English session - Beginner

Your manager's expectations are rarely written down, so people guess, and often guess wrong. As an engineering manager, I'll show you how to set those expectations together: what to ask for in a 1:1, how to agree on what good looks like, and how to make your work visible without it feeling like self-promotion. We'll go through real cases and what actually worked in each.
