The Making of a Manager Adventure (Evening Event)

March 28, 2019 @ 6:00 pm PDT

About the Event

Adventures by the Book is pleased to partner with Watermark for The Making of a Manager with one of Silicon Valley’s Top product design executives, Julie Zhou!

Now one of Silicon Valley’s top product design executives as Vice President of Product Design at Facebook, Zhuo started her career in tech as an intern at Facebook and became a rookie manager at 25. She felt lost and unprepared to succeed in this new role. Could she be a great manager with almost no prior managerial experience? What did being a manager exactly entail? Has they made a mistake in promoting her? As a first-generation American and minority female leader, Zhuo was excited about the idea of being a leader, but didn’t know where or how to being.

During this personal morning event with Julie, she will walk you through The Making of a Manager, which combines practical, action-based advice with the tools and confidence you need to lead a great team.

Acting as a field guide, you’ll receive valuable and practical tips:

Challenges of being a minority female manager in technology

Awkwardness of managing former peers

Delivering hard feedback

What to ask in an interview

Ability (and confidence) to make real-time decisions
