Dana Lawson just wrapped up a fun chat on Trace Talks with John Daniels and Pedro Pizarro from Directus! They got into some real talk about her journey from wannabe artist 👉 to Army vet 👉 to tech exec. Spoiler alert: It wasn't all smooth sailing. They dug into: -How she learned to communicate without her brain running a million miles an hour -Why she's pushing her team to embrace AI (It's not as scary as most think!) -Creating a culture where it's okay to ask the "dumb" questions -Balancing her inner tech nerd with people management -And for all the ICs out there eyeing leadership roles, she shared some unfiltered advice. If you're heading to our Compose Conference this week (Oct 2-3), say hi! She'll be the one pretending she's not nervous on stage. 😉 🎙️ Listen to her talk: https://lnkd.in/eEM_7iPc 🎙️ Or tune in on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e4p_MezY
