26: Sena Hineline & Mike Kelly - How to Tap Into Your Ally for a Candid Conversation

You know the tough conversations we want to have, yet do not always have?  As allies, it is critical we talk candidly to achieve equality together. Duo technology leaders, Sena Hineline and Mike Kelly, share the candid conversation about gender that reinforced and set the tone for their workplace culture.  Often leaders are not aware of how their decisions are perceived or the implications for cross-gender relationships.  Their story illustrates how feedback is most valuable when given real-time and from a place of positive intent and trust.  Because their culture is built on speaking your truth, and one to always be learning, it facilitated honest feedback in the moment, regardless of the power dynamic.  Plus, they share their take on how to increase gender diversity in tech.   Learn more about DeveloperTown at https://www.facebook.com/developertown, https://twitter.com/developertown, and https://www.linkedin.com/company/developertown/.    Follow their other ventures on FullStack, Tenant Tracker, Startup Competitors, Startup Competitors podcast, and the Kelly Farms podcast.    And, check out Sena's books at https://www.amazon.com/Hunting-Saga-Book-1-ebook/dp/B0070P98W4 and https://www.amazon.com/Discovery-Hunting-Saga-Book-2-ebook/dp/B00EM28E8W.   Follow us @nextpivotpoint on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook and connect with us 1:1 at www.NextPivotPoint.com.  We post daily about leadership, equality, and career development on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliekratz/.
