Command Presence Workshop, Organized by the Women of OpenStack

RSVP Required.

The Command Presence Workshop has been recognized by the Anita Borg Institute and Harvard Business Review.  It is intended to teach participants how to handle “senior-level high pressure meetings”.  The majority of the workshop is a task-force convened to address a simulated, but very realistic crisis event.  In the class, each participant assumes a role, and is given about 30minutes to prepare 1-2 slides.  Once the class has prepared, the simulation begins.  There is a role-play simulation. It is not uncommon to hear occasional “gasps” of disbelief from the participants.  The workshop participants will experience rapid-fire questioning, interruption, and other situations that occur in senior-level meetings, but in a safe environment conducive to learning techniques for handling such situations. 

Facilitators: Ruchi Bhargava (Intel), Malini Bhandaru (Intel) and a panel of leaders representative of the OpenStack leadership in the community (business leaders and technical leaders).
