Quality Leadership

View More
A diverse group of adults is seated at round tables in a large, bright room with wood-paneled walls and tall, leaded-glass windows, engaging in a discussion or workshop. On a projector screen at the front, a slide titled "Identity in transition" is visible, showing bullet points about "Self-reflection" and "Generating new ideas". In the foreground, one table is the focus, where several people are looking at each other and talking, with coffee cups, bottles, and papers scattered across the white tablecloth. A man in a light grey shirt stands to the right of this table, speaking or listening intently to the group. The atmosphere appears to be one of collaborative learning and networking.
What happened to your influence and impact after transitioning to a new role?

A dark purple background with small white stars and a larger purple and pink circular shape in the upper right. A white speech bubble in the center contains the quote: "Take care of yourself, take care of your colleagues, take care of your team and good quality products normally come out the other end." Below the quote, aligned to the right, is "- Nicola Sedgwick". In the lower left corner is a cartoon brain wearing glasses and a bowtie, with two black circles below for eyes. In the upper right corner is a logo for Ministry of Testing.

A screenshot collage showing dozens of small, square preview images. The images feature a mix of professional and casual settings, including people smiling and interacting in groups, close-ups of notes and books, conference presentations, outdoor shots, and computer screens. The overall layout is a grid of thumbnails with a purple, gradient background and two small, stylised bug-like characters on the left and right sides. The thumbnails are labelled with various titles related to tech, testing, learning, quality, and conferences (e.g., "TestBash," "MoTaverse," "Community Talks," "MoTaCon," "First Coffee in the Bug Mug").
