"Let's mature this conversation" was an amazing session. The 'people-systems-process' framework is amazing for maturity conversations.
The sentences that stayed with me the most are "shift blame to curiosity" and "talk before testing".
On the final slide she quoted herself (like an MOT star should) and it sums up the talk and Megan's perspective perfectly!

I've been in testing since 2023, since then I never stopped learning and taking every opportunity I've come across. From becoming test lead not long after I started, to being a community lead for testing and for AI in at the company I work at. Nowadays I'm learning the ropes of leading with quality as I have added the role of quality manager of my department to my growing list of titles.
