In their words
Why leaders keep coming back
Attendees rate eHeads 9.4/10 as a meetup they would recommend to a friend, and 92% say the topics were relevant to their own work.
Every technical person really passionate about creating projects or maybe just a startup should go here, because you'll be surrounded by other builders, by other engineering heads.
I wasn't expecting the caliber of people. … Guys, you need to start attending and connecting with the community.
What are the best practices when it comes to one-on-ones?
Especially [in] Filipino culture, they don't often share. They often say, "It's okay." … So probe a lot more.
