💬 What audiences say after Limor’s talks

Real feedback from engineering leaders after keynotes and conference sessions.
“I really liked your presentation, especially the part about formulating our leadership values. After the conference, I’m planning to spend time reflecting on it properly. It was incredibly impactful.”
Engineering Manager, IU International University of Applied Sciences
“It was a great talk. It gave me a completely new perspective on being a woman in tech. I realized I’ve been too hard on myself. What I really need to focus on is understanding the value I bring and why it matters. And yes… being a little less apologetic would help 😜”
Senior Unity Developer, L1VE
“I normally don’t reach out to speakers. This is actually the first time. But your talk at LeadDev was truly inspiring. Thank you!”
Engineering Director, Ocado Technology
“Your talk was excellent. I subscribed to your Substack immediately afterward. You were also such a great person to chat with. Truly inspiring.”
Data Engineer, Northcoders
“I really enjoyed your talk today. It was full of great insights. Thank you!”
Senior Engineering Manager, Cleverbridge
“Great Start into the second day of DevOpsDays Zurich with a brilliant keynote delivered by Limor Bergman Gross on leadership patterns and antipatterns! One of the many things that resonated with me is the concept of “strong opinions weakly held”: do have strong opinions, but be willing to change them based on new evidence or better arguments.”
