I’m on an agile transformation project and I am currently reading Coaching Agile Teams by Lyssa Adkins. It’s pretty concise and would help with this. I would also read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie

How to win friends & influence people is timeless (though obviously dated in some respects). It was one of the first career type books I read out of college, definitely had an impact on my career style

Hi!

I am new here and need advice or any kind of help.

My goal was to break into the tech workforce, and since I did not have any years of experience, I decided to start my tech career in a client-facing role (Sales development representative). After 9 months of working as a Sales Development Representative, I decided to switch to a role that aligned with my masters in Business Analytics
