That model no longer fits how tech leaders work today. Over the past years, I have spent time in conversations with founders, executives, and operators who carry real responsibility inside their organizations. As a community builder, I often speak with them before they commit to attending events. Their questions are direct. They want to know who will be in the room, how discussions are structured, and whether the environment allows honest exchange.
Maybe it's an occupational hazard. Workers on the go, constantly moving around, you know, London and the UK. But, I feel like there definitely has to be some form of training on emphasizing the importance of not leaving your laptop on a train or in a tube station.
