Leading Women in Technology with Laura Marino
“For the leaders that are trying to promote innovation, to encourage a team to do something that may be difficult and new and hard. I think you need to show passion. You need to show empathy. You need to tell the story of why this is important, why there is going to be impact, and then you need to make the team feel that they are empowered but supported.” – Laura Marino
Exploring the Implications of Innovation with Zach Davis
“Why is innovation happening? I used to think that the answer had to do with necessity. That technology and innovation unfolded when people had something that they needed. The more I studied it, the more I realized that a lot of this innovation comes from: “why?” I was messing around with this. I wanted it. I was curious. I was interested. I didn’t intend for this to happen, this was serendipitous, this all just kind of came together” -Zach Davis, Senior Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
