## Talk Description

You don’t need to write code to lead in tech, but you do need to speak the language. In today’s hybrid, engineering-driven environments, the ability to collaborate across disciplines is more valuable than ever. In this keynote, Šárka Kohoutová shares how non-technical leaders can build trust, drive alignment, and deliver real impact - without writing a single line of code. Drawing from 18 years at Microsoft and a career spent bridging business and tech, she’ll unpack how to translate strategy into systems, feedback into features, and “Can you explain that in plain English?” into a superpower. Expect practical frameworks, real-world stories, and a few laughs along the way.
