Why do so many smart and accomplished people immediately discount their abilities and call themselves “non-technical”? Software isn’t magic. It’s a skill. One that can be learned — if you have the right mindset. You don’t have to go to a fancy school, spend thousands of dollars, or move across the country. This knowledge is available to you no matter where you live and no matter what industry you come from. All you need to do is change the way you think. In this talk, Andrea Goulet will share her journey from not knowing how to code to becoming an industry leader. You'll get immediately actionable insights that will help you shatter glass ceilings, increase confidence, and grow your technical prowess.

ADDICTIVE BELIEF SYSTEM THAT FUELS THIS
PRIMARY THOUGHT: IF I LOOK PERFECT, AND
DO EVERYTHING PERFECTLY, I CAN AVOID OR
MINIMIZE THE PAINFUL FEELINGS OF SHAME,
JUDGMENT, AND BLAME.”

I HAD TO WORK REALLY HARD. I THINK IT’S THE SYNTAX THAT’S TRIPPING
YOU UP. YOU’RE A NATURAL WITH ALGORITHMS & PATTERNS.
34. FIXED MINDSET
@andreagoulet
Believing your qualities are carved in stone creates an
urgency to prove yourself over and over again.
This leads to perfectionism.

35. GROWTH MINDSET
@andreagoulet
Believing you may not know everything now, but
trusting that you can learn, grow, change, and adapt.
Absolutely required for success in software.
41. IMPOSTER SYNDROME
@andreagoulet
Chronic self-doubt that overrides any feelings of
success, even in the face of external proof.
High-achieving perfectionists are most susceptible.
