7 Things Technical Leaders can Learn from Disney Princesses
summary
Seven concrete leadership rules come out of specific princess stories: respect the grind (Tiana saves tips and earns her restaurant), lead yourself first (Rapunzel resists gaslighting), be a catalyst (Mirabel unlocks others), seek support and schedule recovery (Elsa uses mentors and blocked self-care), put your name on the risk (Moana bets the island), adapt to individuals and align agendas (Raya and Ariel). The session uses live karaoke with guest vocals and family role‑play as the learning tool and the musical format clearly works, getting applause and laughs.
