«Over the last few weeks, I’ve been diving into the Leadership Byte Program by Paya, and I have to say ...
It's a game-changer for anyone in tech leadership.
✅ Short, powerful lessons;
✅ Real-world scenarios I could relate to;
✅ Clear frameworks for growing beyond just managing people.
As someone who’s been leading engineering teams for years, I still found several "aha!" moments; especially around mindset shifts, stakeholder alignment, and how to scale trust across teams.»
