A Quick Intro
I'm Kelly Vaughn, Senior Engineering Manager at Zapier. I've spent years figuring out how to lead technical teams without burning out—and more importantly, how to help other leaders do the same.
Every framework I share comes from real experience: the wins, the failures, and everything in between. My goal is to help you build clarity in your leadership role without adding to the chaos of your day.
