A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last Thursday for the May edition of the Software Engineering Leadership @ WRK Meet-up & Social! 🎉
We had an insightful and engaging session centered around the theme “A Fractional Future”—a topic that’s becoming increasingly relevant as organisations evolve and adapt to new ways of working.
Our Dream Team of Speakers
We were lucky to be joined by a stellar panel:
Gabrielle Earnshaw
Clement Pickering
Kat Obring
Each of them brought their own unique journey into the world of fractional work, sharing the challenges they’ve faced, the benefits they’ve experienced, and why this approach can be a game-changer for both professionals and organisations.
Kat Obring summed it up beautifully with an Albert Einstein quote that really resonated with the room:
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
This powerful idea helped set the tone for the evening, sparking thoughtful discussion and fresh perspectives throughout the session.
Insights, Advice & Takeaways
The session embodied exactly what these meet-ups are all about—open sharing of knowledge, practical advice, and genuine community engagement. The panel wrapped up by opening the floor to questions, and what followed was a lively exchange of experiences and insights from everyone in the room. 🚀
A few key takeaways:
Why fractional support can add immediate value to teams and projects
Tools and techniques for thriving across multiple organisational contexts
How to manage competing priorities and responsibilities as a fractional contributor

See you at the next one!
