What are Hot Topics?

During Week 2 and then later during breaks from Hot Seats, Squads discuss common professional challenges and work together to find solutions. To prepare for these discussions, Squad members listen to a mini podcast, or read a short article and come ready to discuss their point of view on the subject. For all meetings, the Squad Mod will kick-off the discussion, but everyone should be prepared to contribute their ideas and can ask questions.

Hot Topics options are here.
