SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 -Welcome to the show. Today we’re going to teach our audience some valuable skills. Tell us a little bit about your background.
Topic 2 - Let’s begin by talking about the intersection of geeks and how they communicate. In what ways do they feel comfortable communicating vs. uncomfortable communicating?
Topic 3 - We find that oftentimes geeks will focus more on their technical skills early in their career, and only later in their career do they recognize the importance of a broad set of communication skills. Do you find this to be a common pattern?
Topic 4 - What are some tips, tricks and ways to get better at communication? Which modes of communication (written, oral, story-telling, influence) are the most important?
Topic 5 - What are some ways that geeks can get the practice or experience needed to improve their communications?
