In the fast-paced world of software development, effective communication is a game-changer! It can make the difference between project success or failure, team cohesion or dysfunction, and client satisfaction or disappointment. Drawing from my own experiences in the IT industry, I have discovered proven methods that can immediately elevate communication skills for tech teams. This talk delves into techniques such as The Power of TED, Speed of Trust, and strategic word choices, all tailored to the unique challenges and demands of software development. By implementing these strategies, tech teams can unlock new levels of productivity, innovation, and collaboration. Join me on this transformative journey to harness the power of effective communication in the realm of software development and revolutionize the way your team communicates for improved outcomes.

Notas del editor
- Briefly summarize why I want to talk about this Add two pics – family and work family Talk about what you don’t see about my background Most of what we talk about are things I’ve learned along my journey
- Dig into this with the audience – what’s missing? Is this accurate?
- Ask the audience
- Set the stage on the fact that it starts with self
- Talk about an example with driving a car in traffic Model describing how we make judgements about decisions – cognitive biases – 2 + 2 = 5 Identify where you are, analyze your thoughts (what and why) Work backwards from where you found yourself and then forwards Mention ”the story that I’m telling myself”
- Mention “Death by Meetings” by Patrick Lencioni - Daily Check-in, weekly tactical, monthly strategy, quarterly off-site review Ask the audience
- Active listening – Seek first to understand Ask the audience
- Personal pet peeve
- This is what really inspired the talk
- Don’t forget to mention self!
- Changes for future talks: Add a crucial conversation slide Add a non-verbal slide Add “open ended questions” in meetings
