While we Software Engineers often focus on mastering technical details and new technologies for career growth, it's effective communication that truly unlocks our full career potential. In this video, I share my learnings about the art of communication, inspired by Professor Patrick Winston's talk "How to Speak" at MIT. I will make a point about why just coding is not enough and go through 7 tips to get better at communicating complex ideas.
If you've ever wondered how to transition from a good engineer to an invaluable team asset, this is my best advice!
✅ Tailoring messages based on your audience.
✅ Ensuring you're addressing the right people.
✅ Simplification in your explanations.
✅ Why active listening is so important.
✅ The impact of humility in professional discourse.
...and more! Plus, don't miss out on the bonus tip about using humour in the workplace.
