Over the years, numerous developers I’ve met or worked with have often complimented me that I’m an effective communicator, with a confident, personable, and engaging style. I thought it would be good to take the opportunity to distill as many of my learnings into a talk for you, so you can take some lessons with you and try them out in your projects. I’ll cover verbal and written techniques, ways that you can boost your confidence and self-belief, and understand the different personas that you come into contact with, particularly non-technical individuals. I’ll also cover how you can better write technical articles and get some confidence-making screencasts and videos too. As a result, you will find that people will be better able to understand you, and you’ll have an easier time influencing others to see things the same way that you do.
