Title: Humans are hard, Code is easy
Brief Session Description:
Are you a frustrated technical leader who feels like they know enough? However, the success you thought you would have is out of reach. You see others who make better strides but why? Is it a skills gap?
Come learn how to set yourself apart as a project manager or developer and learn the skills of influence and collaboration. Learn from Tom’s struggles as a developer, project manager, and manager. Instead of focusing on technical skills, he had to look elsewhere. In “Humans are Hard, Code is Easy” we share the 3 Core Soft skills.
-
Communication - Communicate and listen with effectiveness
-
Relationships - Build strong relationships by understanding other people’s interests
-
Influence - Foster connection and generate influence.
Attend this interactive engagement. Bring your willingness to learn and share your insights. From career ups and downs, we can glean transferable skills. There are other more important items where developers might focus on code and project managers on plans.
