Linked – Are public speaking skills a cheat code for IT career success?
This should be obvious:
New research suggests that improving your public speaking skills can advance your IT career.
No matter how much technical skill you have, eventually, you will have to communicate your knowledge to someone who isn’t as skilled in the technology. If you can’t do that, your career will hit a ceiling. Even if you have no plans to get up in front of an audience, learning how to tell a story, influence others, educate others, etc., will serve you well when you have to explain a complex technical concept to someone.
You will have to explain what you know someday. Learn how to do it well.
