Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means.
– Albert Einstein
Scott Adams made this observation: If you were talking to Albert Einstein, and he got struck by lightning and became twice as smart, would you be able to tell? Many folks do not understand detailed technological talk. Like the manager, Jen, who in “The IT Crowd” tries but can only hear static when Moss talks computer jargon. As IT professionals, we have to learn to communicate effectively. If we do not, many folks simply cannot tell the difference between the IT professional who may be right but cannot communicate his thoughts and the guy who is just making stuff up but saying it in a smart confident manner.
This page initially started as a post. I kept coming back to edit and add various presentations posted from the RSS feeds. As time passed and items were added, the page become longer and somewhat out dated. Meanwhile, folks were postings links to great presentations. I decided to treat presentations like podcasts. Over on the right of this page, you will find an area titled “Recent Presentations.” These are recent presentations (thus the creative title) that I came across and thought might intereset others.
