Description
Many skills that come easily to you can feel impossible to others. As a tech-interested person, this likely includes several valuable skills you don’t realize you have. The technology industry prioritizes developing technical skill, but doesn’t always recognize the components of those skills or value the ability to transfer the fundamentals of those skills to others. Luckily for us, the Python community prizes the core skills you need to share your skills with others.
In this talk, I address a few examples of skills you probably have at least one of, tell you why that skill is valuable to your friends and neighbors right now, and introduce some core principles from my background in technical and crisis communication that you can use to help your community build newly-valuable technical skills. By the end of this presentation, you’ll hopefully have a new appreciation for at least one of your existing skills, and some new skills to help you share it with those around you!
