You hear it everywhere: if you want to be a modern Solutions Architect and not get left behind, you must know GenAI, DDD, EventSourcing, EventStorming, or EventModelling.
It’s only half the truth.
The other half—without which you simply won’t succeed—are soft skills.

I’ll share my non-technical experience working as a Solutions Architect and talk about:

- How to structure your statements
- What techniques to use to increase self-confidence during important meetings
- Why small talk matters
- How to impress a client
- How to present solutions clearly
- How to reduce stress levels

Soft skills are just like technical skills: you can improve them.

It’s not easy. Especially if you want to be more than an average Senior Engineer and keep your position safe in the coming years.
