Effective communication is the most important skill for any technical role that involves working with other humans. The opportunity cost of poor communication means you're working harder to achieve poorer results; effective communication makes everything easier.

In this session you'll learn five simple questions that you should ask yourself before you send an email, schedule a meeting, start a chat, or deliver a presentation - questions that will help you achieve the results you need, while not wasting anyone else's time.

This is a 5- or 10-minute session.
