“I don’t have anything interesting to share,” “I'm not an expert enough to be speaking about it,” “Why don’t you ask someone else?” Ever asked someone from your team to deliver a presentation and heard them say any of these?

I believe we all have a story worth sharing. I believe in the power of sharing our experiences, our failures, and our successes with others, internally within our companies or externally with the community. By maintaining a healthy knowledge-sharing culture, you’re not only contributing to your team’s growth, both professionally and personally, but you also help them connect, perform better, and contribute to your company’s attraction and retention efforts.

But how do you get started? How can you engage the introverted members of your team to step from the back row into the front, and how, on earth, will they overcome their stage fright? Spoiler: it’s not always easy but there are actionable steps you can take to turn their “RUSTY” experiences, their bugs, or that time when they broke production into GOLDEN lesson learned stories for others.

​Throughout the years, and after training hundreds of tech speakers, I have gathered a handful of power tips that helped me manage my own unbearable stage fright and turn others' stories into incredibly awesome tech talks. Join me and learn WHY and HOW to transform your team’s stories into gold.
