Talking Confidently for Software Engineers

In this course, "Talking Confidently for Software Engineers," learn different strategies to make you feel confident in stressful software development situations. Please note that this course does not teach you how to speak, as you already know that, but instead introduces strategies to help you feel more confident before, during, and after stressful talking and debating situations.

Talking confidently and clearly in modern software development environments is now more critical than ever. And I’m not specifically talking about public speaking to large audiences here, but about being able to talk confidently in day to day stressful software development situations.

Hi I'm Rag Dhiman, a technical instructor and software architect, and I would like to welcome you to my course titled: Talking confidently, for Software Engineers. Gone are the days when we could design, develop, and test software within a small team and a small business. We can no longer hack the world and its problems my from our computers in isolation.

In today's agile software development world, every morning, you take part in a team standup where you explain your progress and what you are about to do that day. And you also have to take part in regular planning meetings to organize your work, and in these situations, you have to stand your ground on the suggestions and estimates you make. And even when it comes to technical design, you and your team take a collaborative approach by working on the design around a whiteboard, and again you need to present and defend your ideas clearly and passionately, whilst at the same time having the ability to question others and their ideas.

So I hope you’ll join me on this course "Talking Confidently for Software Engineers." to learn how to feel confident about talking in stressful software development situations. And at the end of the course the course provides you with a framework and a program to apply several strategies.
