As I’ve grown over the last decade, I’ve collected my thoughts every year and always considered speaking to be very enjoyable. While I’ve always considered myself a great candidate for technical teaching (small sessions about technical implementations), I’ve never considered myself wise enough to speak on other topics. Certainly I found myself feeling some of the imposter syndrome whenever I considered speaking on things like leadership, mentorship, evangelism, or really anything else thats non-technical.

After more reflection last year, I realized that I do have knowledge and ideas that I’ve been using for years to be successful. As such I’m getting myself out of my comfort zone and spending some deep time building talks about the following.
