4. DBCx: Karl Hughes, April 9 at 5:30 p.m.
Engineers miss out on a lot of opportunities because they are either afraid to speak up or not comfortable doing so. While technical talent is certainly in demand, technically minded people who can bridge the gap between engineers and business people are often even more crucial to well-rounded teams. Whether you're a senior engineer who's looking to move into management or a junior engineer who's just starting out, communication and networking skills are among of the most valuable assets that you can have. In this talk, we'll go over some steps you can take to actively improve these "soft" skills that aren't as hard as you might think.
