Hooowww’s it going with the Tech Differently project so far?
I am so very pleased. 🙂
Thing 1: Today, we had our 9th registration. 🙂
Thing 2: There is something absolutely magical about the group that has formed. The people who make it through the application process (it is an easy process, but it’s just not a fit for everyone and the process checks for that), are excited to be there and are so interesting.
Not everyone sees how interesting they are yet, but we’ll get there. 😉 I can’t wait to introduce them to you, after we’ve workshopped how to talk about ourselves and our work.
Thing 3: The sliding scale is doing exactly what it was meant to do. Making space for people who have great things to share on tech stages but may be caught in the current tough tech job market, or may be from a country with a different economy and a lower cost of living.
On that note: we have 6 countries represented in the program so far! 👏👏👏
Thing 4: I’m going to use the word magic again. The live lessons so far have been palpable magic. Especially the Impostor Syndrome & Authentic Confidence class. I could actually see each person shift their self-identity and what they believe they are capable of.
I’m excited for today's lesson. It’s an optional bonus topic on Clarity and Pronunciation. I’m teaching techniques to slow down and be understood clearly, whether we’re working on being understood in English, we’re natural mumblers (hi, it’s me), or we tend to speed up on stage. All with a focus on tech vocabulary. 🙂 🙂
Curious about what this is all about?
