Powell Room

A developer walks into a bar. Then he leaves because it’s full of people and people are scary. Developers are not known as the best communicators in the world. Yet from entry level to the corner office, communication is the key to success. This talk will show you how a few simple ideas from the world of improvisation, like “Yes, and,” and “Never deny!” can make communicating a little less scary and a lot more productive.
