In both popular literature and media, we've all seen the clichéd portrayal of the brilliant engineer spouting indecipherable jargon to explain a situation ... and, inevitably, the main character uses a simple analogy to demystify the message. In the real world, however, things rarely mirror those stereotypes, but miscommunication or poor communication of technical messages is still one of the biggest and often hidden problems for engineering leaders and organizations.

In this episode, hosts Andy and Mon-Chaio tackle the challenge of technical communication in the workplace. They offer practical advice for engineering leaders on how to effectively convey complex technical messages to less-technical bosses and peers. The focus is not just on using financial terms like ROI or KPIs, but on truly understanding your audience and using storytelling to make your message clear and impactful. Andy and Mon-Chaio also discuss the importance of empathy and the power of narrative to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical worlds.
