Neil Thompson is the founder of Teach the Geek, a company dedicated to helping technical professionals effectively communicate the value of their work to non-technical stakeholders. He joins the podcast to share how anyone with a specialization can sharpen their presentation skills—moving beyond acronyms and jargon that only experts understand.  This conversation also explores what L&D professionals can do when they’re on the receiving end of technical lingo. How do you collaborate with a SME who seems to speak a different language? How can you encourage technical workers to embrace soft skill training? And where do we even start when it comes to AI?  Neil answers all of these questions and offers practical tips to solve a common workplace issue: getting too technical.  Resources:   <ul> <li class="Paragraph SCXW220791698 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang= "EN-US">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilithompson/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilithompson/</a>  </li> <li class="Paragraph SCXW220791698 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang= "EN-US">Website: <a href= "https://teachthegeek.com/">https://teachthegeek.com/</a>  </li> <li class="Paragraph SCXW220791698 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang= "EN-US">TD Magazine article (Member-only):  <a href= "https://www.td.org/content/td-magazine/public-speaking-struggles-for-technical-professionals"> https://www.td.org/content/td-magazine/public-speaking-struggles-for-technical-professionals</a>  </li> <li class="Paragraph SCXW220791698 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang= "EN-US">YouTube: <a class= "Hyperlink SCXW220791698 BCX0" href= "https://www.youtube.com/c/teachthegeek" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/c/teachthegeek</a> </li> </ul>
