Optional Conference 2014 in Budapest (I'll be speaking there on 8th April)

I will be presenting talk titled:
Structured soft skills (not only) for Technical Leaders
You are not a born leader. You haven't been prepared to be one but you were chosen to be. And then everything changed. Now you should be a good communicator, negotiator, mediator, facilitator, motivator. You have heard that you should be a servant leader, should prefer collaboration over contract negotiation, people over processes but … you think: „What the heck should I exactly do?“ Most of the leadership hints are general, fuzzy and unstructured. If it sounds familiar to you, this is a talk for you.
We will talk about fundamental soft skills in a structured way. You will see a lot of schemas, diagrams, algorithms, dependencies you weren't aware of before. This way misty soft world will become familiar and easier to understand for left-brainers (people loving to think in an analytical way).
What we will talk about?
- How to resolve tough (conflict) situations.
- How to find a problem solution.
- How to conduct effective meetings in a way nobody told you about earlier.
Who will benefit from this?
- Technical leaders, team leaders, any other kind of leaders working dealing with software development.
- Leaders and all technical folks interested in developing their soft skills.
- Technical guys (developers, testers, ux designers) at least having clue that soft skills might be really important in their work.

I am excited and a little bit stressed as these will be my first talks in English.
Keep your fingers crossed and come if you can.
