Why do I find it so hard to have a conversation with an engineer?

Developing good communication skills is harder than you'd think. You need to be able to reach people with your thoughts. And trust me, they can't see inside your head. You need to be able to express those thoughts in a way that their own heads can process. Since they haven't had your experiences, and your knowledge of things will differ, too...well, it takes practice! ;)

Being able to communicate effectively is even tougher for people who think in highly technical terms, like engineers. You can add another level of complexity if an engineer needs to be able to communicate with a multicultural, global team. Check out a few pointers in my article, "Importance of Communicating for Global Engineers" at The Nest.Read the article HERE.
