Turning Tech Talk into Everyday Language

Ever found yourself rambling about Kubernetes, observability, or CI/CD pipelines—only to be met with blank stares? Or have you been on the receiving end of technical communications that have left you scratching your head in confusion? In this workshop, we'll explore how to stop drowning in details and start making technical conversations resonate with non-technical stakeholders, new hires, or even your grandma. Whether you're pitching a project, mentoring juniors, or just trying to explain what you actually do at work, this talk is your life raft. We'll break down practical strategies for communicating with impact, analogies, and visual metaphors that make complex ideas accessible without watering them down, with some lessons we can learn from an unlikely source. Perfect for engineers, product folks, or anyone who wants their ideas to land with impact, not confusion.
