About this event

77% of engineering projects fail due to communication issues, not technical problems. This talk addresses the critical gap between technical excellence and effective communication using systematic approaches that engineers can immediately understand and implement.

Steve reveals how applying familiar engineering principles can transform professional interactions. Attendees will discover why brilliant technical solutions often fail to gain traction, learn a proven framework for diagnosing and fixing communication breakdowns, and master techniques that measurably improve team dynamics and project outcomes. Through interactive demonstrations, participants explore the surprising factors that influence how technical contributions are perceived and valued. Real-world case studies demonstrate quantifiable improvements in team effectiveness and career advancement. Unlike traditional "soft skills" training, this engineering-minded approach treats communication as a technical challenge with systematic solutions. It is perfect for engineering teams, technical leaders, and organisations looking to amplify the impact of their technical innovations.
