Soft skills with André Brandão
The illustrious guest of this episode is André Brandão, who has been working in the IT field for over 20 years and, for the past five years, has dedicated himself to creating courses to train and develop people with a focus on behavioral skills. Speaking of courses, André is the instructor of the latest LinuxTips training: Uncomplicating Behavioral Skills I.
Within this agenda, along with João Brito, André explores the need to develop fluid communication, active listening, and effective feedback dynamics to go beyond our technical skills.
Good communication, for example, avoids rework and misunderstandings in the workplace. Active listening can bring changes to improve the company's environment, and knowing how to give and receive feedback helps people evolve personally and professionally.
Even knowing the importance of this, the show raises counterpoints: is the maxim that a good professional is simply one who delivers results and that's it still considered true today? Does the excuse that people don't change—that they are born and die the way they are—still hold up?
