Kubicast #169 - Talking about talking - Career and Networking

Chatting seems simple, but in professional life, it is a critical skill — especially for those working in technology. In episode 169 of Kubicast, we invited Rafael Ferreira, Microsoft MVP and host of Low Ops, to unpack how communication can transform a career.

The conversation covers many points: from how using gifs in presentations can be a powerful tool, to the subtleties of body language at events. Rafael shares his experiences at tech events and how, many times, leaving without talking to anyone is wasting valuable opportunities. He also shares how he set up a podcast to get closer to those he admired professionally — and it worked.

We also talked about authenticity and the battle against the dress code, discussing how dressing the right way (for you) can be part of your non-verbal communication. A sincere, light and, at the same time, insight-filled conversation about how we express ourselves in the tech world.

Episode highlights:

• Networking in practice

• Communication as a career tool

• Why gifs in slides work

• Dress code and authenticity
