3 Skills to Master to Thrive in a Client-Facing Technical Role

About this session

Client-facing technical roles can be difficult.

They require you to be dedicated to all of the nuances and complexities of technologies, as well as communicate with customers, handle delicate situations, problem-solve, and explain difficult processes.

How you interact with clients is crucial – and it requires important soft skills. Skills like patience and empathy will dictate how successful you are when communicating with customers, but these soft skills can’t be taught. They must be developed over time.

Chhavi Shah, Senior Solution Architect at Skedulo, will be joining us to share her own experience in client-facing technical roles, why certain soft skills play a pivotal part in your interactions with clients, and why collaboration between technical and non-technical teams is crucial to client-facing positions.

Join us to learn:

  • How to successfully get to know your client, explain your project to them, and get their buy-in
  • What soft skills can help you improve your communication and collaboration
  • Key tips on bridging the communication gap between technical and non-technical professionals
