jumping to light speed (spotlight session at stc 2014)
DESCRIPTION
A spotlight session from the STC Summit 2014 (#STC14). It sought, in a short 20 minute slot, to introduce the challenges facing technical communicators and a framework (rooted on the work of Hippocrates) for thinking about both leadership and content. A Star Trek theme is mixed in for good measure. Thanks to @maxwellhoffmann for the photo of me presenting this talk (included on the last slide)TRANSCRIPT
