One of the great challenges in business is finding a technical and IT expert that has not only the skills but the also the communication skills to be able to work with them. Our expert today is one of the best communicators that I have heard in this field. He is a natural communicator and can do it in workshops, on the stage as a keynote or in the media. You hang onto these people.
Zaun Bhana is the managing director of Leap Consulting and he has been working on his delivery of his expertise in media now for over four years. His natural ability with the spoken word and comfort in front of the camera is quite inspiring for any expert out there let alone from the IT industry. His natural character comes out in this podcast and the humour is flying. He certainly does tick all the boxes that media are looking for in an expert.
The world is digital today and it is here to stay. Zaun shared that he is hiring people now and that there is a written and a communication element of the hiring process. It is recognised that you can have all the skills but if you can’t communicate you are not an asset to the business. The other skill and it is noted on numerous times the ability to tell a story. An anecdote or an example is what all experts want to have in their arsenal and Zaun has a story for everything.
“There is an easy default talking technology to take by either wowing people or scaring people.”
One of the great fears that many in most industries fear is what their colleagues of said industry might think or say of them. It is a great fear and Nic does have a little rant and fire-up for all that are scared. You will enjoy the pump and it is a message for everyone and not just those working in technology or IT.
