I am not a good talker. But I can talk when I need to. I manage. One of the goals when I started my career was to improve my speaking skills. I did that. I committed a few years of my life and attended Toastmasters. I improved a great deal. But I did not became a better story teller. I did not became a quicker thinker. I don’t know if there is an easy way of accomplishing that. Maybe there is, but perhaps I need to find ways to become a quicker thinker, to become a more analytical thinker, to remember more.
Memory is my weak spot.
With all of this, I am somehow managing. I don’t know if I have any upside, but do I need to? If anything, upside is on my own. Other than that, I don’t think I want to become a VP, or an architect. I think I am quite content with being a senior dev or dev lead. I think I should master both and stick with that.
