Welcome to the Code Newby podcast.

We talk to people on their coding journey in hopes of helping you on yours.

I'm your host, Zeron.

And I'm Ben Halpern, a co-founder of Forum and host of Code Newby's sister podcast, Dev Discuss.

And today, we're doing a crossover episode here with Dev Discuss and Co-Newby,

because this topic of soft skills is so important that we thought both of our audiences could benefit from it.

So to talk about these skills and to help us show what they can look like,

we will be joined by artist and educator Kristen Palana and Leanna,

Senior People Operations Manager at Forum.

So I think it's also about educating the boss in a empathetic and, you know, nice way, and also

showing what's in it for them. If you do less or you focus on these two things instead of these

five things, then the outcome's going to be so much better.

If you have a question for Kristen, don't miss the Ask Me Anything session they're hosting

on the Codenewy Community Forum. Just head to community.org, and you'll find their thread

on our homepage, and they'll answer you directly in the comments. That's community.cognubi.org.

In this episode, we get into what good soft skills are and roleplay different scenarios,

like giving tough feedback, good soft skills during interviews, and how to navigate challenging

situations when there are power dynamics at play.

After this.

Oh, that's my prime delivery. Huh, already. Only one thing can match the buzz of Primes fast delivery.

And that's the buzz of Primes entertainment. What are we watching? Heads of State, that new action comedy with Idris Elba as the Prime Minister, John Sina as the president, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, as their only hope. It looks like a blast.
