In which Nadia and Saron wrap up the Ruby Book Club podcast! Hear why the show has come to an end, what Nadia and Saron have learnt over the last 2 years, and what they're planning to read next.
In this episode, we conclude our interview with CodeNewbie founder Saron Yitbarek. We discuss the value of shared learning through the Ruby Book Club, discuss what makes the Codeland Conference unique, and talk about the challenges and opportunities of sharing our own stories and coding journeys. We also turn the tables on Saron and ask her to play a version of her own podcast’s “Rapid Fire Fill in The Blank”. Resource by QualiTest Group
Nonviolent Communication With Nadia Odunayo Follow us on Twitter @techdoneright (https://twitter.com/tech_done_right), and please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tech-done-right/id1195695341?mt=2)! Guest Nadia Odunayo (https://twitter.com/nodunayo), nadiaodunayo.com (http://www.nadiaodunayo.com/), Co-host of Ruby Book Club (http://rubybookclub.com/), director at Ignition Works (http://ignition.works/). Summary Do you have interactions with co-workers where one or both of you get angry and defensive, and everybody ends up frustrated? Today we talk to Nadia Odunayo about "Nonviolent Communication", a way to communicate that honestly addresses issues, explaining how you feel without harming the other person, and getting everybody to the point where they feel better about the situation and have a clear path to move forward. Nadia gives examples of how she uses nonviolent communication in her day-to-day life, and she tries to coach me to improve my own skills. By focusing on communication your needs and not assuming anything about others, you can make difficult discussions less difficult.
