Golden rules of Developer Relations

Golden rules of Developer Relations

In this talk I want to share my personal experience in the last 6 years. Myself I have been very successful as a Master of Ceremonies, public speaker, trainer, blogger and community leader with over 160 talks in 37 countries in 5 continents. I put together a 10-step approach to achieve world-class excellence in Developer Relations using as an inspiration “The Golden rules” book by Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps coach. From the original principles I will draw analogies to similar approaches drawn from professional experience and that I hope will allow you to achieve extraordinary results and help your Developer Relations efforts. I'd love to see you grow and reach your goals applying them. Are you excited? Let’s do this!
