Hello everyone, Igor Fraga here resuming the posting series after an amazing "The Developers Conference" that happened some days ago! We will talk about that in a separated post, showing you some pictures and sharing my experience of being a speaker at that event, and today's post is related to this subject, about Finding Your Own Voice in the Tech Community.
Today, we will continue with the series of posts from Interviewing Java Champions, from the interview with Elder Moraes, writer, mentor and Java Champion. This is the seventh post from this series.
During our episode of The Out of the Box Developer podcast, in our conversation, we have explored the idea of finding your own voice as a developer in the tech community. In a world full of content and opinions, it's important to stand out and share your unique perspective.
Elder shared his thoughts with us on how to develop a distinctive voice. He explained, "your voice is what makes you unique. It's about sharing your authentic perspective, your experiences, and your way of seeing the tech world."
I believe that finding your voice is essential for building a strong personal brand. As I discussed with Elder, "when you have your own voice, people connect with you on a deeper level. They are not just hearing information; they are hearing you. This is what makes you stand out from the others or from AI generated content" - I added*.*
Here are some ways we discussed to find and develop your own voice in tech:
- Be Authentic: Share your genuine thoughts and experiences. Don't try to be someone you're not.
- Focus on Your Strengths and Interests: Talk about topics you are passionate about and knowledgeable in. Your enthusiasm will shine through.
- Share Your Personal Experiences: Your unique journey and experiences are valuable. Share your successes, failures, and lessons learned.
- Develop Your Own Style: Experiment with different writing styles, presentation styles, or video formats to find what feels natural and effective for you.
- Engage in Conversations: Participate in discussions, share your opinions, and respond to others in the community. This helps you refine your voice and connect with others.
Elder encouraged us, "don't be afraid to be yourself and share your unique perspective. Your voice matters, and there's an audience out there who wants to hear what you have to say."
Embrace your individuality and let your authentic voice be heard in the tech community.
Sadly, we are reaching closer to the end of this amazing series. In the next and last post from this series from the interview with Elder, we will talk about “Finding Your Audience as a Tech Content Creator", and the hints that Elder brought to us on this subject.
