Matter Over Mind

I strive to showcase my technical know-how to the business audience. Shine a light on my brilliance. Illustrate my intelligence.

"The heuristics based engine will automatically flag records for review..."

Eyes glaze over.

Heads absently nod. Faces light up with the blue screen of something else they are working on.

By putting my mind on display, I have failed to teach the audience the subject matter. Communication usually works best when all parties involved can share a mutual understanding of the topic at hand.
