04 // HOW to Make Stakeholders Love You & Build Great Working Relationships (& More) with Nick Cosentino

Relationships with stakeholders can make or break your job.

Not to mention your promotion.

Nick Cosentino, a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft breaks down how to do it well — whether the stakeholder is a Staff Software Engineer or they don't know the difference between Java and JavaScript.

(the names are confusing, I hear ya)

Additionally, we talk about how to debug well (and frame it better during standups when you're stuck), feel better about giving people feedback, and how to start getting better at it all starting tomorrow.   

Working well with others is a skill that can be learned. Tune in as we dive into how we can improve at work, especially as software engineers.
