Why communication, empathy, and resilience matter in tech (And why you need hard skills too)

Is there really anything 'soft' about thriving in one of the world's fastest-moving industries? In tech, resilience, empathy, and communication are not just nice-to-haves, they are essential. Yet, these skills shine brightest when paired with strong technical expertise. True impact comes from blending technical depth with the ability to connect, collaborate, and adapt.In the fast-evolving, post-AI era, resilience is crucial to keep learning, empathy helps navigate shared challenges, and clear communication amplifies our voice. Yet, without continuously building technical credibility, these strengths can go unnoticed. This talk challenges the artificial divide between "soft skills" and technical excellence, highlighting why mastering both is key to building a sustainable, powerful presence in tech. Join us for an honest conversation about bridging technical depth and human connection to create meaningful, lasting success.

Speaker: Soheyla Mirshahi, AI advisor at InTouch
