Here's how you can confidently present your ideas and solutions as a programmer in meetings.

You are very confident when you are sure of yourself. Understand the solution you want to present in and out. On the technical side, know the technologies used, understand their integrations and how they work, be able to breakdown and explain the complex logic of your application. Also, have the ability to portray the solution to non-technical stakeholders without boring them with the technical complexities. This shows that you know your stuff and you will be confident to present your solution.

Engaging your audience is crucial for a successful presentation. Start by connecting your ideas to the broader goals of the project or company to show relevance. Use interactive elements like asking questions or inviting feedback to keep your colleagues involved. Make your points concise and relatable, avoiding overly technical jargon when presenting to non-technical stakeholders. By actively engaging your audience, you make your presentation more compelling and increase the likelihood that your ideas will be well-received. #PresentationSkills

Knowing your stuff about a topic full of very technical minded people is one of the most powerful ways to present your ideas. Developers, and technical people in general, relate value with an idea's soundness. If you present an idea and it lacks the basic foundation of being a sound idea, technical people tend to dismiss the idea altogether. So knowing your stuff and having a sound idea when presenting will certainly garner favor with technical decision makers instead of being simply dismissed.

Confidently present your ideas and solutions as a programmer in meetings by preparing thoroughly, focusing on clarity and relevance, using visual aids effectively to enhance understanding, actively listening to others' perspectives, adapting your communication style to engage diverse audiences, and demonstrating passion and expertise in advocating for your proposals.

If you're facing difficulties or need to explain complex ideas, try simplifying your explanation or breaking it into smaller, more digestible parts. It's also crucial to organize your speech with notes to ensure you cover all necessary points and stay on track. This approach helps maintain clarity and ensures your audience can follow along.

Il est difficile de recevoir et donner des critiques, mais garder en tête que tout travail est critiquable, ceci donne un piste de l'axe d'amélioration. J'ai souvent réussi à sortir un meilleur résultat en écoutant des critiques. Il est important de garder en tête, les critiques sont juste un point de vue ou un aspect que l'on a pas pensé avant. Ni plus ni moins.
