This talk will use a few Unix examples, but is intended as a platform agnostic discussion.

Technical staff regularly have great ideas for systems improvement and increasing efficiency, but can often fail in communicating the idea to management or decision makers. Jonathan will provide a framework on increasing buy-in when approaching management staff about new opportunities. The discussion will center around personality types, presentation skills, and optimal language, all without selling your soul or resorting to sleazy sales tactics.
