"The ability to translate "Geek Boy" language to whatever relevant occupational language the counterpart uses, is probably one of the most valuable soft skills one can have."
It's my single biggest selling point when I'm a consultant. I'm very technical, always was, but I also have great language skills. I've written tech books, tech news, regular news, interviewed people, plenty of academic writing, and lots of creative fiction writing, so I've got a lot of experience crafting messages. This has helped me immensely in my career as I can explain things in terms the client can understand. People will pay extra for being able to understand where their money is going and why.
