If the author had emphasized the practical benefits to the average non-influencer-wannabe dev, this article would have been a lot more useful. This! Or how about some humility: Tell a story about where your communication style didn't work, and what you learned and how you changed. Or tell a story about the worst talk that you ever gave. I like listening to those stories from comedians -- their bigest failure -- and what they learned. With 100% certainty, I have learned more from my failures, than my successes. And too many of my successes were luck. To quote Mike Bloomberg (again on HN!), "Work hard, and you might get lucky."
