Sinopsis
I got fired for being right.
Not for being wrong. For being right-but saying it the wrong way, to the wrong people, at the wrong time.
That experience, and dozens like it over 30+ years in the tech industry, taught me something that no coding bootcamp or MBA program ever will: how you communicate matters as much as what you know.
Slow Down to Get Ahead is the book I wish I'd had when I started my career. It's a collection of hard-won lessons about the soft skills that actually determine whether you succeed-or sabotage yourself.
What's Inside
26 chapters covering the communication mistakes that can derail your career:
- Why "The Answer is Yes" might be the most important mindset shift you'll ever make
- How to say no without being a jerk (and why most people get this wrong)
- The art of disagreeing without getting fired (I learned this one the hard way)
- Managing your temper when everything is on fire
- Why weasel words undermine your credibility
- The double-edged sword of social media
- And 20 more lessons I had to learn through painful experience
Each chapter includes real stories from my career, practical strategies you can use immediately, and self-reflection questions to help you apply the lessons to your own situation.
Who This Book Is For
- Software developers who are great at code but struggle with "the people stuff"
- Mid-career professionals who've hit a ceiling and suspect communication might be the issue
- Anyone who's ever said the wrong thing at work and watched it blow up
- New managers learning that technical skills got them promoted, but won't keep them there

Acerca del autor
I began learning to program computers way back in 1981 in High School. The Data Processing teacher took pity on a young 9th grader and let me borrow time on the county's HP 2000 to teach myself BASIC. That experience grew into a passion for software development that has never waned.
Though my early career took a 10-year detour, I finally began writing software professionally in 1995. I've been doing that ever since.
