The concept being if you\u2019re building a company, a startup, a solution to some problem \u2013 that you talk (and publish content) about the thought process going into it, the decisions you\u2019re making along the way. This process, this openness, exposes the \u201cwhy\u201d to your \u201cwhat\u201d. It makes the founder and the concept more approachable. It provides context for potential customers, partners, and clients to understand the solution, the impact, and the business more. It will drive engagement, and ideally end up with not just more customers, but more passionate customers. <\/p>\n<p>Arvid and others can do a better job of explaining the \u201cBuilding in Public\u201d concept, but that\u2019s the takeaway I have from it. <\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, talking, building, and having conversations doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re *right* about everything, for sure. But you\u2019re digging in and developing opinions. Ideally, you\u2019re open to discussion on topics and tweaking your opinions as you learn and grow.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h2>Learning and Doing in Public<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cShow evidence of your mastery\u201d The context I\u2019m interested in is around tech skills. And showing mastery here is just as important.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>How do you show evidence? Write a blog post or an article on a site like LinkedIn. Record a demo video. It could start with journaling for yourself until you\u2019re comfortable writing for others. There are lots of ways of getting started and progressing from there.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h3>For Yourself<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It can show your current employer what you know, what you\u2019re learning, as well as how well you can communicate. <\/li>\n<li>It provides more information to prospective employers if\/when you\u2019re looking for a new opportunity. <\/li>\n<li>Sharing, writing, communicating: Great practices that develops soft skills. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Your Company<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Like individuals sharing stories, organizations can demonstrate proficiencies to clients and customers.&nbsp; <\/li>\n<li>Within a company, teams can share solutions to internal challenges. These often result in other departments wanting to implement similar solutions \u2013 not only resulting in business wins but added ROI for the tools and licensing companies invest in.&nbsp; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Others <\/h3>\n<p>The more you share, the more opportunities there are for folks to learn from you. People learn in different ways. You never know when your style of communication might sync with someone\u2019s method of learning. You never know when that nugget of information you figured out is the one thing they\u2019ve been trying to find. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tweet got me thinking: Show evidence of your mastery.
