8 Conversational Habits That Kill Credibility Dressing for success may create a good impression, but people judge your intelligence and credibility based upon what comes out of your mouth. Here are eight verbal habits that immediately mark you as somebody who's either foolish or shifty: 1. Jargon Jargon (aka "biz-blab") consists of hijacking normal words and using them in odd ways to make them sound "businessy."

5 books / 5 slides / 5 minutes | WatirMelon At the last Brisbane Software Testers meetup I volunteered to do a 5 minute lightning talk. Since I’ve read a lot of books lately I thought I would share what I had read and some of the key snippets and set my set a challenge of talking about 5 books using 5 slides in 5 minutes. Unfortunately some of the other volunteers for lightning talks withdrew so I had a longer window and ended up talking way longer (including some bonus slides about Think Like A Freak). I am keen to try this again using 5 books I have since read to see if it’s actually possible to communicate this amount of information. My slides are below and are also available in PDF format (accessible).
