How do cognitive biases shape not only our professional decisions but also our personal interactions? In this episode, Mike Bushong shares his expertise on cognitive biases and his experiences transitioning to Nokia while working within data center technologies. We break down how our brains' natural shortcuts, like confirmation bias, can influence everything from our social media interactions to critical business decisions. By understanding these biases, we aim to foster more effective communication and collaboration, whether in high-stakes negotiations or everyday conversations.
Mike and the team delve into practical strategies for making your presentations and pitches more persuasive by leveraging cognitive biases. From whiteboard tactics that feel spontaneous yet are carefully crafted, to storytelling techniques that lead your audience to their own conclusions, we explore how to make your messages stick. We also tackle emotionally charged discussions, such as political debates, by emphasizing empathy and recognizing the constraints others face. Through personal anecdotes and lessons learned, you'll gain insights on balancing skepticism with action and the importance of direct communication.
We wrap up with a deep dive into the power of storytelling and constructive criticism in professional settings. You'll hear about a pivotal moment in my career when a colleague's candid feedback reshaped my approach to leadership and workload management. Mike also discusses the challenges of selling new solutions to committed clients, highlighting the necessity of understanding past decisions and guiding customers toward new choices. Whether you're a network engineer or just fascinated by the psychology of decision-making, this episode offers valuable strategies for improving your communication and problem-solving skills. Don't miss our engaging discussion on the Art of Network Engineering!

    The problem with articles etc buzz words does match job postings.. theres a direct path from 0 to network engineer and the certs are relavant..anybody going from 0 to cloud doesnt really have a path. But 0 to jr sys admin/net engineer where you get cloud experience will lead to cloud. I cant imagine data centers and service providers no lomger needing network engineers. I think everyone will be system admin/engineer with a specialty networking/ programming/ server admin etc. Besides service provider and data center which keeps growing

    My imposter syndrome faded away when I was working with a double CCIE that we brought in to help with a case and I heard him say; "I don't know, but we'll figure it out together." Every ounce of imposter syndrome I had faded away then. We're all doing the best we can, no matter our level of expertise.

    I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. My criticism and suggestions below: 1. It would have made more sense to plan/script some of these conversations (e.g. the example of what a flop/exflop was pointless. Even saying: ("Add 1.5 + 1.5", that's a FLOP, if everyone on Earth does the calculation at the same time, that's a 8 Gigaflops, now if we had 125,000,000 Planet Earths doing a calculation per second, this would be the same power.) 2. Really didn't talk much about the Network, very wishwashy/high level. A 5-minute whiteboard session could have added more detail. Seems there was another Team who managed the HPC Fabric vs. the "Classic Network" that could have been consulted. Really not much detail, most of this detail had to be sighted from the b-roll. 3. Asking the applications used on the HPC would have been better asked to a user/scientist 4. Could have included a tour of the operations centre/NOC and other areas (HVAC, Power) would have been interesting. These are all supporting areas which are interesting 5. This could have been 10 minutes long 6. The guest mentions early in the video it's 200 Gbps Ethernet, yet the question is asked again in the video

    Great episode! Alexis has shown a much needed light on the SE role that honestly was very needed. SE's are not your sales rep, they are your guides and many times end up keeping the sales reps in check. Her path is next level, and seeing this amongst us NOC geeks that usually shun anything with sales opens up the mind.

    I can remember back in 2015 when I worked desktop support for a Connecticut university. I was new to the field, but passionate for the job. The Director of IT Infrastructure, Jesse Lunt, really took me under his wing. He allowed me to help him in the data center, I was taught to punch down cables into patch panels, how to install APs in the school's ceilings, how to configure the switches, routers and firewalls. Even after he left the school and moved on, we remain friends to this very day. He put together a Zoom class to teach me and some other friends the ins and outs of Azure. I can never repay that man for his kindness and friendship.

      An SE, or Sales Engineer, works with an Account Manager to help sell technical solutions. Their pay is directly tied to a sales quota. A TME, or Technical Marketing Engineer, is usually an evangilist for the company. TMEs create content of various types, presentations, videos, podcasts, blog articles of their own, or they go on other platforms Like Tech Field Day to present and promote the product. Their pay is not directly tied to a sales quota.

    Long story but relative point. Some years ago a team and I built an electronics device for a doctoral candidate student at a nearby medical research hospital. While building the device we met with this doctoral candidate several times for check-ins and progress and what not. He always wanted to meet at abnormal times like 7 am or 3:30 pm "because he had to sleep." So after a few meetings we met him and asked about the strange sleep times. He explained to us that a neuroscientist explained to him that sleeping within 4 hours of learning helps retain information. This doctoral candidate started sleeping for 2 hours 3 times a day. He would sleep from about 4 am to 6 am then study and research for the morning. He would sleep from about noon to 2 pm then more study and research (we usually met in this afternoon window). Then sleep from 8 pm to about 10 pm and then study and precook meals and prep for the next day. I was blown away! He did explain some about REM cycles, but I don't entirely recall that explanation.Naturally, I asked about weekends. He does the same thing all week and has been doing it for over a year. More blown away! He said it was so effective that he convinced nearly a dozen other doctoral candidates to get with the program and he said they all loved it. Not sure how sustainable that is, but I was fascinated by the explanation. There are some smart people out there that believe sleep helps retain information so well they live like that for an extended period of time.
