TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Well, aside from technical writing abilities, tech writing tools abilities,
and general technology know-how? I consider those to be staples.
Interpersonal communication
Persuasion and debate
Coaching and mentoring
Problem solving and analysis
Many more "soft skills"
I acquired them over time, part by formal education (communications degree),
part by observing others and noting cause/effect for the bad and good
outcomes, and part from personal experience.
