Complex codes and problems don\u2019t stand a chance. Your analytical brain IS what makes you stand out. You\u2019d rather sit in your office or cube than do anything relational. Company get-togethers call for a sick day. You\u2019re super smart but you don\u2019t want to take the time to explain anything to anyone. You have a hard time explaining things. You can learn more about Bob-Spock in episode 13. In this episode, we talk with James Ward, who is representing the Bob-Spocks of the workplace. James has spent the last 20 years working as a software developer and technical evangelist for leading technology firms like Google, Salesforce, and Adobe. He is a sought-after global speaker and presenter, being on stage with people like Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff. When he\u2019s not tinkering with technology, he can be found building and launching homemade rockets with his kids or out for a run through the Colorado mountains with his wife. As a Bob-Spock, you\u2019ll walk away from this interview with James equipped to make an impression, demonstrate your worth, and expand your influence, and enjoy your job.
