I work in a highly technical field and I have trouble deploying technical language at the point of its necessity. This is because my ethos is about making things simple, in plain language, for non-technical stakeholders to understand. And it works with theme, it doesn’t take long for them to understand something when I used analogies etc.

Also, comprehension is not the issue, I can understand what I read and simplify it.

Just… How do I get better at actually USING that language?

Just keep doing what you are doing because all technical leaders are good at explaining tech issues in simple language which makes them favorite of CFO, controllers, etc

Don’t try to be the techie nerd (language wise), I am one of them and You have enough of us

I recently left a company because I didn’t see eye to eye with management about recruitment. The company I worked for regularly touts its commitment to D&I but in the recruitment process my candidates were routinely exited for having natural hair, being too old, too “urban”, etc. I’m not looking to bitterly blow up their spot but I feel like someone needs to be aware of this. This was done at the higher levels of local leadership and I have no connection with anyone in corporate. What to do?
