Earlier this year I worked with the Thrive for Developers site to post a 32 part series called “Driving Your Career”. This series covered different skills you need to further your career. We covered skills like problem solving, critical thinking, and body language.
I have made the screen casts and audio MP3’s available on my skydrive for people to download.
Geoff Mazeroff performed a Herculean task by transcribing all of the episodes as well. Those are zipped up and stored in the folder. Thanks Geoff!
Download the Screen casts, MP3s, and transcripts from my SkyDrive.
Here is the episode index. The links go to the Thrive site.

Brian will tackle relevant topics including quick learning techniques, how to manage your career, how to build consensus, and the always-tricky task of talking to humans.
