What is the Kanban Method?

cwong0102Leave a comment

Do you know what the kanban method is? I think everyone has seen some form of kanban (even the assembly line in fast food chains), but didn’t know there was an actual name for it or that the tech industry uses it too!

If you’re interested in tech, you must know what it is and how it is applied. Sometimes this can be used as a project management tool in consulting, features to develop in software engineering teams, and user stories on product teams. This honestly can be applied to many other aspects of life as well like pipelines!

I wanted to share another successful story! My YouTube channel has content for four pillars of content in technology consulting: what is tech consulting, how to get a job in tech consulting, how I got into Accenture, and how to do well on the job in tech consulting. The video content itself is left pretty vague but they are nuggets of advice I have done myself or know others have done and I think it is transferable to other firms and even areas of consulting! If you’re interested in learning about tech consulting, this IS the way for you! https://youtube.com/c/ChristineWong

What is a RAID log?

cwong0102Leave a comment

This is a project management tool a lot of my projects used and this was actually something I have never used prior to coming to Accenture. A lot of consulting projects (but not all) use RAID logs to keep all of the outstanding items left to do and mitigate. They actually come into play in a lot of steering committees as well when making decisions on what to do and how!

Have you used a RAID log before? How do you think this would help your future projects?

Work From Home Productivity and YouTube Content Creation Studio Desk Setup

cwong0102Leave a comment

As a full time technology consultant, part time Youtuber and podcaster, and a side hustle of career coaching and Technology Consulting Community, I needed a desk setup that would enable me for success and productivity. Especially if my job allows me to work from home!

To some, this may seem extra, but to me, it really isn’t. The key star in this video is my Dark Matter 49″ ultrawide monitor by Monoprice!

My Public Speaking Tips!

cwong0102Leave a comment

It may come as a shock to many people that I used to be the absolute worst in public speaking. Even presenting to ONE PERSON! From stuttering, no eye contact, reading off of a piece of paper, shaking voice, these are the main tips I ended up doing that really helped.

I still get nervous when talking to large groups of people (virtual less so), but really just being comfortable with being uncomfortable I think is my BIGGEST tip and it’s easier said that done, but forcing yourself to speak in front of big groups either volunteering to present or becoming a host for townhalls at work, speak at school events, or even starting a YouTube channel!

Let me know what other tips you had in public speaking! I do plan on making a video on this because as someone who is an introvert who spoke in broken English due to my Asian American background, I never imagined myself speaking at large events or in big townhalls and presentations at work. Maybe someone could relate!
