Keller Schroeder was honored to sponsor the Nashville Software Crafters’ inaugural event of its speaker series on February 6, 2020. The sold-out event featured world-renowned author and speaker Robert C. Martin (a.k.a. “Uncle Bob”) – one of the founders of “The Agile Manifesto” in 2001, creator of several software principles and patterns, and author of best-selling books such as “Clean Code” and Clean Architecture.”
Uncle Bob spoke of the importance of quality, integrity, candor, and professionalism to more than 200 software professionals in attendance. His 50 years of industry experience, contagious sense of humor, and passion for his craft resonated with everyone in the room. You can learn more about Uncle Bob at https://cleancoders.com/ or purchase his books on Amazon.
Jill Epperson and Cathy Graper joined Connor Bailey and Rob Wilson from our Nashville office to represent our Keller Schroeder’s Application Solutions Group at the event. Thank you to the organizers for putting together a fantastic event, and thanks to all the kind folks who visited with us at our table.
Trust is an interesting thing. We often think of it as something we must earn, when in fact it is something one must choose to give in advance. That’s why we don’t take trust for granted. It is the hardest thing for you to let go of. It is said that people do business with those they know, like, and trust. We can help you know us by making you more aware of who we are and what we do. We can help you like us by being likable. And, of course, we can influence your trust proving ourselves trustworthy. But it isn’t enough just to share how others trusted us and how we delivered for them, or even to tell you of the times we messed up and how we made it right. In fact, our trustworthiness is not something we can prove to you personally at all until first you give us your trust. Once you give it, the onus is on us to prove you right.
