About the Webinars and Speakers
Lori Meyer — The Editor as Collaborator: Communication Makes the Difference
Editing skills play an important role in quality technical communication. However, even the most skilled editors need to communicate professionally and effectively with writers. This session explores how effective communication with colleagues and clients helps editors enhance team communication, improve documentation, and provide writers with valuable insights to enhance their writing.
Lori is a technical communicator and curriculum developer in Northern California, where she develops and edits software documentation and training. Lori feels great excitement about the potential of social media and mobile technology to build on our work as technical communicators.
For some additional background about Lori, see her profile in the Carolina Communique, the STC Carolina Chapter newsletter: One Question Can Change Your Life.
Jamye Sagan — Lessons My Cat Taught Me About Instructional Design
Sometimes, technical communicators may be required to design training materials and programs for their subject matter–even if they have never formally studied instructional design. In this progression topic, the speaker will share photos and anecdotes of her beloved cat Gimli while discussing five lessons she has learned over the years about developing training courses and related materials.
Jamye manages communications between the corporate office and the store pharmacies. She also helps design training programs and reference materials for various pharmacy projects. When not “making sense out of the senseless” in the tech comm world, Jamye enjoys transforming yarn into pretty and useful objects and keeping her cats away from her yarn.

Intended Audience
All Audiences. The content will be introductory (e.g., > “101 level”)
About the Speakers:
Kit Brown-Hoekstra — Everything I Needed to Know about Leadership, I Learned from Star Trek
A light-hearted look at what makes a good leader. From Kirk to Janeway, the Star Trek captains explored new worlds, developed their teams, and survived life-threatening situations, sometimes with sheer luck, sometimes with wit and charm, and sometimes with a clear head. Even their flaws teach us.
Viqui Dill — You stink at email
Your emails are getting ignored for a reason: you stink at it. Most of us get hundreds of messages a day. Why would anybody ever want to read that wall of text under your boring subject line?
Jamye Sagan — A Loopy Yarn: Knitting and Technical Communication
Although knitting and technical communication seem like two disparate disciplines, they share several things in common–from knowing one’s audience to paying attention to finishing details. This presentation will highlight these commonalities, from project conception to the finished deliverable, and help you think about how your own favorite hobbies relate to technical communication.
Mellissa Ruryk — Chinglish/Engrish/Spangrish
We who grew up speaking English as a first language know how exasperating it can be with all the “rules” for spelling that seem to be ignored as many times as they are applied; homonyms; and the kind of trouble you can get into by missing out just one letter (think “pubic” instead if “public”). Consider and sympathize, then, with people who don’t grow up learning the twists and idiosyncrasies of this amalgam of thousands of years of British imperialism. Join us as Mellissa Ruryk shares some amusing samples of signs gone wrong around the world with Engrish, Chinglish, Spanglish and… Mangle-ish?
Robert Hershenow — What Do You Think?
What’s going on inside your head? A lot more than you might think! Our conscious thought processes are only part of what our brains are up to at any moment. Find out what else is happening when you are asleep or awake, when you’re happy or stressed, and how you can make the most of all that brain power.
