Communcating technical content can be challenging. That’s where SOPPADA can help. It’s a little known framework that was developed by Frank Hardesty in the 1980’s.
1. Subject
2. Objective
3. Purpose
4. Proposal
5. Advantages
6. Disadvantages
7. Action
Keep your pitch to under 500 words for the most impact.
For shorter messages, Hardesty used SPRA:
1. Situation
2. Proposal
3. Reason
4. Action
Thinking in frameworks helps you communicate more confidently and effectively. :) #empathyintech

Casual conversations are my favorite. We started a new virtual meetup on the #empathyintech Discord server and it was such a delight to connect with people today who are working to make the tech scene more compassionate. ❤️
