Whether you're a freelancer, at an agency or work for a large corporation, you constantly interact with clients. Some are amazing, others are diabolical. We'll cover common expectations, how to create a successful atmosphere and useful tricks for navigating political waters.

Alex gives excellent advice on the lists he frequents; I won't miss this opportunity to quiz him in person.

Thanks Susan! I plan to leave time for people to share their own tips and tricks, so hopefully we'll get a wide range of great ideas.

What a great idea. This is one of my questions for new developers interviewing at our shop ... it always happens. Hey ... sometimes that customer is me!

Exactly Christian! Clients can be internal or external, higher in the corporate food chain or parallel or brand new to the work force. This topic will bridge the gaps between the different types of clients and elevate good practices that apply to each one and clients in general.

Thanks for leaving a comment!
