As an Offensive Security Consultant, I often joke that my job is 90% troubleshooting and 10% breaking things. Truthfully, developing the skill and methodology for finding the right information, tools, or techniques and implementing them when things get borked is at the heart of hacking. Similarly, that same skill if applied to our attitude, health, relationships, and career can make the difference between a steady pace and quickly flaming out in life.

This talk is aimed at folks who are currently employed in Cybersecurity, those looking to transition in, and those who are ready to transition out - basically anyone! We'll talk about what troubleshooting is, and how developing an effective strategy in troubleshooting technical things can apply to the non-technical aspects of life with some real-world examples, audience participation, and some practical tips to ground this concept into everyday life.
