I so appreciate the self-awareness of this book, and the way these last six pages are framed. It is difficult to integrate the wealth of ideas that are in this book. I can almost feel my grey cells struggling to create and reinforce new connections. #AgileTransformation by Michele Madore, Author, ICE-EC and Michael Spayd.

My copy of “Agile Transformation” by Michael Spayd and Michele Madore, Author, ICE-EC arrived yesterday (yay!), and I’m about halfway through. What a great read! One thing I am glad about is that I’ve had the chance to read a few of the authors that make a prominent appearance: Kegan (/Lahey) – Immunity to Change, Laloux – Reinventing Organizations, Adams/Anderson – Mastering Leadership / Scaling Leadership. That gave me a lot of context for some terms that show up relatively bare and suddenly, and get expanded on later. I suspect this might be a test of the reader’s capability to “sit with” not knowing. #AgileTransformation #CollectiveEdge #Trans4mation

“[…] Socrates demonstrated long ago, that the truly free individual is free only to the extent of his [sic] own self-mastery. While those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them.” – Steven Pressfield in “The War of Art”, a book on winning your inner creative battles. (I don’t want this quote to be taken as a position on “tribe vs. individual”. We know that we need both to thrive. There is an interdependent pair there.)

Make 2021 more than a year of hoping that things will get better. Set yourself an intention. Want some folks who are like-hearted to help with that? Join Michaele Gardner and Brian Hackerson for a workshop based on Agile Best Self principles that gets you started. Having taken their Agile Best Self North Star workshop, I know this is going to be a good one. https://lnkd.in/gdtQceT

You know what I wish? That I had a mind for throwing quotes into LinkedIn that stop people in their tracks and make them think. Unfortunately, however, I don’t care quite enough to memorize anything. That’s how wishes work, I think.

One of the benefits of knowing how to write software is that I can create tools for myself that help me in my current work. Having not really found a great “timer” for use with OBS (Open Broadcast Studio), I decided to make my own app. If you’re using something like OBS in your work, and you’re using Windows 10 (sorry Mac people), I’d be happy to send you a copy of this little thing. #onlinetraining #agile #coaching #facilitating

With the Thanksgiving holiday happening this week in the U.S., it seems like a good time to post this. I will be tagging people – not to draw accolades, but to alert them to my gratitude for their companionship, near and far.
