Thinking a bit about job searching in general terms: A lot of advice out there tells you to figure out how you’re different from all the other candidates. That seems to me to be a close-to-impossible task. How can you know everyone else’s “profiles”? It’s a bit like trying to “prove a negative”. You can certainly figure out what you care about, what you’re passionate about, what you’ve learned, studied in-depth, been exposed to – but to have to figure out how exactly you’re different from everyone else…?

I think my New Year’s resolution is 1920 x 1080. Same as last year… Even if, according to https://lnkd.in/gGR4bqx, the term is actually a misnomer. What I should be saying is that my New Year’s resolution is 85 ppi or thereabouts. I’ll show myself out, thank you.

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
