@caitlintay_ @BreneBrown @ElaineSchwartz_ She is my hero and that podcast has saved my sanity!!! I recommend it to everyone.

@andydevale Oh goodness 😳! That is not quite what I meant to say. Executives aren’t assholes, they’re people and doing the best they can. The courage comes from leaning into empathy for everyone no matter what. Us vs. them thinking dehumanizes people and that’s where we lose our way.

@AgileCoachMDW @RonJeffries @Medium @hannathomas They shouldn’t be but in a traditional hierarchical culture those traits and behaviors are very often not rewarded. If we’re being honest hierarchical companies tend to lean masculine. That said we are all evolving and this is a good conversation for us to be having.

@MrTomYoull @jimrali At the moment it’s looking better than the one we got. At least y’all seem to be able to get rid of your 🤡

Even when you believe you have no artistic talent – this is where you learn the basic visual vocabulary and ingredients for visualization with the bikablo® technique. For example, drawing simple flip chart templates that you can use in your work the next day!

If you’ve been following #AgileScotland, you’ll have seen the amazing sketch artistry skills of @andydevale from @workvisible

You too can learn how to draw like Andy! There are only a handful of tickets remaining for the Sept course:

@danidonovan Sometimes our impulsiveness pays off. It looks beautiful.

RETWEET If anybody at your workplace ever told you you were too intimidating, too outspoken, too bold or insufficiently deferential to higher-level people

@MeganReitz1 @helenbevan @maaretp @HRZone @johnhigginsw6 The tragedy is those leaders are hurting themselves with this blind spot. Innovation comes from unexpected places and will stay hidden if leaders only “open doors”. Instead they should actively encourages robust debate and engagement by those least likely to walk through a door.

@MrTomYoull @UnReDesign @LockhartL Absolutely 😊

@ErynnBrook This is really sad especially since the whole hymen thing is a myth. Just like penises and vaginas they come in lots of different shapes and sizes. It isn’t an “unseal to lose my virginity” safety cap and can easily be torn or altered by just living life. https://t.co/H3MDrT8UPm

@MrTomYoull @UnReDesign Looks like it runs through January so I might even be able to bring my family since we’re planning on spending Christmas in Scotland.

[Micaela Eller @agilezenmistres]

@MrTomYoull @UnReDesign Thanks for sharing. I’m actually heading home today but I’m fairly certain I’ll be back in October.

[Micaela Eller @agilezenmistres]

@andydevale If you think of design as a way to architect decision making then the easy answer is ‘yes’. The real question is if we are intentional about it or not. The more collaborative and intentional we are the more consistently we will have the outcomes we want.

@James_Reid @AgileScotland @MaighreadS I’m so sad I missed this one. I really love learning from my fellow #Agilists Guess this means I’ll just have to come back, darn 😏 😉😎.

[Jennifer Robertson @Jens2Jen]

Brilliant session, thank you to the great workshop participants for all your energy and feedback #AgileScotland #ServiceDesign

This smells of misogyny and laziness. Women can only be defined by their roles in relation to men and anything outside that construct doesn’t compute. @Reuters Journalists and editors have to do better. It took less than two seconds to look up her CV on IMDB.

[Techni-Calli @Iwillleavenow]

Reuters: "Kirsten Dunst, best known as Spiderman's girlfriend..."

Me, remembering Bring It On, Little Women, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Marie Antoinette, Jumanji, Mona Lisa Smile, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fargo, Interview with a Vampire, etc.: "Best known as what now?"
