Perspective for the day...

[Hannah Wilks @newballsplease]

Sure, when opossums do it it's a miracle of nature but when I do it it's 'not a healthy way to deal with anxiety'.

[Matt Lewis @LewisMinn]

How well can you answer these essential questions?
1. What are my strengths?
2. How do I perform?
3. What are my values?
4. Where do I belong?
5. What should my contribution be?
Timeless food for thought from Peter Drucker.

If you live near the twin cities you’ll love this quote I heard today “it’s like the sky is constipated, just rain already”

I was recently interviewed for a Case Study with @github and @ZenHubHQ about how #collaboration and #transparent workflows helped align and focus teams at @CHRobinsonInc. Check it out! https://t.co/2XKathMqMw

The evolution of self-esteem in a career:

Phase 1: I’m not important
Phase 2: I’m important
Phase 3: I want to work on something important

The sooner you get to phase 3, the more success you achieve and the more impact you have.

[Monique Valcour, PhD PCC @moniquevalcour]

Halfway through 2018 is a good point to pause, take stock, and refocus:
-What have you accomplished that you're proud of?
-How have you grown?
-What's a step you can take to bring your life into closer alignment with your values?

[Jonathan Smart @jonsmart]

The irony.
“The Project Management Institute’s most recent report found that 100 percent of “champion” companies, those delivering projects on time and on budget on a regular basis, had embraced agile methodologies.”

The software industry has become obsessed by speed and time to market. I believe this amplifies a fear of failure, as it is no longer acceptable to slow down. Slowing down helps us increase our sense of #safety

A good ScrumMaster ensures team members share their status efficiently with one another in the daily scrum.

A great #ScrumMaster ensures the daily scrum is an energising event that teams look forward to.
