Attended Notts Agile this month where we learned about building effective teams and healthy, safe development cultures. Tweet >
Quite a few references and ideas from this meetup around team culture:
- Atlassian Rules of Engagement
- Understand how to interact with others by understanding personality types: Speak First Animal Quiz (I'm mostly Owl).
- Understand your resilience

Health & fitness
Recently recovered from a knee injury which kept me off running for what felt like an age! I did discover road riding in the meantime - the road bike became my new favourite thing! Getting back on the running again now though! 🚀
Thinking about
- Being deliberate with how I spend time. Having systematically cutting out much 'low value' time sinks/media, there is much time available. I need to be deliberate with using it to foster meaningful relationships and towards fulfilling things!
- Writing more about my experience at work and ideas (learning, value, growth, future of our work on the web)
- Really challenging my belief that just because I love what I do, I don't need to allow space around it.
- Giving myself credit and valuing my unique skills; not comparing myself harshly with others
Thanks for taking an interest!
