Showing Up

Whether it’s being a Coach, being a Manager, being a Team Lead, a Tech Lead, the Project Coordinator, the Customer Advocate – pick your role where you are responsible for the delivery of a group of individuals the first step is always the same.

The Last Minute Adventure

It used to be that you if you wanted to go see the latest release of a particular movie you would have to wait in line.

The Tractor vs Cadillac Delivery Trap

If you’re a developer, you’ve heard about the argument of delivering the Tractor vs the Cadillac. If not, here it is in condensed form. Tractor – rock solid, gets you from A to B with little fanfare, doesn’t look great, does the job, never falls over, stable as a rock. Cadillac – it looks really pretty, it’ll give you the smoothest ride from A to B (when it works), it has all the bells and whistles (but doesn’t always work). So the question becomes when debating the delivery of a new feature is whether you want it to be solid
