Agile in my family
In order to find my edge, I felt that as a software developer, I need to learn more than just technical things. I happened to work in a company that had an agile coach, and thought this 'Agile principles' could become my leading edge. I would like to have hands-on experience and although there are opportunities to apply it at work, I found that the principles could well be widely used. I started to share them with my extended families (in which at times was being looked at weirdly), and at times I'm just implementing it without them knowing. This talk was just sharing a little bit of my story from resolving 'family argument', 'career retrospective', and 'bridging communication issues' with a gist of agile.

keyboard_arrow_downDoris Tse - How to help leaders find their edge through vulnerability
40 Mins
Presentation
Intermediate
We often expect our leaders to be imbued with superpowers, effortlessly balancing the needs of the many against their own convictions and values. A leader's ability to navigate these scenarios can lead to their success or downfall. As such we don't often provide the space for leaders to admit failure or uncertainty.
"Contrary to equating vulnerability to weakness, exhibiting vulnerability offers the possibility of inspiring people and connecting on a deeper level" - Hanson
Join us in this session as we explore the concept of vulnerability in leaders and its impact on the ecosystem. We will share real life stories and tips we've learnt along the way in coaching leaders on transparency and vulnerability.

Peter Lee - Explaining Agile to the Board
40 Mins
Presentation
Intermediate
Boral is on a rapid Agile transformation and one of the challenges is to provide senior executives and the board of directors an understanding what agile really means for the company.
In the end its not about Scrum or Kanban, or any other framework for that matter.
They really just want to know what outcomes will it drive for the company.
We will explore the 9 factors that I've used to paint a picture of what an organisation would feel like if it truly became an agile organisation.

Doris Tse - The edge of disengagement

"That's just how it's always been"
"Don't bother asking, nothing changes around here"
"It's easier to just go with the status quo"
Ever heard these terms being spoken amongst your teams? Your peers? Fellow coaches?
Learned helplessness can be a pervasive parasite in your organisation, creating a persistent barrier to change and a dangerous edge to disengaged individuals.
Join us in this talk as we share practical take away's to spot learned helplessness and the tips to stop the infection spreading.

Find Your Edge
Welcome! We are super excited to hear from you.
- The theme this year is Find Your Edge. We want you to talk about what is currently challenging you or the thing that gives you an advantage in your field. What is the theory, practice or concept that you are struggling with but that also excites you. It's not just about answers, it's about questions.
- Pitch us your ideas! Talks, hands-on sessions, workshops. This year we have also added 5 min lighting talks and 20 min TED style talks. There are lots of options, just make sure you let us know what kind of room layout would work best and any special requirements you have.
- Be as detailed as possible in your submission, as this will help you to refine your idea in your own mind, help the content curation team select your session, and enable people who are coming to LAST Sydney to decide that they want to come and participate in your session/s.
- Don't forget, you can edit your session and adjust the idea in the coming weeks, so don't think that you've only got one chance. You can also submit multiple ideas and proposals.
- The LAST Sydney committee is here to help. If you would like to have some coaching or shaping of your idea just let us know.
- LAST Sydney looks forward to finding your edge with you!
Out of town submitters
As we are focused on the local community, we don’t expect people to travel from interstate or overseas to participate, although you are welcome if you choose to come. LAST Sydney is an event with low registration prices, so we need to keep overheads low. Therefore, we generally do not reimburse travel and accommodation or pay a fee to session leaders/speakers.
Registration
Paid registration for LAST Sydney opens on Monday 6th May. As we always sell out, and as successful submitters won't be notified until early July, it could be wise of you to grab a registration. If you are accepted onto the schedule, you can request a refund.
Who needs a nudge?
We would love to know who else you know who has a great idea but needs a nudge. LAST welcomes first time and experienced speakers. Let us know, and we'd be happy to reach out.
We look forward to hearing from you!
