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.

    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.

    "It's easier to just go with the status quo"

    Learned helplessness can be a pervasive parasite in your organisation, creating a persistent barrier to change and a dangerous edge to disengaged individuals.
