Awake and talking...after lunch! Autonomy = a neural reward. And as conferred via #LeanCoffee, agency is a stimulant far more powerful (and certainly more sustainable!) than caffeine. #kanban #personalkanban #LAVM
Replying to @URISAVC
I just heard, "The perfect after lunch session" 100% never have I seen so many awake and talking people in a session immediately following lunch. #GISPro2022

When we hear "beneficial constraint" we often think in terms of promoting process flow. What I love about this #Collaborwocky interview w/ @denderello is how - thru visualizing work in an #obeya, he promotes *psychological flow* which, in turn, begets process flow. #lean #agile

Visualizations, Obeya, Meetings are all a system. They must be thoughtfully applied with outcomes and people gathered in mind. Dennis Benkert takes several tools & mixes them together to get his teams to plan and problem solve effectively. Collaborwocky 12 loom.ly/6f8VVk0

Today I bonded w/a client over our mutual love of the Godfather, a partner org over a shared fascination w/michelada mix, and a student over why I need a Big Green Egg. "Professionalism" isn't reserving your humanity for COB. It's making a place for it during the workday. #LAVM

Given the topic *was* psychological safety, I suppose it wouldn't be cool if we just blamed it all on @ModusDave, eh? 😇 In all seriousness, our sincerest apologies to all who registered and were kept waiting. We promise to make up for it next week.

When you schedule a webinar with a ton of people and your webinar provider decides not to launch your webinar and instead you spend the morning mitigating.

Blame our brains, it’s our default. In an effort to conserve cognitive energy we’re wired to detect patterns to anticipate what (we think) comes next. #ActiveListening - listening to comprehend rather than to respond - requires effort. #LAVM #HumaneMgmt
