Beyond Burnout: Soft Skills That Drive Productivity and Psychological Safety in Tech
In high-pressure tech environments, where constant change and rapid problem-solving are the norm, technical expertise alone is not enough. The most successful teams are those that cultivate psychological safety, foster open communication, and embrace soft skills that enhance collaboration and productivity.
This talk explores the essential human factors that drive high-performance teams, including:
• Building a culture of trust and psychological safety to encourage innovation and reduce burnout.
• Effective communication strategies for remote and hybrid teams.
• Conflict resolution and feedback techniques that strengthen collaboration.
• Adaptive leadership skills that empower teams in times of uncertainty.
By integrating these soft skills into daily workflows, tech professionals can create resilient, high-performing teams that thrive in fast-paced environments. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to improve team dynamics, boost productivity, and create a workplace where both people and technology succeed.
Geshido - The subtle art of getting stuff done.
Agile has been in the mainstream for 20+ years and yet most people and organisations are still struggling to see/feel the real benefits. The promise of Agile and Agility is well understood yet most teams and organisations regress once coaching and consulting efforts have ceased. The questions I set out to answer are 1) Why aren’t the benefits coming through; and 2) How can I change this. Geshido is the combination of experience, observations and theory that are all aimed at making things better and simpler for teams and organisations.
In this session, I will explain the virtues, concepts and practices that form the Geshido approach too enterprise agility and agile teams.
Geshido was founded on a simple idea: How do we get back to the basics of delivering high quality products that benefit our customers and our organisation. This should be the heart and soul of every organisation that wants to remain competitive into the future.
Geshido practitioners want to get back to basics; the basics of delivering beneficial products. Geshido practitioners want to focus on the practices, techniques and tools that improve delivery for teams and increase delight for customers.
The session will cover the 4 virtues that form the foundation of Geshido. The 4 virtues are then unpacked to techniques and practices that are recommended to practitioners. The techniques and practices are further tied together via the Geshido assessment matrix which highlights areas for immediate improvement.
Devops = Culture + Ownership + Empowerment
The three spheres of a DevOps adoption being Culture, Processes and Tools are fundamental to any organisation. The focus on tools often supersedes any work being done at the process levels and almost always, the culture aspect is 'ignored'. Through my years of helping teams adopt agile and eventually pursue DevOps, I've identified certain patterns that address the varying levels of change that are needed by a team pursuing Agile Ways of Work.
In this talk, I'll highlight the most important patterns that are needed along with suggestions to help embed these patterns. We'll utilise Value Stream Mapping, A4 Problem Solving and Team Skill Coaching as patterns for helping a team adopt DevOps thinking. I will be using the DevOps radar (from SAFe) as a guidepost for patterns to get an organisation moving towards the promised land.
Whilst there isn't an 'endpoint' for a DevOps adoption, these patterns reflect milestones on a DevOps transformation roadmap and serve as a possible ‘quick start’.
NOTE: This is not. A SAFe pitch or SAFe sales workshop. The DevOps radar can be used, regardless of the presence of SAFe.
