Get Hands-On with Your Second Brain! (Workshop)
Stop overloading your brain with too much information and too many good intentions! Build a Second Brain to give your first brain a break.
Second Brain support systems like note taking apps (Evernote, Notion, and OneNote) can yield surprising gains so you can wield the information that matters most to achieve your highest personal goals.
In this hands-on workshop experience, you’ll build a personal Second Brain system you can use to propel you forward in new ways toward things you really care about. Explore structures you can use to manage key information about your personal network, learning paths, important personal projects, and more in a cohesive way with familiar tools.
Learn surprising ways to better capture, organize, and leverage the information vital to your success and make it actionable and relevant to your life.
Tribal Knowledge in Agile Teams
Let's face it. We don't communicate well, and we document even less.
Is it possible to wield information well in an Agile software team?
Yes, it is!
With consideration, change, and commitment to doing your work differently, it is possible to have relevant and vibrant knowledge resources in an Agile environment.
Instead of being told, "You're doing it wrong," teams can move to a new model that builds on empathy and excellence.
Better on-boarding means more confident teammates, a more inclusive workflow, and a focus on continuous improvement.
No matter what methodology you use, you'll gain practical techniques to improve your team's handling of know-how and achieve better collaboration.
Level Up Your Career with a Knowledge Playbook

Need ideas of where to start? You’re in luck! We’ll look at examples of what a solid knowledge playbook contains and how it can be leveraged to move forward in your career journey.
Confessions of a TDD Late Adopter
After two decades of rehashing Test Driven Development techniques, what’s left to say?
A lot! Hear from a seasoned software developer and consultant about the journey to TDD adoption despite objections, skepticism, insecurity, and procrastination along the way. Old dogs can learn new tricks!
This talk examines thoughts like, “TDD is too hard! TDD is for elitists and snobs! Isn’t TDD too dogmatic? Doesn’t TDD take too long? Won’t my code be harder to change?”
Take it from someone who has been in the trenches WITH and WITHOUT systematic testing techniques. Learn from who didn’t drink the Kool-Aid right way.
This is not your run-of-the-mill TDD talk! With surprising illustrations from parenting (Toddler-Driven Development?!), business self-help, and scientific learning techniques, attendees will leave with practical advice on how to approach the learning curve that TDD requires.
