getNext-IT talks on agile and DevOps conferences

What holds women back from shar­ing their sto­ries or step­ping con­fi­dent­ly into the spot­light? In this episode of Just Be Bet­ter, Vicky and Sabine Woj­cieszak delve into the chal­lenges women face in pub­lic speak­ing, lead­er­ship, and career growth. Sabine shares her inspir­ing jour­ney from bank­ing to tech, tack­ling self-doubt and find­ing her voice as a coach, speak­er, and advo­cate for communication.

Sabine shares how to give pre­sen­ta­tions peo­ple will remem­ber. How to lever­age sto­ry­telling, stay authen­tic and cre­ate your con­tent in a goal-ori­ent­ed way.

On top of that we dis­cuss the impor­tance of per­son­al brand­ing and being more vis­i­ble. Both for employ­ees and organisations.

If you want to use rit­u­als as a pow­er­ful tool, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, you need to under­stand that a rit­u­al is nei­ther a rou­tine nor a habit. This pre­sen­ta­tion will explain the dif­fer­ence and why rit­u­als are good for fos­ter­ing habits. Sec­ond, you need to learn that rit­u­als are only pow­er­ful when they have mean­ing for peo­ple. You can’t “buy” rit­u­als off the shelf; you have to devel­op them your­self or tai­lor pop­u­lar rit­u­als to your own needs.

This talk will high­light that DevOps is not for free – but the invest­ment is not only mon­ey. It will also give some insights into where inad­e­quate orga­ni­za­tion­al struc­tures have been harm­ful to the suc­cess of the DevOps approach. You will learn how the wrong goals for apply­ing DevOps will lead to fatal deci­sions. You will also get an overview of help­ful con­sid­er­a­tions when you want to become DevOps.

When­ev­er peo­ple should do things togeth­er, con­flict is always very close by, espe­cial­ly when the orig­i­nal work they have to do aims at dif­fer­ent goals. But what are healthy con­flicts and when do they become unhealthy? And why is it impor­tant that lead­ers as well as team mem­bers address the ele­phant in the room called arti­fi­cial har­mo­ny? In this talk the ben­e­fits of embrac­ing healthy con­flicts in order to cre­ate a sus­tain­able, pro­duc­tive har­mo­ny across the team will be highlighted.

“A fairy tale about habits or what we can learn from Cin­derel­la and her peers in DevOps” is a “made to stick” talk by Sabine Woj­cieszak about the impact — pos­i­tive as well as neg­a­tive — of habits in the DevOps world o the suc­cess of teams.

DevOpsDays Tel Aviv

Sabine Wojcieszak

Break­fast is the meal where you pre­pare your­self for the day – for doing some­thing great. In DevOps con­tin­u­ous improve­ment is an impor­tant goal for every­one involved. But what if the orga­ni­za­tion­al cul­ture is the way that improve­ment will be eat­en before you can pre­pare for it?

DevOpsDays Edinburgh

Sabine Wojcieszak

Tak­ing a look at the “grave­yard” of DevOps where all unsuc­cess­ful attempts to adopt this mod­ern appo­rach are buried, we will dis­cov­er that all of them have also sto­ries to tell. These are sto­ries about why they failed – sto­ries we all could learn from. We will dis­cov­er that a lot of sto­ries will be about bad habits and behav­ior, about ego and the fear of los­ing pow­er, about good ideas with bad approach­es – about us, the humans!

“Nowa­days many peo­ple in tech say that com­mu­ni­ca­tion is real­ly impor­tant! But when ask­ing what you have done to improve team com­mu­ni­ca­tion the most fre­quent answer is: “Noth­ing. But we will do when we have more time!” Anoth­er often heard answer is: “We have installed ´Slack‘!” But ´Slack‘ as well as oth­er apps are just tools for com­mu­ni­ca­tion not the com­mu­ni­ca­tion itself! So why is com­mon sense not already com­mon practice?

DEVOPS REX Paris

Sabine Wojcieszak

DevOps is a mind­set, which requires a lot of “soft skills” of all stake­hold­ers in thissys­tem! And these skills are impor­tant for the suc­cess or the fail­ure of the exper­i­ment “DevOps”! In this talk we will focus on the role of com­mu­ni­ca­tion for a DevOps team, although we will also touch psy­cho­log­i­cal aspects of mind­set, atti­tude and behav­ior! When­ev­er peo­ple come togeth­er, com­mu­ni­ca­tions starts at once!
