The Imposter Test: http://paulineroseclance.com/pdf/IPscoringtest.pdf
“When people praise me for something I’ve accomplished,
I’m afraid I won’t be able to live up to their expectations of me in
the future”
“I’m afraid people important to me may find out that I’m not as
capable as they think I am”
“I rarely do a project or task as well as I’d like to do it”
“I often compare my ability to those around me and think they
may be more intelligent than I am”

The goal is to think of ways to engage target audiences and those within one's niche who may be interested in linking to helpful content.

Ignite Wilmington #4

Purple Stripe Productions

The document discusses why someone's mother may be on Facebook and want to friend their ex. It notes that goals on social media are often nothing useful and focus on consuming content for entertainment rather than productivity. Tactics can include posting affiliate links or comments to drive traffic without contributing valuable information. The document also examines collaboration, connections, and how increasing unrelated social connections on platforms like Facebook may not correlate with increased productivity.

Futurecasting for Kansas Association for the Gifted, Talented, & Creative

Angela Housand

Digital Citizenship through Self-Awareness FutureCasting™ is a curriculum of “life skills” that enables individuals of all ages to take control of their digital identity and personal reputation, identify the value systems that influence choices, define personal and professional goals, and build influence in a global society. The goals of FutureCasting™ are to: 1. Increase individuals’ self-awareness, engagement in learning, and achievement 2. Enable individuals to develop globally recognized digital identities 3. Prepare individuals to contribute positively to local, national, and global communities. The FutureCasting™ framework provide the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to create a digitally responsible and influential online identity while serving numerous educational goals. For example, Millennials (individuals aged 10-25), have never known a life without computers and access to the Internet. However, just because Millennials are “digital natives” does not mean they know how to use technology responsibly or effectively leverage the ubiquitous information available online. FutureCasting™ enables them to learn the skills of digital citizenship: Being responsible producers and critical consumers of information on the Internet. Skills like conducting research online, developing a professional network, and creating a website are combined with critical self-examination to help users attain truly integrated success. FutureCasting™ has the potential to benefit anyone who wants to increase their online presence, align their digital footprint with personal and professional goals, or learn the skills of socially responsible action. Students, ages 12-25, can use FutureCasting™ to create a digital portfolio that reflects the intersection of personal interests with academic productivity. Meanwhile adults entering the workforce can use FutureCasting™ to develop an online presence that highlights their unique talents; making their successes more accessible to future employers and putting them ahead of their competition. In an era when information and opportunities are driven by access to information on the Internet, a tool like FutureCasting™ is what empowers people to leverage that information to catapult themselves into a future of their own design.

SHCR II Module 5 Moving beyond the edge

NHS Improving Quality

Module 5 Moving beyond the edge These are the slides for Module 5 of The School for Health and Care Radicals, a five week virtual programme, designed to equip people across the health and care system with the core skills to improve their skills as change agents. Change always starts at the edge and always starts with the activists. This module looks at ways we can move towards the edge and towards sustainable change. Agenda: • Review of what we have learnt so far; characteristics of a transformational change agent – Peter Fuda’s Transformation Change Agent framework – ‘Being’ a health and care radical – going back to ‘change starts with me’ – ‘Seeing’ as a health and care radical – ‘Doing’ as a health and care radical – Quick review of some models and theories • 'From’ the edge – views about emerging directions for change and change agents – What do we mean when we say 'from the edge?' – What is happening with change? – What is the difference between tacit and explicit knowledge? – Opportunities for health and care radicals – being bridge-builders and curators • Reflections and key messages about The School – Some things we have learned from delivering The School • What next for The School? – Gaining a certificate as a health and care change agent and claiming continuing professional development (CPD) points • Questions and call to action Questions for reflection: • How can I move in the direction of change in ways that will help me bring about the changes I want to see? • How will I build on my experiences of the School for Health and Care Radicals? • How will I build networks and communities in support of the changes I want to see? Call to action: • Consider why it would be beneficial for you to be a certified change agent. • Identify people who might help you with this process. • Take action and, if your change action is something that could be shared for Change Day, please add it on www.changeday.nhs.uk • Complete the follow-up work for certification.

Velocity 2014 - From Hero to Zero

Jennifer Davis

Incremental change and release often is the new mantra. A team of one may handle the operability implementation for an application. Work arounds are done to get things out the door “on time” to meet the agile requirements. This person is in the center of changes ensuring that monitoring, configuration, and service expectations are coordinated. As the velocity of change increases, this single point of failure leads to slow downs. The operations engineer is viewed as the “hero” due to working late nights or weekends to keep the service running as needed. This false hero role is not sustainable and creates a rigid environment of change aversion. In this talk, Jennifer will describe paths to supporting complex project deployment and configuration from manual heroics to minimal intervention. She will describe tools but the concepts will be applicable regardless of environment. This is not a one size fit all solution but guidelines presented should help shape direction towards success. Topics Covered: Where are we? Defining the job of Operations Identifying achievable goals Choosing tools Measuring for success The key takeaway from this talk will be to help practitioners see how to create a plan towards building a more reliable, consistent, and high-quality service.

VSL MSHQ 2022 - Supercharged Feedback Techniques in 20 minutes - Dugan.pdf

Angela Dugan

Feedback helps us to build stronger teams, supports more effective problem-solving and collaboration, and ultimately contributes to happier people delivering better products. Without effective feedback, we can spend time focusing on the wrong things, solving the wrong problems, maybe not even knowing about problems in the first place! In my experience, people are generally not confident in their feedback skills. This makes feedback feel risky, vulnerable, scary, even downright anxiety-inducing and so then they give no feedback at all. Feedback Doesn't Have to Suck. In this fast-paced 20 minute session focused on supercharging your feedback skills, I will help you get a good foothold on where to start. We’ll warm up with an overview of what feedback is, attributes of high-quality feedback, and some “tips and tricks” to getting comfortable with giving and receiving candid feedback that has worked really well for me both as a manager and a team member. You’ll be a feedback champion before you know it!

VS Liv MSHQ 2022 - Measuring Up! How To Choose Agile Metrics - Dugan.pdf

Angela Dugan

How many times have you been asked to deliver on metrics that did not make sense to you, that felt counterproductive to your or the team's effectiveness, or that were seemingly impossible to collect in a sane fashion? Oftentimes, I find that metrics being collected are ones that are easy to collect and report on but are not necessarily the ones that will help the team learn and improve. When it comes to software delivery, lean and agile practices and methodologies have taken the lead. Metrics have lagged a bit and often rely on very waterfall-style milestones and phase-gates to determine a team's effectiveness. In the spirit of continuous improvement, this session will take a look at the measures we can and should collect from agile teams, why these metrics are relevant and interesting, and how we can use them to help our teams continuously improve.

Adaptability Quotient - DevUp 2022.pdf

Angela Dugan

This document discusses increasing adaptability through developing three skills: change awareness, cognitive flexibility, and focused attention. It defines adaptability quotient (AQ) as the capacity to adapt to and thrive in changing environments. The document provides strategies for strengthening each skill, such as asking probing questions to improve change awareness, thinking differently to boost cognitive flexibility, and focusing on new situations to enhance attention. It encourages scanning the environment for unknowns, loosening constraints, and returning to zero to view things differently. The document was written by Sara Caldwell and Angela Dugan of 3Cloud Solutions and promotes their consulting services and resources including an AQ assessment test.

Feedback helps us to build stronger teams, supports more effective problem-solve and collaboration, and ultimately contributes to delivering better products. Without it, we can spend time focusing on the wrong things, solving the wrong problems, maybe not even knowing about problems in the first place! So if feedback is critical to us growing and thriving, why aren't we all excitedly showering each other with feedback all the time, and BEGGING others to give it to us? In my experience, people are generally not enthusiastic or confident in their ability to give feedback. Feedback usually isn't happening because feedback feels risky, vulnerable, scary, even downright anxiety-inducing. As a manager, leader, and coach of many teams over the last 20+ years, I can help you get a good foothold on where to start. Even better, I can tell you where the bodies are buried so you avoid some of the mistakes I've experienced over the years too. In this session, we'll warm up with an overview of what feedback is and is not. We'll also review the qualities of high-quality feedback, as well as the other kinds of feedback so you know the difference. We'll finish off with a quick summary of some "tips and tricks" to getting comfortable with giving and receiving candid feedback that has worked really well for me. You'll be a feedback champion before you know it!

Those metrics may not be telling you what you think they are! In this fast-paced discussion, we'll talk about some of the pitfalls of commonly used metrics, and make the case for not so commonly used measures that give you the insights that you're really striving for. You will learn: Understand the connection between what you measure, your team performance, and product quality Explanation of how many commonly used metrics will fail to tell you what you really need to know Familiarity with uncommonly used metrics that will more reliably tell you how well your project or team are really doing

THAT Conference 2021 - Level up your Feedback Game

Angela Dugan

Feedback makes the world go around, and let’s be honest, many of us feel pretty unskilled at feedback - both at giving and receiving. As technologists, we thrive on experimenting, learning, and adjusting, which we cannot do without the input and perspectives of others around us. So if feedback is critical to us growing and thriving, if feedback is truly a “gift”, what’s the deal? Why isn’t everyone wholeheartedly and excitedly showering each other with feedback all the time? In my experience, feedback isn’t happening because feedback feels risky, vulnerable, scary, even downright anxiety-inducing. Feedback is also something we’re not trained to do well if at all. Bad practices like the “feedback sh*t sandwich” is still common practice. It may even feel like a personal and professional bear trap! In this session, we’ll warm up with an overview of what feedback is and is not. We’ll also review the qualities of high-quality feedback, as well as the other kinds of feedback so you know the difference.

APLN 2021 - Adaptability Quotient keynote - Sara Caldwell and Angela Dugan

Angela Dugan

This document discusses increasing adaptability. It begins by introducing the concepts of intellectual quotient, emotional quotient, and adaptability quotient. It then provides tips for improving adaptability, such as communicating with one's environment, considering new ideas, and focusing on new situations while letting go of old ones. Steps are outlined for becoming more adaptative, like popping one's bubble, unlearning and relearning, cognitively flexing, and reflecting on and recognizing change. The document encourages reaching out to the sponsors for help experiencing change and provides references.

That conference tap, tap, tap communication

Angela Dugan

In the 20 or so years since I joined the tech community, I moved from an attitude of "please leave me alone in my cube to code and whatever you do don't talk to me!" to well, giving talks on the importance of communication in the software world. The tools and techniques I've come to know and love have changed over time, but a few things have remained constant. 1) Communicating openly and honestly at all times is HARD 2) Speaking from a place of vulnerability is RIDICULOUSLY HARD 3) Without 1 and 2 you're going to really struggle to be an effective and happy member of ANY software team OK, there's a 4th thing. 4) The days of working alone in your cube like a hermit are largely over for software folks. It really doesn't have to suck. I swear it doesn’t. During my brief time with you, I’m going to rumble with some touch topics and share some of my own embarrassing and enlightening stumbles. It will include things like delivering “bad news” to your client/manager/team and feeling good about it, managing conflict with others in healthy and productive ways, and delivering feedback without feeling like you (or the receiver) will vomit. These things are all very possible, and not that hard to master once you have some key tools and insights in your tool belt.

Agile days chicago 2018 - how do you measure up?

Angela Dugan

How many times have you been asked to deliver on metrics that did not make sense, that were counterproductive to the team’s effectiveness, or the organization’s effectiveness? Did those metrics seem impossible to collect? Often times, the metrics being collected are the ones that are easy, and focused on individual “productivity”. How do we collect data that drives continuous improvement and promotes an open and trust-filled environment. How does that change at scale? When it comes to software delivery, lean and agile practices have clearly taken the lead. This session will take a look at the measures we can and should collect across teams and organizations. We’ll dig into metrics that are relevant, interesting, AND useful, and discuss some of the common traps.

Chicago Code Camp 2018 - Building strong teams

Angela Dugan

Building the “perfect team” seems like an impossible task these days. Can a truly “cross-functional” team even be built? How do you get introverts and extroverts (yes, they DO exist in IT) to play nice? Seems like these days you practically need a degree in psychology to get this right. But you don’t. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with my clients and my company to develop high functioning teams. I’ve found that regardless of focus (software development, marketing, sales), there are patterns to what makes teams successful, and what can hold them back from greatness. In this talk, I’ll cover a couple of tools for understanding the needs and strengths of your individual team members, identifying strength gaps, and action items for creating a happy and well-balanced team that can get it done!

Dev up 2017 - Half Day Workshop: Getting your agile team unstuck

Angela Dugan

Whether you've been working on an agile team for 6 months, or 6 years, the same obstacles tend to arise to trip us up over and over. Maybe your retrospectives feel more like a death march and no one is participating any more, or your daily stand-ups have bloated into 25 team member status meetings, or you have a QA team that feels buried by your fast-paced development team. These situations are unfortunately very common, and they lower team morale, lead to abandoned transformation initiatives, and ultimately your product and customers suffer because of it. But there's a better way! As an agile coach and consultant, I help software organizations stop the bleeding, mature their process, and develop into high functioning agile teams. And to be clear, I've made mistakes as well! I'd like to share with the audience my own experiences, including strategies that succeeded and failed in hopes of leading them down the path to getting their own teams "unstuck". I'll also give attendees an opportunity to share their own challenges, so that we can leverage those strategies to give them ideas for blasting through their own roadblocks. Learning points: Recognizing when your process, product, or people have gone off the rails by identifying "smells" Review some tools and strategies that teams can leverage when they need a cognitive reset to get them back on track How to apply tools and strategies in your own unique environments.

Dev up 2017 - how do you measure up

Angela Dugan

The document discusses metrics for software development teams. It notes that while measurement can improve performance, metrics may become targets and lose value. Common metrics like velocity and burndown can be gamed and are lagging indicators. Better metrics focus on work in progress, lead time, cycle time and flow. The author advocates measuring many things to understand impacts and causes of change.

Whether you've been working on an agile team for 6 months, or 6 years, the same obstacles tend to arise to trip us up over and over. Maybe your retrospectives feel more like a funeral and no one is participating anymore, your daily stand-ups have bloated into 25 team member status meetings, or your QA team is falling farther and farther behind the agile developers and feel like they’ll never catch up with their testing backlog. These are the kinds of issues I see all of the time. They lower team morale, lead to abandoned transformation initiatives, and ultimately your product and customers suffer because of it. But there’s a better way! As an agile coach and consultant, I have worked with dozens of teams to stop the bleeding, strengthen their relationships, mature their processes, and help them grow into high functioning agile machines. And to be clear, I’ve made mistakes as well! I’d like to share with the audience my own experiences and lessons-learned, including both what succeeded and what failed in hopes to lead you down the path to getting your own team “unstuck”.
