Presenting to executives

Presenting to executives at your company is different than giving a presentation to your team, other teams, at a meetup, a conference, or customers. When asked to present to a group of senior leaders from your company, you need to structure your presentation differently, prepare differently, and communicate differently than when speaking to other audiences. Positive exposure with senior leaders in an organization is valuable for career advancement. It is an excellent opportunity. This talk presents some concrete strategies for planning your presentation, preparing the attendees, handling unexpected questions, going down rabbit holes, driving the attendees to a decision (if that is your goal), and following up afterward. This talk was first presented at LeadDev Live, January 2021

A Software Career (2017)

Kevin Goldsmith

Many, if not most of us, started as developers. We learned and perfected our craft and were proud of our coding accomplishments. It was what defined us. As you progress in leadership, more and more of your responsibilities have less and less to do with coding. When is it time to make coding your hobby instead of your job? How do you do it? This talk is all about embracing the challenges of leading people while staying technically credible. First Presented at ConFoo February 2021

When why and how to stop coding as your day job

Crafting a Mission and Vision For Your Team

Kevin Goldsmith

The idea of creating autonomous teams has been trending for a few years now. It is now considered one of the tenets of mature agile organizations. In theory, autonomous teams move faster because they don't have to synchronize with other groups as much or wait to get approval for their decisions. They don't have to wait for direction. Autonomous teams should also be happier; autonomy being one of the three pillars of driving motivation in individuals. In practice, many leads and their managers confuse autonomy with being completely "hands-off." Failed projects, buggy releases, or other issues are often the result of not understanding how team autonomy should work. In this talk, I’ll discuss my experiences seeing autonomy done correctly and not in teams, and share examples of what I’ve done to establish the needed conditions for autonomy done right.

You Are Doing Autonomy Wrong

Many consider agile a process to implement within an existing organization. A set of rules to follow that will produce some useful outcomes. This approach can provide improvements in many different structures of organizations. As agile maturity improves, however, the benefits can become limited by the structure and culture of the organization itself. Agile is more than a framework for organizing tasks for a team. Agile is a culture, a mindset and a structure for improving the velocity of innovation and providing real business value to customers. To gain the most benefit from Agile it must be considered as part of a more extensive system that incorporates organizational structure, software architecture, and company culture. This talk considers the interactions between how the work, the software, and the people are organized in high performing agile organizations. Using my own experiences at companies large and small, I will share what I have learned and some best practices I use. These lessons will help you as you improve and scale your Agile teams. I will discuss: * How to structure your organization to remove the bottlenecks in coordination and decision-making that can slow velocity to a crawl * How to take advantage of modern systems architectures to allow teams to move faster * Using data to provide accountability for autonomous teams without creating more process By the end, you will have concrete examples and ideas that you can bring back to your team to help you improve and scale agile within your organization.

This talk was presented at the Stretch Leadership Conference in Budapest, Hungary on February 14, 2020 In this talk, Kevin Goldsmith discusses four main challenges to leading distributed teams: Conway’s Law, Amdahl’s Law (as applied to organizations), Empathy, and Communication. He gives examples of these problems and solutions from his experience leading distributed teams over the last 25 years. Distributed teams can either be very powerful, finding the best developers wherever they are, or it can be a nightmare of bad video meetings and flame wars. What makes distributed teams especially challenging? How can we address these challenges to make our distributed organizations more effective?

Leading Distributed Teams - Stretch Conference 2020

Kevin Goldsmith

You make a hire for your team. The person wants 20% more than anyone else. Should you give it to them? Your manager gives you a 5% raise budget for your team. Do you give them all 5% or give one person 15% and the rest 1%? You think you are giving a great raise to one of your top performers, but they let you know that they expected much more. A person on your team approaches you because they got a job offer for 10% more than their current salary. Should you try to match it? The management debt that gets accrued by poor decisions around salary is extremely painful to fix. In this talk, I will give you the tools and ideas that you can use to be well prepared for the next salary review. I will help you avoid accruing management debt around pay in your team. How is the salary budget calculated? How you can argue for the extra budget to adjust someone that is not being paid well. Where you can find extra money to make a meaningful difference for someone. Why sometimes it is better to do no raise at all, then do a small one. How you handle the conversation when someone isn't happy with their increase. How do you decide what salary to offer a candidate? How can you make sure that you are not increasing pay disparity between different groups? These are problems that Dev Leads face all the time. The impact of making a wrong decision is massive to an individual. The mistake of paying someone too little or too much can affect them for years. Understanding how salary works helps you create a happier and healthier team. [This talk was given at The Lead Developer conference in Berlin, Germany on December 6, 2019. The slides here include sections of the presentation that I had to cut for time.]

Developing your Developers: Constructing Career Paths for your Technologists ...

Kevin Goldsmith

We continue to build products allowing our customers to do more things online. While bringing convenience, it also raises the stakes of fraud, for our customers and our companies. The democratization of technology means that those intending to commit fraud can take advantage of some amazingly sophisticated tools. Consumers and governments have little trust in technology due to the questionable ethics of some of the biggest players in the industry. Identity online continues to evolve; governments, businesses, the open source community, and grassroots organizations are all evolving how we validate, protect, and secure our identity. Whether your software is targeted towards businesses or consumers, if you are in a regulated vertical or a non-regulated one, or if you have customers in multiple countries or just one, how you ethically manage customer identity will be crucial to your product’s success (or existence).

Drawing on real-life examples from Avvo, Spotify, Adobe and Microsoft, Kevin Goldsmith explores why you should consider changing your organization to improve your architecture and discusses the successes and failures he’s seen around the interplay of organizational models and software architectures. Kevin often visits companies, where he hears about how they struggle to break up monolithic applications or move to a continuous deployment pipeline. Oftentimes, the organizational structure is clearly making their problems harder but is seen as something that can’t be changed. Kevin relates his own journey to a more experimental organizational style. As a developer at Microsoft, Kevin worked in a rigid hierarchy organized around functional areas. The communication flows within the organization dictated the way it structured its libraries and dependencies. This is the essence of Conway’s law. In this case, the company hierarchy and the architecture it produced was often suboptimal for the problem Kevin and his team were solving, but it was the architectural path of least resistance. When Kevin moved to Adobe and became a senior manager, he started to build his organization in the traditional way. Adobe wanted to create a more fluid and agile architecture for its products, but the company struggled to realize these goals because it was it was too hard to work across teams and reporting lines. The company finally started to make some progress as the organization became more fluid and loosely coupled. Kevin then went to Spotify, which had realized this problem early on and restructured its organization in a way that supported the architectural model that it wanted to build. As a vice president of engineering, Kevin was able to see firsthand how the organizational model simplified the architectural challenges that other companies struggled with while also introducing difficulties that other companies were easily able to overcome. When Kevin joined Avvo as its CTO, the company had the same organization and architectural challenges as many other startups, but rather than attack them only from an architectural angle, Avvo experimented with architecture and organization together to improve its legacy systems and help build new ones faster and with higher quality.

Despite remarkable successes in various domains such as robotics and games, Reinforcement Learning (RL) still struggles with exploration inefficiency. For example, in hard Atari games, state-of-the-art agents often require billions of trial actions, equivalent to years of practice, while a moderately skilled human player can achieve the same score in just a few hours of play. This contrast emerges from the difference in exploration strategies between humans, leveraging memory, intuition and experience, and current RL agents, primarily relying on random trials and errors. This tutorial reviews recent advances in enhancing RL exploration efficiency through intrinsic motivation or curiosity, allowing agents to navigate environments without external rewards. Unlike previous surveys, we analyze intrinsic motivation through a memory-centric perspective, drawing parallels between human and agent curiosity, and providing a memory-driven taxonomy of intrinsic motivation approaches. The talk consists of three main parts. Part A provides a brief introduction to RL basics, delves into the historical context of the explore-exploit dilemma, and raises the challenge of exploration inefficiency. In Part B, we present a taxonomy of self-motivated agents leveraging deliberate, RAM-like, and replay memory models to compute surprise, novelty, and goal, respectively. Part C explores advanced topics, presenting recent methods using language models and causality for exploration. Whenever possible, case studies and hands-on coding demonstrations. will be presented.

Unlocking Exploration: Self-Motivated Agents Thrive on Memory-Driven Curiosity

I had the honour of presenting my reflections on the autobiography of Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, titled "Uncommon Grace." As someone deeply invested in documentation and history, I found Professor Adewole's decision to narrate his journey from humble beginnings to occupying one of the highest offices in the land both inspiring and invaluable. In this eloquently written memoir, Professor Adewole provides a comprehensive account of his life, from his ancestral roots to his time as Minister of Health in Nigeria. The unique aspect of this autobiography is that he portrayed himself authentically without taking the help of third-party narratives, which is often seen in accounts of high-ranking officials. His upbringing was greatly influenced by his father's commitment to education. He became a prominent figure in advocating for the rights of the underprivileged through trade unionism. His story is one of unwavering determination, resilience, and faith. His experiences, including both successes and struggles, provide priceless lessons on leadership, perseverance, and the alignment of personal values with public service. While reading "Uncommon Grace," I was struck by the deep leadership lessons that are embedded within its chapters. Professor Adewole stresses the importance of inclusivity, servant leadership, and planning, which are all highly relevant in today's complex world. His commitment to accountability, as well as his primary responsibility as a researcher, serves as a guiding light for aspiring leaders across various disciplines. During his tenure as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, he led with visionary leadership and transformative impact. His accomplishments have been meticulously documented in the book, which can serve as a blueprint for rejuvenating institutions and promoting academic excellence. In the latter part of his autobiography, Professor Adewole shares his experiences as a Minister, detailing the challenges he faced while serving the public with integrity and courage. His reflections on the complexities of public service, coupled with his commitment to the well-being of the nation, offer practical insights for policymakers and citizens alike. I have carefully read "Uncommon Grace" and it is more than just a memoir. It is a timeless book that is hard to put down once you start reading. While intellectuals may continue to debate whether uncommon grace was made possible by uncommon preparation or the other way around, I applaud Professor Adewole for sharing his ideas, knowledge, and experience with the public. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
