Inner strength manifesto Cosmic Spirit Animal Your Spirit Animal is Trying to...sonu verma
Any individuals who are in the business of leading, motivating and inspiring others should
give careful consideration to embarking on a self-development program of any kind first to
have a critical look at them. This is important to knowing yourself well in order to determine
what areas that need further improvement.
Once an area of improvement is identified, then fixing it would be much simpler. I like to
call this process the “scientific way” because it is an empirical approach in diagnosing the
issues and rectifying it.
There is 3 processes involved in this:
1) Identifying
2) Admitting
3) Addressing
We begin by first identifying our focus and gaps. If we intend to change for the better, it is
important we be outright honest with ourselves by asking simple questions first. What are
our strengths, weaknesses and aspirations? Write it down onto a piece of paper.
Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.

Courageous Agile
1. Courageous Agile
How to work together when the world is falling apart
30 April 2020 @ 6 p.m. Zoom MeetingHouston, TX
2. What is
Courage?
The ability to do something that frightens
one; strength in the face of pain or grief.
Origin: “heart” as source of feelings, ‘corage’
Courage starts with showing up and
letting ourselves be seen.
Brene Brown
3. VALUES: Ethical Code of Practice

Courage is the most important of
all the virtues, because
without courage you can't practice
any other virtue consistently.
Maya Angelou

steps to move forward (e.g. small increments)
“I don’t know”
While taking small steps, she continues to address her fear
openly and stays focused on what is immediately in front.

12. Quick Reference for Difficult Conversations
Allow Conflict to Surface
Healthy vs. unhealthy conflict
will surface. How you address each
makes a difference.
Address Negative Conflict
Gently but Directly
Do not allow negative conflict to linger,
especially in remote settings. Reach out
and make sure issues are addressed.
Avoid “Blame Game”
Stay on facts, stay away from emotional
indictments or shifting to blame. If you
veer, redirect back to issues and away
from heated emotions.
Paraphrase
Actively listen and repeat back to those
in difficult conversations what you heard
and confirm understanding.
State the Truth Upfront
Do not dance around issues. State
conflict up front and directly in the first
sentence, then focus on next steps.
Keep Goals Realistic
You are not going to solve world peace in
a single conversation. Keep immediate
needs first, then plan future steps.
13. Other Ways to Practice Courageous Agile
Practice Intentional
Empathy
Take the coaching stance of empathy
and positive intent OVER that of motive
and frustration.
Expect the Unexpected
We are in unprecedented times with a new
fun thing emerging every day. Breathe and
prepare for things to emerge.
Invoke the 6th value:
FORGIVENESS
Repeating because it’s that important.
Assume positive intent, practice
empathy, then forgive and move on.
Choose the good.
Focus on Agreements
Conflict + fear = erosion of trust
Have intentional conversations around
agreed upon behaviors that serve the
needs of your teams
Intentionally reflect the
behaviors you expect in
return
Courage is a virtue.
Being right is not.
You can choose courage or
you can choose to be
comfortable. You cannot
choose both.
Brene Brown
14. Values rewritten: https://www.scrumalliance.org/ScrumRedesignDEVSite/media/ScrumAllianceMedia/Public%20Relations_2/What-is-Scrum-Backgrounder-2014.pdf
Courage: Because we are not alone, we feel supported and have
more resources at our disposal. This gives us the courage to
undertake greater challenges.
Focus: Because we focus on only a few things at a time, we work
well together and produce excellent work. We deliver valuable
items sooner.
Commitment: Because we have great control over our own
destiny, we become more committed to success.
Respect: As we work together, sharing successes and failures, we
come to respect each other and to help each other become worthy
of respect.
Openness: As we work together, we practice expressing how we’re
doing and what’s in our way. We learn that it is good to express
concerns so that they can be addressed.
