Don't Just do Agile - AgileDC ConferenceSimon Storm
Are you struggling to implement Agile at your company? What could be better than to learn from someone who has done it wrong over and over! We want to share our experiences pioneering Agile at a FinTech company. After multiple attempts and through sheer stubbornness, we were we able to get it right and improve our release pace by 650% annually. We will walk through where we went wrong, what we did right, and why we now understand that Agile cannot be successful without profound collaboration, Continuous Delivery, a DevOps culture and a desire to continuously improve.
WordPress developers think WordPress is easy, but many site owners--our clients--have a very different idea. Here's why people find WordPress difficult to use and some ways we can make it easier.

Reinventing Home Telecare Services: Learning Lessons for Japan and Beyondjhalperin
This is the story of the initiative at Philips to bring the Lifeline personal emergency response service to Japan, with some lessons we learned along the way.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
