Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. Main Points/Overview
Book is divided into 7 parts, named after Chinese elements
1. Moon
2. Water
3. Fire
4. Metal
5. Wood
6. Earth
7. Sun
Narration of the story is interspersed with italicized parts: dreams,
visions, or flashbacks of main character Insu/Heinz
3. Moon:
In the House of the Japanese Colonel
This section is “Moon” possibly due to the many references to moonlight
and ghosts, the setting of the Colonel’s house and the emotions it
evokes in Heinz/Insu
Set in Post Korean War Korea
Story begins with Insu and family moving into a new house that is
rumored to have been owned by a Japanese colonel who was rumored
to have tortured and murdered tens of thousands of Koreans for his
amusment. The house has also been a haven for refugees of the war.
Here, fear of ghosts and spirits is first introduced. Mr. Hwang, the new
owner of the house, has performed exorcisms of the house
4. Characters
Characters that live in the house:
Insu: naïve narrator
Insu’s mother (Mahmi)
Emo & Hyongbu (Aunt and Uncle) with two children, Yongsu and
Haesuni
Gannan (niece from the country)
The house is a character itself: “quiet and parklike” at some times,
violent and frightening at others
“I often heard whispers which I knew were lamentations of the refugees
who had died during the war. Sometimes when I looked toward the
boulders, I would see the ghost of the Japanese Colonel standing
quietly under the trees, gazing at me with his sad a lonely eyes”
5. Gannan
Close relationship with Insu, we first see them interact when he comforts her as she cries
She is a niece from the country, spends a lot of time on American army base, can be
presume that she is a prostitute there
Has a yellow-haired boyfriend (American Soldier, GI) who gets her pregnant and won’t
marry her.
Gives Insu advice: “‘When you’re grown up, you must have compassion. Good things and
bad things will happen, but you must remember this always, ungh? You must have
injong.’”
Instructs him that he must never forget about injong, but once she commits suicide, he
cannot remember
Insu has anxiety that night as he falls asleep because he can’t hear Mahmi breathing,
and then:
“…I saw Gannan, dressed in white, waving to me from under the brances of the chestnut
tree. I smiled and fell, unafraid, into a deep sleep.” ”
Her death affects the whole family: Haesuni and Yongsu fought more, Mahmi and Emo
have less to talk about, Insu is lonely, Hyongbu drinks more often
6. Water:
Blood and the River
Meaning of the sections title
Water & river: Haesuni, Hyongbu’s daughter, is almost drowned in
river,
Blood from Hyongbu’s story about mosquitos
The house is more silent since Gannan’s death. “I imagined at
times that I waded through it, as if it were an invisible fluid that
swirled between the rooms…”
Hyongbu is moody, drunk, violent, beats children
Insu begins to see Gannan: “A ghost in white with long, black hair
and an etherally beautiful face would often come to me in the
garden at night and smile at me with a sorrowful expression. She
spoke only when it rained…”
7. Hyongbu tells elaborate stories to Insu, usually obviously fictional and
highlighting his own strength and intelligence. These are his only
interactions with Hyongbu throughout the story
Hyongbu takes Insu, Haesuni, Yongbu on a boat ride. Haesuni is
nervous and keeps asking to turn back, but Hyongbu is stubborn. She
falls out of the boat and rather than helping her, he makes her hold on
until they reach the shore.
“…we had seen Haesuni’s spirit on the verge of leaving her body.”
Another Hyongbu story: mosquitos and how they are from his great
grandfathers fox demon wife
“…But shes just a girl. A woman. A woman can ruin an entire bloodline. A
woman can suck you dry of your strength. And she’s going to grow up into a
bitch, just like the rest of them.” (regarding to Haesuni) Extremely
disrespectful of women, determined to pass this down to Insu.
Throughout the first two parts of the story, Insu is often found singing.
Singing is a form of comfort for him, especially in the tragic situations
he finds himself in (Gannan’s suicide, Haesumi’s near drowning).
Gannan also cries from Chongi’s mothers song on the night she
commits suicide.
