My keynote at Lean Agile Scotland - my last at any UK agile conference. Marking the end of my active involvement with agile communities, this keynote talks of my battle with focus and my journey to say 'Yes' to as many things as I can - to help me learn, share and grow.
I discuss the why and how of saying 'Yes', tools I use to manage the madness and the benefits to my life thus far.

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.
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.

1. The linky art
and joy of
saying yes to
almost
everything
Mike Sutton @lascot 2018
2. What about
Mike?
I thrive in
collaboration
I’m addicted to ideas
and I love seeing them
turn to something
I’m quite fond
of people
I get bored easily
I’d quite like to be
really wealthy
What’s ‘Linky’?
A developer
for 25 years
an agile coach
for 12 years
An international
human rights lawyer
Ask what this is, win a
thing.
a Dad of four
a startup
founder
a husband to one
diagnosed with Frustrating
Sequentialism ok - that’s not a thing,
but it should be
I practice “getting what I want by
helping others get what they want”
3. What do you do when
every path before you is
uncertain?

4. I choose to explore all
of them as efficiently as
I can,using data to guide
me.
Go Fishing
Decide on what counts
as a ‘catch’ - what is
valuable to me
Make it as cheap
as possible to fish
Be open to the
possibilities
Explore within my means
Find creative ways to
increase my ‘means’

hint: it is usually saying ‘Yes’
identify the
minimum to be
done and do it.
be open to whatever
happens.
things are going to get busy,
make it visible.
See what you are doing
A little
discipline goes
a long way
I measure my working
day in pomodoros
decide how much
time you are willing to
invest (and when)
manage the flow
still say ‘Yes’ all the time,
create fewer instances
when is that
value greatest?
de-couple ‘Yes, to
what’s next’ from what
might happen 10 steps
down the linedelink
your chain
make it easy
to say ‘Yes’
6. Tools I use
to manage the flow
I use https://calendly.com to
publish my contact hours
a trello board for the things
I’m working on and what
stages they are / tasks
to see what I’m
doing
storiesonboard.com - a user story mapping
app to visualise everything at every level

all in sync

interesting

7. sshh,here
comes the
science-ish bit
Optimise your
context & brain
side switching
it is just chemistry
make the exciting work
subsidise the boring work
rest / sleep is context too
Get new contexts to switch to - I knit.
Balance Left/Logic with Right/
Creativity
boring/tedious work needs more
endorphins to ‘power’ through
the eternal DOSE dance (super simplified)
Dopamine - major role in rewards/motivation,
Oxytocin - modulates fear/anxiety, helps feelings of love, trust, empathy
Serotonin - regulates happiness
Endorphin - handles your fear/flight and pushing through
Get some sleep
…and exercise
put more of the good
stuff into your System 1
make things that make you happy
become habitual - fill up your
System 1. e.g. I use humour
Know thyself
what gets you excited?
what gets you zombified?
what helps you disconnect?
what helps you laugh?
What are you prone to?
laugh a lot more and
with more people
helps keep serotonin and oxytocin
topped up. Regularly doing this
becomes habit
sleep lets things System
1 get updates
major source of
endorphins generation
eat better
a balanced diet low in highly
processed food seems to be the
best advice

Joyful Hardship
I’m happier
variety, industries, communities
more often
founder in 4
startups
people I actually
engage with
regularly
When I get tired, I
get exhausted
