Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

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.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent global commitment to
ensure sustainable equitable development. The rallying call of “leaving no one
behind” is in tandem with NGEC’s vision of a society free from gender inequality
and all forms of discrimination. NGEC is alive to the fact that, as part of
implementing the SDGs, the Government has already published and launched its
Road Map to achieving the SDGs. Furthermore, the domestication and integration of
SDGs is imbedded in the MTP III 2018-2022. As an oversight body, NGEC will monitor
Kenya’s implementation of all SDGs with special focus to the goals No 5 ,10 and 16
which are: gender equality; reduced inequality; peace and justice and strong
institutions respectively. The Commission will play a critical role in monitoring and
reporting on the key achievement of targets in each of the SDGs goals.
NGEC ALIGNMENT WITH AFRICA’S AGENDA 2063
Africa Agenda 2063 is a strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation
of the continent over the next 50 years. It builds on, and seeks to accelerate the
implementation of past and existing continental initiatives for growth and
sustainable development. Agenda 2063 has SEVEN aspirations. NGEC is aware that
the Government has integrated and aligned the Africa’s Agenda 2063 aspirations
with MTPIII. NGEC will monitor the implementation of the aspirations of Africa’s
Agenda 2063 concurrently with the implementation of MTP III. The Commission is
aware that Aspiration no. 6 speaks directly to NGEC’s mandate. This aspiration
focuses on, ‘an Africa whose development is people-driven, unleashing the
potential of its youth and caring for children. According to Africa’s Agenda 2063,
Africa shall be an inclusive continent where no child, woman, or man will be left
behind or excluded, on the basis of gender, political affiliation, religion, ethnic
affiliation, locality, age or other factors. Africa of 2063 will have gender parity, with
women occupying at least 50% of elected public offices at all levels and half of
managerial positions in the public and the private sector. The economic and
political glass ceiling that restricted women’s progress would have been shattered.
NGEC’S ALIGNMENT WITH VISION 2030
Kenya’s long term development blue print: Vision 2030 aims to transform Kenya
into an industrialized middle income country, offering a high quality of life to all its
citizens in a clean and secure environment. The Vision has three pillars: economic,
social and political. A lot of NGEC’s functions are within the Social Pillar. The Social
Pillar seeks to build a just and cohesive society with social equity in a clean and
secure environment. This calls for equitable development where everyone
participates leading to inclusive growth and development in Kenya. The NGEC SIGs
should be included in National Development. The Commission will monitor,

contemplated in the Constitution, when it audits the status of these Special
Interest Groups from time to time. Where affirmative action programmes have been
instituted, NGEC will audit implementation to ensure the SIGs targeted benefit.
Vision 2030 is implemented through MTPs, this Strategic Plan coincides with the
THIRD MTP 2018-2022. During the Plan period, NGEC will monitor and audit

economic development through the “Big Four”: Affordable Housing, Food Security,
Manufacturing and Universal Health care to ensure inclusion and equality of
opportunities though continued review of the policies that the Government will use
to guide the implementation. NGEC will point out gaps or omissions to ensure that
“no one is left behind”. A lot of effort will go to working with Private Sector
organizations including Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs) to ensure equality of
opportunity. NGEC will report annually to Parliament and to the President on
