All in the timing: How To Understand & Connect With the Precontemplative Person(mostly) TRUE THINGS
This document discusses strategies for engaging with and working with precontemplative individuals regarding behavior change. It notes that most behavior change programs are designed for those ready to take action, but only 20% of people presenting for help are at that stage. Effective strategies must start where people are and accept their unique experiences. Fear-based interventions can reinforce the perception of threat. The document discusses focusing on developing competence in other areas like stress management. It also discusses the importance of emotional intelligence and connection in communication. Timing is important - desire and competence for change must occur together. The processes of change involve experiential and behavioral processes seen at different stages. For precontemplation, it's important to raise consciousness and provide alternatives.
Creativity is the energy of change, and anyone can enlarge and enhance their capacity to tap into this energy through learning about how it works and engaging in creative experiences. This is essential information for all of us now, living at this time when the speed of life is accelerating and the pace of change a source of significant psychological stress. Uncertainty and instability are part of the price we pay for revolutionary new technologies that continue to transform the landscape of our lives, through redesigning the way we do business, connect and communicate. In light of the stresses we face it is more important than ever to understand the process of burn-out so that we can prevent it. The good news is that the creative process is a way of engaging with the tensions of the unknown and shaping our attitudes and habits of mind in ways that make us more effective, empowered and energized.

David Jiang presented InnoSQL, a new branch of MySQL that features a flash cache for the InnoDB storage engine. The flash cache provides higher performance than using an SSD as the durable storage alone. It caches both reads and writes using SSDs and employs techniques like merge writes and sequential writes to optimize for SSD performance. Benchmark results showed the flash cache improved throughput for the TPC-C workload by around 2x compared to using SSDs as the durable storage directly.
A survey of 2600 human resources professionals found that 71% valued Emotional Intelligence (EI) more than IQ when hiring. EI is a necessary mind and skill set for 21st century life and a method for strengthening our resilience to stress.
Creative experiences - writing, making and listening to music, art, improvisation - are the most direct pathway to developing the mind and skill set associated with emotional intelligence. This power point was part of a presentation at The Examined Life Conference at the Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, April 11-13, 2013.

This document discusses lessons learned from translating a book about agile practices using agile principles. It notes challenges with assumptions vs reality, communication visibility, planning and tracking, collaboration, quality, and work procedures. It provides recommendations such as using Kanban techniques like limiting work in process, visualizing work, and frequent checkpoints to improve synchronization and prevent delays. The key is to focus on communication, feedback, self-organization, and simple tools while inspecting and adapting practices.

The art of storytelling and how it can help make a better world(mostly) TRUE THINGS
"Storytelling the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today," according to master storyteller Robert McKee. This power point is about why story matters in a world of constant change and so much information to absorb at ever-increasing speed, and the importance of learning the art of story for maximum impact on the listener. Presented at the Applied Improvisation Network annual conference in Montreal on Sept. 28, 015.
"Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes — it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm." Peter Drucker. Management Challenges for the 21st Century (1999). This power point was created for a Lifestage training used to help employees in organizations understand and manage the emotional and psychological impact of workplace change.

The document outlines a scrum penny game experiment to demonstrate concepts from queueing theory. Players take on roles like worker, manager, and customer to simulate a production process where workers flip coins and pass batches to customers. Little's law is described, which states that the average number of customers in a system equals the arrival rate multiplied by the average time a customer spends in the system. The experiment will take place in multiple Chinese cities from mid-October through November.
