Talk description
Title:
Testing Your Emotions - and how you can apply some personal leadership to keep them under control
Short synopsis:
Delivering software is emotional. It raised emotions within all of us and those that we work with. It affects our relationships with those inside and outside our teams, and if incorrectly handled, can risk the success of both teams and projects. In this talk I intend to explore the situations that teams typically encounter and how these impact the emotions that everyone in the team faces. I will explore typical dimensional models of emotion such as those proposed by Robert Plutchik and Hugo Lövheim and use these, and others, to help explain how we can better understand the emotions that we face, and the emotions that we raise in others.

Long synopsis (optional):
Key Points: - Why should we understand our emotions better? - How could misunderstanding our emotional impact hinder the progress of projects? - What gives us an emotional attachment to our roles and tasks? - Why do we need to apply some personal leadership in order to better understand and convey our emotions? - Techniques we can use to better understand and use our emotions. What the Audience Will Take Away: - A better understanding of how our emotions impact many different areas of our work. - Tools and techniques to help them analyse and understand their own emotions. - An understanding of common emotional models. - Hopefully the willingness and confidence to go back to their teams and work in a better way. This presentation is built upon experience I have gained during my 18 years within the world of software. I’ve led teams of between 4 and 60 people, and have seen emotions expressed in many different ways, and have seen the impact of good and bad emotional decisions. This lead me to work to understand my own emotions better, and how to control and use these to benefit those within the organisations I worked in. I hope that, during this presentation, the audience will be able to learn from my experience.
