Title:
Resilience - How to bring your best through the worst
Short synopsis:
Shall we be honest? Agile isn’t all glamour, manifestos and medals. If you’ve found a new way of doing things, its hard getting people to listen, never mind do. As leaders, coaches and reluctant change agents we find ourselves campaigning through a sea of resistance and indifference. There are bad days, weeks, months, even years. So how do people and teams get through it and enable change? Why are some folk still smiling at the end of the toughest days? Resilience, the ability to adapt to new challenges and difficult situations, is one of the key factors. In this talk we look at resilience, what it is, when and why it’s useful, and how to develop the trait within yourself and your team. You may not need it now, but you never know when you will…

Long synopsis (optional):
This talk aims to help attendees understand resilience such that they can develop it in themselves and their teams. We'll also touch briefly on organisational resilience. My aim is to enable attendees to identify areas needing attention, address and raise them with their organisation. Notes for panel: I believe this is especially important for those promoting new ideas in organisations. Not just agile but any new approach from Continuous Delivery to User Centred design. These suggestions often meet resistance, scepticism or just silence. Resilience keeps these change agents motivated and enables them to work in a sustainable way, leading to adoption or evolution of their ideas. I'll look at some theory, real world experience and practical steps. The talk is lively and interactive, with no prior knowledge needed. I'll check knowledge levels and appetite as I go along, and tailor content to the audience. Duration is flexible.
