Global SKILup Day
Next question and hot topic in IT today: Burnout is a big problem these days. What tips do you have to prevent it?
Helen Beal
Make the work visible! And then control the flow. Then remove the waste and then accelerate the flow through automation.
Dheeraj Nayal - Organizer of Global SKILup Day🦸‍♂
That is why creating your own roadmap of Skills, knowledge, ideas, learning is very critical. It makes fun to enjoy your job, loving what you do !!
Helen Beal
Make leadership about discovery and not about management (management will be automated anyway so if you're a manager...)
Dheeraj Nayal - Organizer of Global SKILup Day🦸‍♂
Create your own tribe and learn, share, empathize. Love the Dr. Christina presentation at #DOES London this year on #burnout
Suresh GP, MBRM
I think it is a growing concern. Follow the #Mentalhealth - Connect with your friends and family. Be Open and believe everyone has a tough patch. Don`t put a lot of pressure to yourself. Listen to music :-)
Jeremy Douglas
by taking dedicated time to focus on your own personal journey. Listening to music, going for a long walk, meditation - anything away from a screen!
Sanjeev Kumar
roadmap to self discovery … pathe the way to where you want to be
Jayne Groll
It is really easy to become consumed in your work but sometimes at an unstainable pace. Take intentional time for yourself - even 5 min at a time during the day.
Helen Beal
Remember human behaviour is driven by brains - seek to understand the brains!
Amanda Mattos
keep lean in mind...limit the WIP
Rose Dyson
We need more coaches, transformational leaders, DevOps Leaders, good scrum masters.
Look after people. Listen to the team and act on impediments. Give people appropriate time to do what needs to be done and to learn.
Rose Dyson
Schedule time to learn and be innovative.
Jayne Groll
Every session at Global SKILup Day focuses on "how-to". Where else do you get your how-to knowledge?
Global SKILup Day
online tutorials are a great way to learn, as well as YouTube instruction videos! Anything in particular come to mind @JayneGroll?
Helen Beal
I like to ask people!
Global SKILup Day
Yes, Helen! The people doing the knowledge work are always the best source for this kind of knowledge!
Sanjeev Kumar
all my cloud self learning came from getting online courses or via youtube .... normally 7 hours a course but then time you do practical/revisiting it takes about 13 hours
Rose Dyson
we can get some good ones in youtube and individual blogs. But, the DevOps Institute Guru Cafe gives me a one stop shop.
Amanda Mattos
on Community. I always learn a lot with people sharing their real life experiences.
Suresh GP, MBRM
I love the microlearning series. Short videos are very powerful. Love it
Rose Dyson
I spend 50-60% teaching and I learn a lot from my students.
Dheeraj Nayal - Organizer of Global SKILup Day🦸‍♂
I really want to know from everyone here : What is your own Skills, knowledge, Ideas, Learning transformation plan as an individual. This is personal and very vital.
#SKILup
Suresh GP, MBRM
Every indidvidual has an appetite for learning and it depends on harnessing all the available resources in the form of books, blogs, events, interactions and volunteering. Being with #devops community is magical for #upskilling
Helen Beal
Ooh I actually haven't done that myself! Is there a template we can use?
Rose Dyson
I am a great believer in simulations and gamification. Which simulations have you experienced? WHat was the best about it?
Amanda Mattos
I just love it too...It's specially useful in change management scenarios
Dheeraj Nayal - Organizer of Global SKILup Day🦸‍♂
DevOps Experience Simulation by @devopsinst is the most updated simulation launched recently. It bring the digital transformation to LIFE !!
Jayne Groll
Stay tuned - DevOps Institute is launching a #DevOpsExperience simulation. So excited.
Helen Beal
I love The Phoenix Project sim (and had some involvement with that!) but we also have a customer experiment with a new one this Friday in London - the Digital Transformation Experience! We will be an aviation company - so good on its test run recently
Suresh GP, MBRM
I have now done over 8 different simulations covering #Agile #ITSM #DevOps #Lean #Cybersecurity #Projectmanagement and they are powerful tools to instigate practical insights
Amanda Mattos
I worked on a game to drive code quality improvements with soft dev teams and engage them to best practices, sharing, ownership and blameless
Suresh GP, MBRM
I did Marslander Simulation last week at Service Management World in Orlando, mapping #ITIL4
Helen Beal
We also have another one based in the art academy in Bristol where you learn about innovation and fear of failure
Helen Beal
And another I call 'Get your wellies on' in an offshore windfarm!
Helen Beal
@sureshgp I haven't tried that one yet but it's on the list @sureshgp
Helen Beal
We've also been experimenting with Lego serious play to drive empowerment this year which has been very popular too! Quite abstract but really gets collaboration going and puts everyone in the room
Manny Varela
