Short layover in St. Gallen 🇨🇭 before heading to #Berlin 🚄 for #SAGconf with a Swiss wine ad in the background... and hot coffee besides me 😁☕.
Very much looking forward to be part of #iSAQB #SAG2024 to connect with people and to learn together. ✨🤓
I'll be presenting on Wed at 10:00 am: https://conferences.isaqb.org/software-architecture-gathering/session/architecture-in-action-impactful-mind-skills-for-tech-leaders/
Who's in Berlin as well? Please say hi! 😊👋🏼

Architecture in ACTion: Impactful Mind Skills for Tech Leaders - Software Architecture Gathering Digital 2023
Architecture work can be tough: understanding tech stacks, using new tools, facilitating decision making, working with plenty of stakeholders & even some organisational development. Herding cats is easier, isn’t it? In other words, architects often need to *simultaneously*: - show up fully as a tech leader and influence people - have the headspace to dive into new tech - create valuable impact together with colleagues All of that, even when things get rough. And, yes, things *will* get rough from time to time: hard decisions, hidden or open conflicts, high workloads - just to name a few “usual suspects”. With Architecture in ACTion, I introduce you to decades of practical science on the Human Mind. We’ll dig into concepts such as Psychological Flexibility and ACT that are still rarely used in biz but have a huge impact - for your work and beyond! Because deep tech expertise, complexity navigation *and* solid people skills is just a lot to juggle. You will leave my Architecture in ACTion session with: - practical, low-tech tools for more effective operational work as an architect - a reflection canvas for laser-focussed strategic work as a tech leader - digestible science bits on the Human Mind and behaviour - and (hopefully!) a desire to learn more about your “thinking machine” But beware: don’t join this session if you expect plain old "soft skills” training or you’re looking for a magic wand to make "all the people problems go away".
