The Agile Wire: A Podcast About Self-Selection

October 20, 2020

A month ago, I recorded a podcast for The Agile Wire with Jeff Maleski and Jeff Bubolz, both amazing Agilists in the Milwaukee/Madison area with an incredible podcast. We covered self-selection topics at a broad level: everything from what it is to planning a self-selection event to how to run a successful virtual event. I’ve done about a dozen events so far and Jeff B has too so there are a lot of tips and tricks from the trenches in this episode. I had so much fun chatting with these two and I hope you have a lot of fun listening to the podcast! Note that you can find this podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.

Exit Interview: A Book Review

I recently read Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career by Kristi Coulter. I picked it up because the title resonated with me.

Coulter’s book was funny, interesting, and, above all, kind of PTSD-inducing if you’re in tech and especially if you’re a woman in tech.

A Different Kind of Power: Why Jacinda Ardern’s Version of Leadership Matters

I just finished A Different Kind of Power: A Memoir by Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s Prime Minister from 2017 to 2023. At a moment when the political world feels particularly bleak, Ardern’s book feels different. It’s full of hope (and good decisions). Her tenure as New Zealand’s Prime Minister shows us that a person can hold the highest office in a country and still be, unmistakably and unapologetically, a human being, a woman, and a mom.

Stick Together: What the Women’s Suffrage Movement Can Teach Us About Politics Right Now

I’ve been working on a new book for women trying to kick ass in a male-centric world and I’m in the developmental editing stages right now. I just got through my final chapter and I love it so, darn much. The chapter is called: “Stick Together: How To Stop Undermining Other Women & Get Things Done Together”. Historically, our failure to stick together has cost us decades of progress. Here’s just one example.
