" We don’t need more tactical skill training; we need a movement with shared ideals and collective purpose. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches, and we’ll make recordings available from the program page. "

" Sponsor sessions are not just salesy sessions. They're really fantastic sessions put on by people who happen to work at a sponsor's company. "

" A speaking career is like a portfolio you build over time with talks you evolve and recombine for different audiences. "

" Keep up those discussions in Slack; there’s really good stuff happening there today. "

" We encourage you to continue engaging with Slack channels and offer your own thoughtful questions to our speakers. "

" We have to be careful not to commoditize trauma-informed work into a checkbox exercise or the next empathy fad. "

" Acknowledgment and validation of someone’s experience alone is trauma-informed and trauma-responsive leadership. "

" You can’t do this work with a Jira ticket. "

" It’s particularly more challenging when you have to deal with hundreds of thousands of objects, millions of users, dozens of geographies. "

" One sign you've passed an inflection point is when you hire me as a consultant. "

" How do you create a sense of craft in an environment fraught with ambiguity, complexity, and anxiety? "

" All processes are extracted. Even if there is an element of enrichment in it, you want to reduce trauma extraction. "
