Ok team. I heard you saying in the retrospective that you want to make some improvements to your process. I think that’s great and all, but now isn’t a good time for that kind of thing. #NotMyAgile #coaching #leadership

As a beginner you go through prescribed steps, but as your skill grows you adapt to various contexts. Coaches: The goal with many methods is not to just follow their steps, but to develop particular skill & mindset patterns via practice. The steps are not an end to themselves.

Endeavoring to persevere. If you can't handle what's coming at you in the next week, focus on a day. If you can't handle a day, focus on an hour. Hell, if you have to, focus on the next breath. In. Out. We'll tackle the rest later. In. Out.
