On Monday 05 may & Tuesday 06 may my father and I were in Paris. Instead of visiting this beautifully city we enjoyed the people from the French Agile community.
Although the organization before was rather chaotic, XPDay.FR 2008 itself was splendid.
The first thing I noticed when we arrived was the Job Board. Hey [...]

Avoid Alliteration.
Prepositions dangle awkwardly if you use them to end sentences with.
Avoid clichés and colloquialism like the plaque, or you will seem old hat.
Employ the vernacular, while eschewing arcane and obfuscate verbiage.
Avoid ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
Take it easy with parenthetical remarks (however relevant) to avoid chopping up sentences (unnecessarily (we might add)).
To ever, however artfully, [...]

Who do you trust? And who trusts you?
Team work is about building trust inside a team. To promote the FranklinCovey course and book they have build a website: WhoTrustsYou.
I took the survey and now I am asked to send it to a lot of people.
It feels like the Facebook app Circle of Trusts.
Anyway I trust [...]

Last week I rescued Christophe Thibaut in a mail. He was actually glad about the result. ( I proposed to use the 5 Why’s and the 9 boxes in an answer on a checkin of him.)
He replied with this general ask for help:
Ask for help : If you have some piece of advice in mind, [...]

Vorige week verscheen een artikel in Bizz Magazine over BootCamp. Gino Marckx zegt daarin dat BootCamp: “Het is de beste opleiding die ik ooit heb gevolgd”
Als je geintereseerd bent in coaching-seminaries moet je zeker Bizz van Mei 2008 kopen. I quote “Bizz testte een aantal originele of populaire coaching technieken die afwijken van het traditionele [...]

1) Mijn projecten eindigen op tijd en binnen budget zonder probleem.
2) Elk team waar ik mee gewerkt heb had een gedeelde visie
3) In vergadering doen we alleen wat resultaat opleverd
4) Niemand steekt de schuld op management of iemand anders, als ze niet krijgen wat ze willen.
5) Iedereen deelt zijn beste ideeen onmiddellijk
6) Ideeen worden onmiddellijk [...]

Na Peter van de Veire zijn stunt als Mega-Cindy zing ik af en toe van MegaCindy als Joppe en Bent aan het dansen zijn op MegaMindy.
Gisteren begon Joppe spontaan te zingen:
Ik ben MegaCindy.
Ze laat alle boeven vrij
met een pak friet met stoverij
Dit is het stukje van Peter VanDeVeire
Zie ik een vliegtuig,
zie ik een vogel
nee dat [...]

I like to improve myself. It’s not that I am unhappy with myself, but I feel that doing nothing to improve myself is like going backwards.
On the projects I worked on, I tried to learn something everyday. I quickly discovered I learned faster by reading non-fiction books. Then I realized that I could learn even [...]

More and more companies are going agile. For a small company it is the best way to outperform your big competitors. For a big company it’s the cheapest way of working. (Some big companies have to much money to care about this.) Still I am happy that more and more companies ask me to teach [...]

As you can see in our family’s newyears video, breakfast at our place is always a “heroes happen here” event.
When my partner has breakfast with the kids alone: it works fine.
When I have breakfast with them it is ok too. The challenges start when we are both there.
We tend to have both our own way [...]

Some time ago, I was working as a project coach. Everything was fine, I was working with a great team, iterations were delivered on time.
Their was a small problem in the company. One person did not deliver on time. The person was nice, but he constantly under delivered.
I proposed to the CEO to [...]
