In December 2022, I found three books by Austin Kleon. Each one took me about 30 minutes to read and they completely changed my goals for 2023.
Title
-
Show your work
The essence of this book is to share what you do and how you do it intentionally sharing value with everyone. Generosity trumps genius.
-
Steal like an Artist
Free yourself from the burden of originality and recognize that every good idea is already shared and has shaped us and fashioned us from what we learned. Share what you learned and add to it
-
Keep Going
As a creative person, Consistency is important. Creative life is not a linear journey but a loop. So find a daily routine to continue to keep going and finish what you start
These books have shaped what I am going to do in 2023.
Goals
- Teach in NYU to share two decades of experience changing organizational behavior as a consultant, both internal and external.
- Bring back the learnings from the case studies to my Scrum Master and Product Owner classes Share things most people don’t know about Scrum, Product Management, DevOps, Instructional
- Design using Training from the BACK of the Room and NLP and Books that I recommend in Videos.

Scrum, Product Management, and DevOps: Simplifying the jargon
The internet and social media are full of Agile, Scrum, Product Management, and DevOps jargon, including incorrect and misunderstood concepts. This could be problematic for a learner seeking knowledge. Without a course with Scrum Alliance, Scrum.org, or DevOps Institute, this knowledge is difficult to achieve.
