At that time one of my best friends attempted s*icide for the first time. Theoretically I knew about depression […]
What recent travel taught me about the non-judging awareness aspect of mindfulness. In Germany we say “between the years” if we want to refer to the time between Christmas and New Years Eve. In this time I travelled for 5 days to Leipzig in Eastern Germany to attend the 34th Chaos Communication Congress (34c3 in […]
Experimenting with celebrating success and personal goal setting It is been around 6 weeks ago. To be honest, I felt emotionally cringed and generally not in a too good shape back then.

My team (I also wrote about the “Zombie” retrospective format and the Amazon/Movie Review retrospective activity there) has now been “officially” merged with another development team. The other team consists of 7 developers (two working from remote) and one defacto-teamlead. I have been in charge of facilitating this other […]
Or: Condensing a couple of weeks to stars and a catchline… Last time I blogged about team retrospectives I presented my first experience with the Zombie Retro Format. Today is about the “Amazon Review”, an activity for setting the stage contributed by Christian Heißing to the Retromat. Btw: The retromat website project created by Corinna Baldauf […]
