[These slides are from my talk at Agile on the Beach, Fri 4th July 2025]
Sooner or later, all software professionals realise that there is no such thing as knowing all the things. More than any other, our industry is in a constant state of change. The more you know, the more you realise how much you don’t know.
But the most effective professionals are not only aware that the learning never stops, they embrace the challenge and the necessity of continuous improvement. Similarly, the best organisations will also not only accept this truth but face it head on.
In this talk Clare will discuss why, and how, to keep your skills and knowledge up to date – and in the process allow your organisation to retain, attract and create the most talented and effective professionals. The aim is to consider how you can nudge yourselves and your colleagues to a state of childlike fearlessness where learning is fun; is embedded in everything you do; and applies to all team members regardless of experience.
