From Conformity to Courage Through Human Work

<This article was originally published on the www. duenablomstrom.com website here> Much as we get impatient and frustrated when we are in the belly of the beast, in the world of work, there is a clear evolution in terms of authenticity and courage.

The Path to Impact and Human Work

The Path to Impact and Human Work

Why (I Think) Developers Won't Test

Once our new podcast “People AND Tech” (finally!) -word inserted to convey frustration with the speed!:)- is out, you’ll hear Dave (Ballantyne - VP of Engineering at Evora Global, my husband and my co-host) and I discuss this theme that Bryan Finster instigated with this observation: While his...

10 Things You Need to Create a People-First Culture Through Human Work

<This article was originally published on the www. duenablomstrom.com website here> Explaining the need for the Human Work has changed over the last year. I’d like to believe that there has been a marked difference in the way people are receiving it and that it is a good sign judging by what we...

"We Have Loads of Psychological Safety. We Just Know It."

"We Have Loads of Psychological Safety. We Just Know It."

Back in the day (aka a couple of years back when I first started on the journey of exclusively figuring out how to lower HumanDebt and enable humanity in tech), I spent quite a lot of time being up in arms about “the people people” and how they shouldn't have let all this debt accumulate in the...

Burning Our People Out

Burning Our People Out

Let’s presume who works from where were resolved. Crystal clear, set in stone, no ambiguity. How wonderful would life be? Team/collaborative work when we are best primed for it in joyous, fun, creative and innovative meetings of psychologically safe and tight-knit teams in inspiring...

Bad Signs - Good Signs

Bad Signs - Good Signs

Hello everyone, long time no write! Hope you enjoyed the break :) Who knew launching a unicorn search (companies I can rid of HumanDebt™ and help win at culture and therefore performance so I showcase them in my 4th book) and editing my "Tech-Led Culture" book was going to be this intensive?!?...

Everyone Is on the Spectrum

Everyone Is on the Spectrum

Today’s article was going to be about the term “DevOps Culture” as it intrigues me both in terminology, definition and (feeble and spotty) execution. But that article will have to wait and instead, I will possibly annoy some of my both-newsletters-subscribers. As I said before, the intersection...

Autism and I

Autism and I

One of my many pet peeves is being a victim. I stay away from telling my life story as it sounds like it’s made up to be laced with these many horrific moments and hardships at every corner. I try not to delve into that part, nor on being a woman, an immigrant, neuro-divergent or the mother of a...
