Feelings on the DORA Report and Burnout

(Cross-posted between all my channels, full version and bonus content on substack ) and an author’s read-through available for a one-time recording purchase here

One word for my (undoubtedly startled) Medium followers who may not have followed me as part of the 122.000 subscribers on LinkedIn, if you came here back in the early thousands :) for the snark and the fighting the banking giants and telling it straight about the industry back when “the industry’ was just Finance and we were battling Tech Debt with FinTech, you’ll find a much more cape-fatigued version of me now since admitting I’m an Accidental Social Entrepreneur because I started battling Human Debt with Tech and creating Tech-Led Cultures that put People Before Tech as I said in my last two books. So please stay — it’s just a bigger battle, but everyone can help by not being a HumanDebt Denier (aka the Business Prevention Department Fearful non-leaders)!

As if this weren’t long enough (and it is, consider yourselves warned! though you could subscribe and have me read it through or buy the one-off recording here), let me start with some apologies and some confessions — I have been slacking on writing true things on here because of two things:

Firstly, this space feels less and less interested in real dialogue as it becomes inundated with recession-related, uncollaborative, fear-based behaviours.

Secondly, and more importantly, to be “NeuroSpicy and not Masking” — or at least “NeuroDivergent and not Impression Managing against it” at work on ADHD Month when I keep insisting it’s imperative to have #AuthenticLeadership- the actual reason is that I get burned out writing “the real” is that my team made me “Stack” away — heh!
