John Roberts’ Post

I am reviewing milestones as I live. Time has given me opinions from experts that walk me through their Markov Chains of most probable dirty laundry of reasons. I have yet to blame a textbook. This example of a work around is because failures are abandoned thoughts. But what is our best tutor? Success where everyone gets s*** faced or sobering failure? Several factors lead to my successes. In public school spending time with my own thinking. Following directions given by experts before starting. Working alone. Studying all the answers on a test; not the questions. Learning that nothing usually comes naturally. Finishing a job is a job in itself; earasing all signs that work was done. Standing back and being able to call the situation a start better than not started. Being ready to finish based upon an epiphany. Keeping a heavens viewpoint of activity. Contritness. Reviewing this my voice lends itself to learning that the street will work around governmental issues left for them to vote on tomorrow.

By involving specialists from different departments in a collective challenge, you get a broader view of the problems that need to be solved. Read more: https://hubs.li/Q02qf3RW0 Post written by Vasilii Kiselev, Forbes Councils Member.

Latest Project Delivered

Could you apply this reflection on life to that of a project in your portfolio ? Or is it at odds with the whole basis of a project having a start and end date? Maybe .. in my mind a project has a from and a to state and it’s getting to that end state as fast as you can but recognising you will know more tomorrow than you know today and things may need to change (including the end state) Take a read (it makes no references to projects and change but as I say couod it apply to a project) #projectmanagement #targetstate #unknownknowns

I thought for a long time how to write a fancy LI post about the view from Noah Chomsky on Adam Smith, especially what the agile movement is doing in these regards, mainly labor division, but als conditions for successful markets. Read just the first paragraph from Chomsky: https://lnkd.in/dVxUS_wH

Easing in to a project with valuable discovery and research allows us to accelerate out of it, winning the race and crossing the finish line with the most valuable win for our client and the users. Quick wins are a defence mechanism for those who are worried they'll be found out for not knowing what they're doing. They're invariably not valuable or sustainable. MVPs are a legitimised process for hiding this failing and avoiding research. Efficacy is what the client is paying for, not delivering pretty things quickly that ultimately fail. Speak with the client through the narrative of efficacy, not the narrative of cost and, by extension, speed.

Amidst the chaos of loss and grief, the trials of health, and the demands of single motherhood intertwined with the responsibilities of nurturing a fledgling business, I carved out moments of reflection. Each night, dedicating at least two hours—sometimes more—I delved into the lessons of the day. These brief interludes became a profound journey of self-discovery, teaching me the art of transforming reactions into powerful, purposeful actions. This practice was instrumental in my personal growth, a testament to the belief that while none of us is perfect, we all have the capacity for improvement.With this spirit of continuous self-improvement, I am proud to announce that I have completed the foundational training in AVP, a nationally recognized certification. This is but the first step; I eagerly anticipate advancing to the next levels, with the goal of becoming a certified AVP Facilitator.As I look to the future, I am excited for "Dee's Safe Space" to embody this training, to weave these experiences into the fabric of our collective recovery from loss—a journey that we navigate for a lifetime.
