Take care of ... quality

Create Memory
A dark purple background with small white stars and a larger purple and pink circular shape in the upper right. A white speech bubble in the center contains the quote: "Take care of yourself, take care of your colleagues, take care of your team and good quality products normally come out the other end." Below the quote, aligned to the right, is "- Nicola Sedgwick". In the lower left corner is a cartoon brain wearing glasses and a bowtie, with two black circles below for eyes. In the upper right corner is a logo for Ministry of Testing.
In this memory: Nicola Sedgwick Rosie Sherry

Nicola Sedgwick shared these wise words during a TestBash talk in Brighton in 2016. And Rosie Sherry recently reminded us that "At the heart of Quality is Care is the idea that we continually make attempts to spread quality everywhere."

Care themes continue to reveal themselves and evolve, and it's nice to join the dots as we continue to amplify those who are leading with quality. Nicola is part of the leadership team running the 1-day Leading with Quality event. https://www.ministryoftesting.com/events/leading-with-quality

Here's a link to that 2016 talk: Do Testers Need a Thick Skin? Or Should We Admit We’re Simply Human? – Nicola Sedgwick https://www.ministryoftesting.com/testbash-sessions/do-testers-need-a-thick-skin-or-should-we-admit-we-re-simply-human-nicola-sedgwick
