Thoughts before MoTaCon: there goes the fear
Suzanne's topic really resonates with me. I feel like I've lived a lot of my career in fear! And, I feel lucky that I usually had a great team around me and felt confident that I could tackle whatever challenge scared me. I know I am going to get a lot of new ideas from this session!
Thoughts before MoTaCon: make it joyful
I'm grateful for people like Clare that remind us how important it is to enjoy ourselves at work as well as the rest of life. I do love the "aah" test!
Thoughts before MoTaCon: You are invited to a testing party, bring a Bug
Hah, I love your point about ignoring instructions! Everyone can join our test party about test parties, just bring your curiosity! We're putting the workshop together right now, it's so fun to plan. And will be even more fun at MoTaCon!
Thank you to the MoTaverse Community
Very cool! Congratulations!
