It was lovely to chat with you at MoTaCon last week ❤️ 

It’s a good job Rutherford P Dog can’t read. He is not normally a massive fan of post(persons)

The most Brighton thing

This must be the most Brighton thing I’ve seen all week.

It was a great time being around the swag corner. Small chit chats, and fun!

MoTaverse is really a universe in so many senses. Testing is a big planet in the MoTaverse. The Testing Planet (Physical Newspaper) really summarises it very well. Long live The Testing P...

Back home after an amazing few days with the team of teams Thank you to all involved it was a blast

Anyone else rocking their new MoTaCon ’25 swag at work today?

It was super fun and exciting to complete each activity in the list.

Absolutely exhausted today but what an amazing two days! Long ol' journey home last night and I wished I could have stayed at the social for longer but we go again next ywar 😄

Thanks for a brilliant workshop Kat!

A golden platter won't save quality, but we might

I’m excited to share that, alongside TeamMoT, we’ll be gathering 50 Leaders in Quality on September 30th. What looks like a one-day event is actually the beginning of a bigger journey: a committ...

As teased yesterday, I made a rug of Bug!

"Because it's Friday and I've not done a dad joke in a while. I know where the door is, thanks. Quality is like underwear: if it’s doing its job, you shouldn’t have to think about it ... but you’ll definitely notice when it’s missing."

"You’re right: a lot of people are doing strategic, high-impact work at the same level as their peers in engineering, product, or platform. Why don’t we call them what they are? When we don’t name these roles clearly, two things happen. One, the work s..."

I noticed Kat Obring talking about the lack of leadership roles. I love to see it. It's a big reason why we have our Leading with Quality conversations, event and community efforts around it. In...

You've heard the cliché, it's not what you know, it's who you know. When people see you as a leader and look to you for answers, you can't know everything. Invest time in building relationships not...

Thanks for accepting the "Share one leadership idea that you practice" challenge. Grateful for your post: Leadership isn’t about having the smartest answers.

Leadership isn’t about having the smartest answers.

When you shift from “Here’s what I think we should do” to “What would change if we understood why this keeps happening?”, you stop being the tester with opinions and start being the person who unlo...
