[reproducing a blog entry from the XP Day Germany blog]
I’m excited to be running the “Resistance as a Resource” workshop at XP Days Germany in November. The workshop will be an excellent opportunity to learn about different forms of resistance to change, what might cause such behavior, and what to do about it in order to turn resistance into a resource.
The session is centered around a game carrying the workshop’s title, invented by Dale H. Emery. Me and Dale are both keen on seeing the game in action and I for one am looking forward to a lot of fun only surpassed by a lot of learning ;)
Hoping to see you there, too!
Some two weeks ago I promised to blog more about the upcoming XP Days conference in Germany.
Well, I have some news. Maybe. In case you weren't already aware, the conference program is online (without session abstracts at the time of writing this). As I already told earlier, I'm (co)hosting not one but two sessions during the day. We're going to do some small tweaks here and there for the Coding Tournament in response to some great feedback. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the same awesome energy we saw back in XP2006!
Oh, and regarding the "private life" stuff I hinted at in the previous blog entry, this is what I started doing. (That's not me in the picture, though, but otherwise that's what it looks like) It's a great feeling and I highly recommend giving it a shot yourself.

So it turns out that we'll be running the Coding Tournament again with Markus in the German XP Day conference in November. It seems weird forms of poker are really picking up these days ;)
I'll also be running a workshop titled "Resistance As A Resource", closely following Dale Emery's original idea. Me and Dale are both anxious to learn how the game works out there in the Wild Wild WestHamburg.
You can bet on me blogging more about these sessions in the near future. Now, though, I need to run. A busy and exciting week ahead of me in terms of private life. I'll blog more about that, too, in a few days.
