Key-Learnings

  • Why self-awareness is a hidden driver of quality, and how its absence impacts collaboration, trust, and delivery.
  • How to spot blind spots in communication, decision-making, and team dynamics using lightweight tools.
  • Practical ways to scale self-awareness in your team and your role, starting with micro-habits and reflective practice.

Unlocking team quality and collaboration by turning the mirror inward; why self-awareness might be the most overlooked tool of all.

Some quality issues aren’t in the code… they’re in the conversation.

Agile promises better collaboration, faster feedback, and higher quality, but what happens when your team has the right process and wrong dynamics? When decisions are made in fear, feedback is filtered, or conflict goes unspoken? Welcome to the human edge of agility.

In this talk, we won’t talk about the usual tools, metrics, or frameworks. Instead, we’ll explore what happens when you turn the mirror inward, and how increasing your self-awareness can unlock better outcomes for your team. Through real stories, powerful reflection and practical techniques, you’ll learn to spot the invisible forces that shape how we collaborate and lead.

Expect an energizing and honest conversation about how human behavior impacts quality, and what you can do to shift it.

If you’re ready to elevate quality by leading from within, this session is for you.
