All in together! Scottish Agile & Tech communities present: Sathpal Singh

Lean Agile Edinburgh are excited to be joining up with local communities Lean Agile Glasgow, BCS Edinburgh, the Scottish Testing Group and Heart of Agile Scotland for our final meetup of the year. This will be an online meetup with guest speaker Sathpal Singh, kicking off at 6pm.

Sathpal will be giving an insightful talk about Getting into a Flow State with Adlerian Psychology, which he presented at Lean Agile Scotland 2024 earlier this year.

Getting into a flow state with Adlerian psychology

Effecting meaningful change and adding value is something most Agile practitioners are striving for. This can often be a battle with existing embedded ideas, a resistance to change and the system as a whole. Marry this with our own imposter syndrome and inner conflicts and you have a perfect storm. This is a story of stumbling upon a lesser-known psychology and the profound impact it had on a rethink in attitude, how we see ourselves and the interconnectedness of the systems in which we operate.

We’ll cover:

• the benefits of a flow state, and how to understand when you're in it
• an introduction to Adlerian psychology
• motivational maps and how they help you understand what motivates you
• bringing it all together with an exploration of the 7 living systems principles.
