Our in-person events are making a comeback that you won't want to miss. Meet local agilists of all experience levels and domains to network and learn something new. This month we have **Shelby Turk** from Agile Velocity who will lead us through providing feedback and embracing difficult conversations.

**May I ask you a question?**
Our world is rapidly changing, especially within the Agile community. We are now more aware of the weight of words, but have we become too aware? For a high-perfoming team and organization, the ability to provide feedback is critical but in this day in age, it can create anxiety and fear. Fear of saying the wrong thing, fear of looking foolish, and even fear of retaliation.

How can agilists encourage their teams to give feedback, make mistakes and grow past that anxiety? In this session, we will walk through past experiences, failures and successes, and how to break antipatterns in order to leave with new ideas to bring back to your workspace.

Please sign up if you plan to attend so that we can plan accordingly. Send questions to cpo@agileaustin.org

**Remote Process**

Our process is in flux -- we're experimenting with new moderation and recording techniques, so *please be on time* and *please be patient*. And expect a call for participation -- we want this to be *your* book club.

**Discussion Notes**

for this and all our books may be found [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxDEAm8kaxz3Y2JtX25vYkR1LWs?resourcekey=0-ZDjTg-2g4E_vYz1rn4J-Rw) (this recently changed). Notes are open to comment by anyone (please do!) and you'll also find how to get **REIMBURSEMENT** for books and the **READING LIST** for possible future books. (Discussion notes may or may not be taken in future -- we're experimenting to see what's valuable.)

**About Book Club**

We meet most months the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, so you can put that in your calendar. When and if we resume physical meetings we'll feed you, and if you participate in most of the sessions, we'll even reimburse you for the book, so save that receipt.

We have not recorded Book Club sessions in the past, but that could change:

**Recording Disclosure**

"AgileAustin has the right to record any hosted event which includes, but is not limited to, Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Monthly Meetings, Conferences, and special events. By registering for, or attending an Agile Austin hosted event, you are giving AgileAustin consent to record and post recorded content containing your image, voice and name at a minimum, online. For remote events, you have the option to turn off your camera, mute your microphone and hide your name."
