Meetings Can Trick Your Emotions

Meetings are often times the only chance to have a face-to-face conversations with your co-workers and can occasionally end in good feelings that only fade as the week goes on. In today's episode, we're talking about the value of meetings, understanding the work and what needs to be done in order to keep the work moving forward. How can we avoid the false sense of positivity that can occur after meetings and how can we engage in the right kinds of meetings? 🙏Thanks to our Sponsor: Abstract Visit www.abstract.com and sign your team up for a 14-day free trial. 🧡 Leave a Review If you're enjoying the show and want to support the content head over to iTunes and leave a review!

Preserving Subcultural Language

Vocabulary is the basis of language and unique cultural meaning. Developers share a common code and have created their own vocabulary and language over time.
