Stop getting angry that you're company isn't more AGILE!

It's human nature that causes digital transformations to fail. I spent most of my career trying to help companies be agile.

But people in positions of power are often driven by greed and the illusion of control, and they won't support efforts that require them to change.

I had a nasty bout of insomnia in April of 2017 where I had to resign from my job. I spent the 8 months that followed healing, researching, and trying to understand where I went wrong.

I'm no "guru" and I certainly don't know everything about this industry - but after working with 30+ companies I've seen some patterns.

This year I want to help you avoid the pain I went through by having a healthier, more sustainable career in software development!
