What kids can teach us about building effective teams

Team of likeminded individuals

I gave a talk at DevOpsDays DC about lessons we can learn from children that can be applied to building our engineering teams.

At Teaching Strategies we help create learning environment for children to assess and support their needs through formative years. We take a whole-child educational approach — giving educators a framework to assess each child’s across multiple developmental areas, including literacy, cognitive, physical and social-emotional, among others. But sometimes, the traits and outcomes we see in kids can (and should) be translated to adults to help inform some of the decisions made in building effective and collaborative teams. In this talk I’ll cover a few key areas is which we all can learn from children.
