Swearing, Nudity and Other Vulnerable Positions
Over 3 months John recorded over 60 hours of interviews and spoke to some of the most respected people in the industry to produce an audio documentary that attempts to answer the question “What is safety? And why is it important anyway?”.
This highly interactive talk will present the findings and guide and challenge you through a journey to understanding safety.
This talk has grown as John created the new podcast The Agile Path. The first season on this podcast is about safety in teams. John has interviewed world renowned specialists in the field Christopher Avery, David Marquet, Jerry Weinberg, Esther Derby, Johanna Rothman, Woody Zuill and many more in over 60 hours of audio.
This has been a fascinating deep dive learning experience for John and he hopes to explore these insights with the audience.

Firebreak Tall Tales - A Break From Routine
Towards the end of last year, we decided to remove as many constraints as possible and let our let team at NHS.UK work on what they wanted for 2 weeks.
We borrowed the idea, and the name, from GOV.UK but of course they weren't the first and won't be the last.
This is our story. What worked, what didn't, what we will do differently next time and why we think you might want to consider one where you work.
