Mindset Mastery: Switching from Fixed Habits to Embracing Agile
summary
An Agile Mindset Kata maps five fields so people write a concrete challenge → assumptions → barriers → shift → try and then run short experiments. The talk shows it used with freelancers (nine months of job hunting turned into re-employment), with seven mixtapes and measurable DJ wins as a side effect, and in Miro with seven cyber‑security teams where one person stayed unconvinced but most found actionable shifts. Practical aids mentioned: high‑performance planner, accountability buddies, team‑toxin coaching.
