In this thoughful conversation with host Jennifer Bunk we dive into a number of subjects. I explain the origins of my conference talk and we discuss how to talk about feelings. As part of that we discuss how I think about them differently - which is part of why I want to share my ideas. We touch on meditation, and mindset rituals. I also talk about my growth mindset and how that led me to start speaking, as well as advice on how to get started giving talks.
I talk with the panel at Greater Than Code about my ideas, we cover:
– John’s Superpower: Talking About Feelings in Public
– Programmers and Feelings
– Feelings As Addictions, Comparing Your Experiences to Others’ Experiences, and Setting Boundaries
– Cognitive Deficits of Not Handling Emotions and Cognitive Benefits of Developing Fluency with Emotions
“Practice doesn’t make perfect; practice makes permanent.” ~ Katrina Owen
– Negative Effects on Teams When Individuals Refuse to Acknowledge Emotions
– Influencing Emotions and Emotional Responses
