One of the strangest experiences living in Germany is the love of #Datenschutz (data privacy). Companies call you with your contact details and still have to "verify" you, even though they called you!

Posting this after running a workshop to midnight last night. I don't normally run training so late, but one of the wonders of modern tech (and post-pandemic remote working) is that I can support leaders and managers in other parts of the world 🥳

Excited to deliver the opening talk for day two of #CTOCraft London where I’ll be talking about CTO archetypes

It’s one of the reasons I like to focus on leadership as a verb, rather than a noun. “Demonstrating leadership” can be done by everyone regardless of their title, role or position. Not always easy, but doable

Many people want to know how to build highly effective teams and are unaware of the research Google did 10 years 😅 ago about the characteristics of highly effective teams. Here's my take on Project Aristotle and how leaders can use it to build highly effective teams. www.patkua.com/blog/project...

I'm excited to speak at CTO Craft Con: London, 10th-11th March! I'll be giving a new talk, "The CTO Spectrum" to talk about some of the archetypes I've come across in my career, and even support today as a CTO Coach.

Slide title with text "The CTO Spectrum - Which archetype are you?"

I like to run a lightweight hashtag#retrospective at the end of my workshops as a way of getting feedback. I usually get some feedback on the "Do Differently", but this is the first time I can remember where it was completely empty 😅

TIL that Scotland (and Northern) has different public holidays (i.e. bank holidays) than England/Wales 😅 For some reason I assumed they'd share the same Easter holidays 🤷

Last week, during a Technical Leadership Masterclass in #Norway I learned that being called a “Potato” 🥔 means being an all rounder 😂

It's that time of year, where I have to retrain typing 2025 instead of 2024 😅

Blog post: I wrote up a huge article with photos and takeaways from every session I saw at YOW! this year (which was almost all of them). Thanks to all the speakers, volunteers, and the YOW team for making it happen! www.web-goddess.org/archive/26558

It's coming up to the end of the year, so due to popular demand, I'm sharing an updated end-of-year Retrospective template for 2024. Make a copy of this template and use it to reflect on this year 🥳 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Pat Kua @patkua.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

At #Yow24 and @allenholub.bsky.social reinforcing some of the ideas from my Technical Leadership Masterclass… “The language of higher of management is money” (Yes! And I would also add time)

Pat Kua @patkua.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

I look forward to heading down under to present a new talk at YOW! Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, "Level Up: Choosing the Technical Leadership Path"

Pat Kua @patkua.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Exciting news to share! I'm speaking at hashtag#CTOCraftCon London next year (Mar 10/11)! I'll discuss different CTO archetypes and the dynamics that drive the "shape" of the CTO role.

Erm… not sure why the first account is following me. Exercising my first block on this platform. At least block really block here instead of “mute” 😂

Noticing how most notifications on the *old* platform are from people I don’t even follow and pushing content I don’t care about. Here it seems to be different 👏

One of the fun things of having a developer background is it’s easy to automate repetitive tasks!

Pat Kua @patkua.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Hi folks! I haven't been very active on here although I've had my account for a while. Give the 🫠 state on Twitter, I thought I'd try to use this a bit more 👋 Would love to hear how you're using/finding it so far and any differences

Pat Kua @patkua.bsky.social · 04/10/2023

This is just a reminder that self-care is essential to lead others effectively. I'm sure many have suffered with that over-stressed leader who forgets to take time out.
