It’s still true and available. You can also book time with me in 2026.

Recognizing what you can only influence helps free you from the frustration of trying to change what you can’t directly control, and unlocks a path forward. It’s what makes Circles & Soup one of my favorite activities when feeling overwhelmed. From @dianaofportland.bsky.social:

Hello Beautiful #Vienna! I I’m so happy to return for a few weeks. Hope to meet a few of your citizens (and my colleagues) while I’m here. Hope to lay the groundwork for coming back more frequently in future. It’s been about a decade since I visited before. What’s new?

In or near Vienna, Austria, in June? Join me in a 1-day workshop (or 2 or all 3). It’s a very rare chance, who knows when I’ll be back. ;) 3 topics, which will be on your learning edge? Grab a colleague. Attend together! sinnvoll-fuehren.com/diana-larsen... Thanks @ralph72.bsky.social for hosting!

It’s both exciting and difficult to believe that I’ll be in Brugg-Windisch Switzerland next week this time. Possibly exploring the area, probably still putting final polish on the workshop I’ll host on Monday, 2 June at #XP2025 xpconference.org

Whew! I’m daunted and excited. Traveling to Europe for 8 weeks. 28 May to July 23. Attending five conferences, facilitating 5 workshops (½ & full day), & have ~16 unplanned weekdays scattered throughout. Open to plan events, workshops, AMAs, retro circles for leaders, etc. LMK what you’d like!

I love this quote from Roy Kent so much

The secret to truly autonomous teams is now revealed! Watch Jakob Wolman and @nativewired.com 's talk to discover the leadership principles that create the right conditions for team autonomy. Full recording available on our Agile meets Architecture channel. youtu.be/Oz1XHWNZbM4 #amaberlin

For my butterflies in Denver, I will attend #ODF2025 (the Organization Design Forum conf) at the Curtis on April 28-May 1 and travel there again the week before #MHA2025 and #Agile2025, that’s ~July 23-Aug 1. Get in touch if you’d like a #visit.

For those history buffs... Today I just published some of my original papers on responsibility-driven design, object-oriented frameworks, oo research, handling exceptions in Use Cases, and color Smalltalk. See: wirfs-brock.com/rebecca/pape... (scroll down towards the bottom)...

WIRED tested the popular AI video generator from OpenAI and found that it amplifies sexist stereotypes and ableist tropes, perpetuating the same biases already present in AI image tools.

In my career, I have encountered people like Elon Musk. People who are bad at the job & think facts are a distraction from their “genius” intellects. I always hope for a redemption arc, but I have only seen it happen when they aren’t allowed to do more harm.

I'm *really* looking forward to this! It's a pleasure and a privilege to speak about the wider system.

You still have time to sign up for the lottery at agilecoachcamp.de #ACCDE25 is a 4 day camp for people interested in agile in a great venue surrounded by trees. They share, learn, and create knowledge via open space, and in-between they eat well, play games, talk, take walks, and enjoy themselves.

Very helpful!
