Motivation and Communication Coach |
We start with Me: living your values to create a brave new worldWhen hearing about motivation, people often think about behaviors that motivates them. However, research shows that is not behaviors that drives us, but values. This is one of the reasons why companies are focusing now on company values. A defined set of values, creates a company culture with a precise set of behaviors. But by doing so, companies don't realise they are creating clones. Creativity and innovation are driven by diversity, not by uniformity. The difference between coherence and alignement is the key here.

Online violence against women and digital transformationThe absent of women in different tech areas is making them invisible in the new reality that development is creating. As it happened before, when women couldn't vote or go to school, if the voice of the half of the humanity is not being heard, then the discrimination will arise stronger with the current tools. In this talk I would highlight how normalized is the online violence against women in social media and how important is to create trust and safe environments to allow women to grow into the technical paths but also for the diversity of data, for the good of the society and the… read more |

Team Leader at Moonfare |
Bring the harmony with Domain-driven design (DDD)Building a big enterprise project can be quite a challenge, especially when the wrong direction has been taken from the very beginning.

As a result - the written code is difficult to adjust and refactor, tasks are not finished on time and in general the code does not reflect what it was meant to.
