I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned from all the mistakes I’ve made: helping people learn new things, or get better at things they already know. I write about it, and speak and facilitate workshops at meetups, conferences, and clients’ workplaces. I do a few talks and workshops a year, often with a friend who I can learn something from.
