I’ve been working in financial industry for many years. I’ve been developing electronic trading systems, so my main focus was on improving financial transactions, since it’s the way how my company makes business. But, as a formal development manager and an informal agile leader, I’ve started focusing also on other types of transactions – transactions between people. In order to improve the communication between people I’ve started using the ”Transactional Analysis” theory, created by psychiatrist Dr. Eric Berne. In my interactive talk, I’m presenting the basic parts of this theory, as well as I’m showing how it helps me in agile leading, mentoring and coaching. My main focus is on the ”games people play”. A game is an ongoing series of recurring set of transactions, progressing to a well-defined, predictable outcome. People are ”playing games” constantly, in daily communication.
So if you are interested to hear more about how an engineer – me, has interpreted a theory from psychology and is applying it in practice as an agile leader, please welcome to my talk!
NOTE: I don’t know what the ”Option 6” format is, but I plan my session as an interactive talk.
