"We are all works in progress. We are never finished and it's useful to look at different theories and see what we can apply to ourselves at any given point."

"We need to try to see things from the other person's viewpoint. When we don't take this into consideration but just jump onto the moral high ground and label someone, that too is behaviour that makes us the 'goodie' and the other the 'baddie'."

"... This habit will help you take responsibility for your response rather than blaming the other person."

"So instead of ‘she is irritating’ or ‘he is not listening to me’, switch to noticing ‘I feel irritated’ or ‘I feel unheard’, thus taking responsibility for your reactions and realising that just because someone isn’t doing what you want them to, it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with them..."

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"We have a tendency to want or admire qualities in others that are underdeveloped in ourselves, but when a crisis comes along, we get het up because they are not more like us."

Thank you, Bruce. Have a lovely holiday yourself! Enjoy!

Thanks to all the trainers, the LimitedWIP Society and Kanban University for the constant support and exchange. And, of course, thanks to all the Kanban teams I had the pleasure to work with.

In the following years, I applied Kanban with/at clients, and in the last two years, I finally completed the necessary Kanban trainings for the KCP with my colleagues Wolfgang Wiedenroth and Sven Günther from it-agile GmbH.

My journey with Kanban started eleven years ago at one of the first Kanban trainings by David Anderson in Germany (organized in Munich by Dr. Arne Roock). In late 2012, I attended the legendary 3-day Master Class in Karlsruhe, where we managed to keep Carlos in his job during the Get Kanban game.
