Building Resiliance with Agile2025 Keynote Speaker Tricia Broderick
Dave Prior interviews Tricia Broderick for the Agile 2025 pre-conference, focusing on her keynote on building resilience. Tricia discusses the challenges of the current job market, including high unemployment and overworked employees. She emphasizes the importance of resilience and community support. Tricia also highlights the upcoming AI Readiness for Professionals course, starting August 6, which aims to help professionals stay competitive in an AI-driven world. The conversation touches on the emotional toll of supporting others and the need for empathy and practical support.

Key Takeaways
- Resilience is essential in our current world of work due to a challenging job market and overwhelming workloads.
- Empathetic people struggle with the emotional toll of trying to support numerous friends and colleagues who are out of work or struggling.
- Community and in-person connections, like at the Agile conference, provide a vital source of restoration and support.
- Building personal resilience can be achieved by focusing on what you can control, such as limiting news consumption and performing small acts of kindness.
- Tricia will use her keynote to honor four mentors who are no longer with us but had a significant generational impact on her career.
