    <content type="html">Trust is at the core of successful, functional, effective software teams. It defines whether our teams are happy at work and is the basis of retention.

Trust is at the center of whether people perceive us to be good at our jobs and how your team sees you as a leader.

But what is trust? How do you know when it's missing? And how do you fix it when it's gone?

Let's discuss the elements of trust, the patterns of behavior the make or break trust, and what you can do to refactor trust on your team.</content>

    <title>Frameworks for Feedback (Long version) - 2016 May Self Conference</title>
    <content type="html">Code reviews, stand up, retros, and performance reviews — all acknowledge the importance of communication and feedback and they are good starts. But they don’t tell you how to give negative feedback or ensure that you, as a teammate or manager, hear the small things before they become big things.

Long version includes discussion of written feedback and managing up.

Let’s talk about feedback and examine frameworks for how to ask for and frame feedback effectively. Not all situations call for the same type of feedback and some are more sensitive than others. We will look at Non-violent communication, techniques from family and marriage therapy, as well as more traditional frameworks for feedback.</content>

    <title>Incremental Design: A conversation with a designer and a developer</title>
    <content type="html">Developers: how many times have you had to completely rip out your hard earned code for a totally new site design? 
Designers: how many times has a re-design taken 4 times as long as the developer said it would and not looked good in the end?
Change all that by using an incremental approach to design. Set up your code to change all the buttons at once or prioritize design changes to make each small change good enough for production.
A designer and developer will talk about the challenges and joys of making this process work in two production sites.
