Aanu Gopald joined the DC Scrum User Group on December 11, 2020 to present “Stop and Smell the Roses”

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The saying “stop and smell the roses.” doesn’t mean to simply smell flowers; it means to live in the moment with a great appreciation for the past, the present, the things around you and the future.

Year 2020 has been filled with many ups and downs for everyone. It’s very easy to get completely caught up in thinking of the bad and the ugly that we often forget to take the time to appreciate the wonderful things happening in our present lives and the beautiful dreams for the future. While it’s easy to thank others for their generosity, practicing self-gratitude often slips under the radar. In this session, we will use different different tools to explore how to turn that gratitude inward rather than outward.

Here is the video and slide deck of the presentation.
