One more question... slides from #CAST2014 workshop

Questions are a powerful tool, and good questioning skills are extremely important for both people and in testing. Through effective use, we can engage in more effective learning, create outside-the-box thinking and start decision making conversations. Tony will explore the power of questions and their ability to make us and others think by looking at items such as the use of probing questions, tone and rephrasing. He will work through exercises to allow participants to practice some of what they are learning. Participants will walk away with ideas on how to sharpen their questioning skills to a fine tool which can be used to transform their every conversation and to increase their testing thinking. Questions can help create and negate, learn and teach, and stop and start projects, connections and relationships. Add this ability to your tool set.

I'm going to.....

So taking John's example I thought I'd share my plans for this year so far.

• I'm attending Test Bash 3 in Brighton in March.
• I'll be running a tutorial and giving a talk at Romanian Testing in May.
• Steve Green, Alan Richardson, James Lyndsay and I will be running Black Ops Testing in London in June. 
• I'll be running a workshop at CAST in New York in August.
• I'm organising (with Skillsmatter) and running a workshop at the Tester Gathering London Workshops in London in October.
• The London Tester Gathering will continue this year running roughly once a month.
• I am a judge for the Software Testing World Cup.

As far as I'm aware there are still tickets available for all but get in quick.

NB. Tickets not needed for the #TesterGathering
