I am sure you would have heard this term ‘Learning machine’ to talk about oneself or others. The first time I heard something similar to this was probably in the movie First Blood where they refer to Rambo as a ‘Killing Machine’.

Transformation means a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance. And I get it that most transformations that are evident and get popular in social media and so on are transformations of appearance… And it is interesting to note that even for human beings the transformation is always hailed as physical while the major transformation is what can happen within us.

Yesterday when I wrote about Toxic Positivity there was another Toxicity that was bothering me. This is Toxic Productivity. In the same way as the other, Toxic Productivity is this obsession with being productive in every waking minute we have in the world. May be even increasing the waking hour we have.

Recently I see many articles on employee mental health and even companies being concerned about it. Also companies have been started to just address this space.

Change is always an interesting topic for me, may be because we talk about it a lot in our agile world. But the change I wanted to talk today is about personal change. It is true that on a personal level change happens always. Some knowingly and some unknowingly. And at other times we have to initiate a change.
