Rachel (Hebrew: רָחֵל, Modern Rakhél, Tiberian Rāḥēl) (Arabic: راحيل) was the favorite of Biblical patriarch Jacob's two wives as well as the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, two of the twelve progenitors of the tribes of Israel. The name "Rachel" is from an unused root meaning: "to journey as a ewe that is a good traveller." Rachel was the daughter of Laban and the younger sister of Leah, Jacob's first wife. Rachel was a niece of Rebekah (Jacob's mother), Laban being Rebekah's brother, making Jacob her first cousin.
Rachel is first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in Genesis 29 when Jacob happens upon her as she is about to water her father's flock. She was the second daughter of Laban, Rebekah’s brother. Jacob had traveled a great distance to find Laban. Rebekah had sent him there to be safe from his furious twin brother, Esau.
During Jacob's stay, Jacob fell in love with Rachel and agreed to work seven years for Laban in return for her hand in marriage. On the night of the wedding, the bride was veiled and Jacob did not notice that Leah, Rachel's older sister, had been substituted for Rachel. Whereas "Rachel was lovely in form and beautiful," "Leah had tender eyes". Later Jacob confronted Laban, who excused his own deception by insisting that the older sister should marry first. He assured Jacob that after his wedding week was finished, he could take Rachel as a wife as well, and work another seven years as payment for her. When God “saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb”, (Gen 29:31) and she gave birth to four sons.

This video was recorded at GOTO London 2015 http://gotoldn.com Rachel Davies - Coach at Unruly & Author of Agile Coaching Once upon a time, eXtreme Programming (XP) was new and exciting with radical new practices like pair programming and test-driven development. Fifteen years passed by. Scrum has long since become the mainstream approach to Agile and it seems Agile is more about project management than software development.

At Unruly we have been applying eXtreme Programming (XP) from the start. In 8 years, we have grew our technical team so we can develop new product offerings with rich user-experience while improving our underlying infrastructure to handle a growing amount of traffic and data. Traditionally XP relies on an on-site customer to help developers understand what’s most important to develop next. So how do we make plans with internal stakeholders spread across the globe? When startups grow they often create departments to interface with the business and delegate decisions to Product Managers. At Unruly, we turn this on it’s head, our product development teams are responsible for identifying the most valuable features to work on next and work with business stakeholders directly. We’ve learned th...

Building Learning into Team Life by Rachel Davies @rachelcdavies When we make time and space for learning within teams, the products and services we build benefit from new ideas and innovative solutions. Team members also tend to find work more satisfying and enjoyable, which helps company recruitment and staff retention. Many managers and coaches/scrum masters struggle when it comes to practical ways to encourage people to keep learning at work. It can help to build in time for learning, exploration and discovery into team/organization process but how can you get started? Perhaps more challenging, how can you keep learning initiatives going without taking on the admin yourself? http://www.nordevcon.com/nordevcon2015/ http://www.nordevcon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/RachelDavies-Bu...

When you come to a conference like this, you pick up new ideas that you'd like to try when you get back to work. However, you may feel like you hit a brick wall when it comes persuading your team to try the idea out. Resistance is very common in organisations large and small. As an agile coach, Rachel has learned that forcing adoption of new practice results in minimal compliance. Teams who don't want to be try the new approach often fall back to old ways of doing things. Come to get some tips for getting to the heart of resistance and how to dissolve barriers to adopting new working practices. We'll also do some practical exercises in Force-Field Analysis to generate ideas that get your team moving in the right direction. Présentation disponible ici : http://slidesha.re/1kHSm97
