Abstract: 

Small team dynamics bring their own set of challenges: lack of resources, limited support structures, high pressures, and constant change. Its vital to setup a definition of personal success to be able to weather the storms or failures that come your way. This talk will cover one of the less intuitive but highly effective practices I have embraced.
