Listen "Understanding Psychological Safety And Asking Questions To Stay Relevant - Deanna Stanley"
Episode Synopsis
Got psychological safety?
In this episode of the Security Repo Podcast we sit down with Deanna Stanley to learn about psychological safety and the framework she has coauthored on building the layers of trust within organizations. We also dig into a few interesting stories from her time at MITRE and end up with some very encouraging words on how to stay relevant in a constantly shifting field.
Deanna started her career as an embedded programmer in the telecommunications industry, and was a significant contributor to Northern California having no internet for 2 days back in the late 90s. She now helps sponsor transition to Agile and DevOps and spends her days screaming “it’s the people, not the tools!” Deanna’s love of her life is her dog Grimbal, which is why she’s always covered in fur.
