Simon Harris

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the Country on which I live, and the value and the significance of those people and their history.

My friends call me Sampy.

I’ve had the pseudonym “Haruki Zaemon” since I first lived in Japan.

Raising a family of three teenage-ish children and one grandparent, with Jess.

Once made a joke about non-dairy crema.

Opinions are sometimes mine, sometimes others, rarely substantiated.

I post musings, share links I liked, and briefly review books I’ve read, on a range of topics including Psychological Safety, Software Engineering, Organisational Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, Leadership, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
