S4 Ep94: Hacking Humans with Patrycja Slawuta

Author: DevOps Institute January 18, 2023 Duration: 30:04
In this episode, Eveline Oehrlich is joined by Patrycja Slawuta to discuss her mission to give people and organizations clear frameworks and practical tools to "mine their own minds" to find purpose, clarity and alignment. 

Australia-based, NYC-educated and Poland-born researcher, entrepreneur and mindhacker.

Patrycja is a connoisseur of the complexity, nonlinearity and messiness of the human nature. Behavioral scientist by training, nerdy science and its application is her passion and work. After spending 10+ years in academia, Patrycja founded SelfHackathon, a NYC-based global boutique behavioural consultancy of scientists that applies evidence-based research to help organizations and enterprises navigate the complexities of human nature in the face of disruption, change and uncertainty.

Patrycja believes the human mind is the world’s most untapped natural resource. As such, her mission is to give people and organizations clear frameworks and practical tools to meaningfully and efficiently mine their own minds in order to find purpose, clarity and alignment. In her free time she runs marathons (28 so far), reads (audiobooks) and meditates. In that particular order.

Behind every line of code, server configuration, and deployment pipeline, there's a person with a story. The Humans of DevOps Podcast Series, from the DevOps Institute, moves beyond the technical manuals and toolchains to explore the lived experiences of the individuals shaping modern technology. This isn't a how-to guide; it's a series of conversations about the cultural shifts, philosophical challenges, and societal impacts woven into the fabric of DevOps practices. Each episode sits at the intersection of technology and humanity, discussing how news and trends affect real teams, and how the principles of collaboration and continuous improvement resonate far beyond the data center. You'll hear from practitioners, leaders, and thinkers who share their journeys, failures, and insights, revealing the human connections that make technological transformation possible. Tune into this podcast for a thoughtful, often surprising look at the people redefining how we build and operate the systems our world relies on, reminding us that progress is ultimately a human endeavor.
