## Gap Analysis in DevOps 

[Gap Analysis in Devops](https://www.annemariecharrett.com/gap-analysis-in-devops/) is this month's article written by [Katya Obring](https://www.annemariecharrett.com/author/katja/) where she talks about the value a quality coach can generate by "mining" the gap. She gives tips to get started, the importance of feedback and aligning with organisational values. Well worth a read. Thanks, Katya for writing a guest post.

## I am the power

And you are, too. We all are. Check out my leadership post that explains we all have energy within us; it's how we shape and frame it. This is one of those life lessons post. Owning and shaping your life takes courage and commitment, and it has brought me deep happiness and contentment. Perhaps not an article for everyone, but who knows, maybe someone out there will find it useful! 

[I am the powerTo be precise, I am the energy. Power is energy applied. Power can be positive or negative. Energy just is. And that’s what I have. We all have it. But most times, it doesn’t feel like it, especially if things are not working out the way we want.
