Putting Humans First | Nicole Tropea
@puthumans1st-n.bsky.social
Passionate about innovation and human-centered solutions. I thrive on creativity, systemic thinking, and pragmatic action. Let's co-create a future where trust and people come first.
Tech without ethics? Agile without humanity?

Yields nothing long-term.

My compass: justice & sustainability.

Only then do solutions emerge that create real value and positively change the status quo.

Many talk 'Agile'.

Few truly LIVE the principles, especially around justice & genuine inclusion.

These aren't buzzwords; they're foundations for success.

Your take?

Is 'humanity' in tech a soft skill or a fierce competitive advantage?

My experience: the latter.

Teams that feel safe & valued INNOVATE.

Period.

Standard solutions for complex problems? Rarely the answer.

Real transformation requires courage to question the status quo.

With heart, mind & the will to shape a better future.
That's what I stand for. Who's in?

Managed complex int'l tech projects and Teams for years.

Simultaneously raised triplets.

Sometimes I wonder which was the bigger management challenge.

😉 The learnings from both cross-pollinate daily.

Got a big vision to make the world (even a tiny bit) better, but the path to reality feels rocky?

Let's talk.

I love making ambitious goals happen with heart, mind & courage.

Putting the person at the center with empathy is key to a more human world. It’s not easy, but every step counts. Thanks for the insight; it makes me reflect on how to live this way every day.
I think about this a lot. And how to think and talk and feel about it in ways that increase everyone’s humanity instead of doing the devil’s work for him by making it a competition. It’s hard tho.

I moved from Italy to Germany to learn german in 3 months.

34 years later, I'm still here. I've gained a family (4 children, 1 son and triplets (girls)), education and a carrier as IT Engineer and Agile Coach.

5 months ago I also become a German citizen. So cheers, or prost as us German say.
I moved from Iceland to Denmark in 2006 to study, and drink beer with my best friend.

9 years later, and I'm still here. I've gained a family, education and a carrier in software development.

Yesterday I also become a Danish citizen. So cheers, or "skål" as us Danes say.

My future starts today.

If you crave meaning over monotony,
then start building your thing.

If you value connection over control,
then lead with empathy.

Your life shifts when your choices do.

Listen to your gut.

Serve others first.

Create every day.

Fail and learn fast.

That’s not just a routine
it’s how I built a life beyond the old economy.

Your life’s like a network:
Overloaded circuits crash it.

Strip away what doesn’t serve, boost the signals that matter - creativity, purpose, connection.

Watch it run smoother than ever.

Drop the 9-to-5 that’s draining you.

Build something - anything - that lights you up.

Embrace the chaos of change.

I did it with four kids and a mortgage. You’ve got this.

Hey, I hear you.

‘I can’t leave my job to chase creativity.’

I said that too, after 30 years in tech.

But here’s the truth: staying stuck costs more than starting small.

One step today beats a lifetime of ‘what ifs.

Dismissing it without engaging? That’s the real lazy take.
Using ChatGPT to sharpen my own thoughts doesn’t make them any less human. If anything, it helps me say what I actually mean. Tech isn’t the enemy — using it with intention is part of putting people first. Writing something with a tool doesn’t make it trash.

Think of emotional intelligence as your soul’s compass.

It steadies you through storms, points you to a life that hums with meaning.

You’re not lost - just finding your true north.

Feel the fear, then step anyway.

Feel the joy, then share it.

Feel the doubt, then rise above.

Emotional intelligence lights a life that’s yours - step by step, it’s all you.

What I experienced in the past:

I struggled with decisions.

My inner voice had the answers.
March 30, 2025 at 12:00 PM
My Principle:

Quiet your mind.

Listen deeply.

Act courageously.

What is yours?
March 29, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Listen to your inner voice.

Trust it.
Act on it.
Live by it.

This is the principle I follow in my daily journey.

March 28, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Inner voice:

Your compass in life’s storm.

Trust it to find true north.

Too many chase a success they don’t even want and wonder why they’re empty.

The fix?

Listen to your inner voice
it knows what you’re really looking for.

Today this message came to me:

Peace is not just the opposite of war, not just a period between two wars. Peace is more. Peace is the law of human life.

Follower growth stagnant?

3 fixes:

Content that engages (test what works).
Post regularly for more reach.
Drive engagement by interacting in comments.
