In our weekly brown bags, we share knowledge, teach soft skills, explain our tech and give everyone a chance to learn and teach.
Every week Wealthers from all
over the world gather to share their knowledge, personal passions and once in a way we throw in a company update. Our brown bags help us sharpen our presentation skills, get to know each other better and expanding our knowledge horizons. We cover topics ranging form our testing principles or how to be financially stable, to the history of music, how therapy can help or what it’s like to run the London marathon.

What strategies can we use in the face of so much uncertainty to give ourselves a fighting chance? For our latest brown bag our resident Nostradamus, UX Architect and Product Owner Marlin walked us through his method for making better decisions and taking calculated risks. Here is Marlin’s six-step process for making better decisions and taking calculated risks – the SKAIEE is the limit!
Our SEs Niroshan Jeyakumar, Dhanushka Gimhan and our QA Lead Svetlana Bobrova ran a “mind your language” style brown bag session – teaching us a little Russian, Sinhala and Tamil! So putting our learnings to good use – நன்றி/ස්තූතියි/cпасибо to them for a சிறப்பு/හොද/хорошо time!
This week personal trainer, Shiron Dev gave us a session on ergonomic workstation set up, the basics of good posture, and recovery exercises to help us with all the industry-standard neck/shoulder/back/hip complaints.
We found a neat ice breaker exercise with an anonymised excel sheet where we each had to write out things we love and liked about team members in this timed exercise. You’re busily complimenting people only to find your own row filling up with lots of love. Bonus – we went way over time. Lots of warm fuzzies this day.
