Isabelle is a agile coach, change maker and leadership coach full of energy and with a contagious laugh. She has experience of several agile transformations, coaching management teams, leaders, product owners and teams. She has a passion for modern agile leadership and experience with personnel responsibility in the role as development manager.
She has fifteen years of experience developing digital products and user experiences in roles as scrum master, product manager, agile coach and manager. In her assignments her focus is building sustainable and high performing organisations, teams and individuals.
“I believe in people, in their ability to innovate, change and make a difference. Thats why Im an Agile coach. Being a coach has meant that I get to help others see the full potential, in a company, a team and in themselves”. Isabelle
Isabelle believes that modern leadership is about trusting in everyone’s ability. That everyone wants to do their best. As a leader you can create a culture where people’s input, experiences and intelligence is welcomed and appreciated. Being open to new possibilities and have the courage to try something new and create an environment where people dare to try their ideas, where it is ok to fail. That’s when magic can happen. The magic of people contributing, sharing, coming together to create something awesome.
Some of my blog posts:
Free Poster: Stress in a Nutshell – and the connection to Leadership
“In a knowledge-intensive work life, we have to be careful with increasing the pressure, so that it doesn’t switch to stress. It is counterproductive because it reduces the intellectual capacity that we need as much as possible to cooperate, solve problems and innovate.” Read the full post here.
Recovery and reflection as part of the workday is conditions for lasting a work-life
“Our health is the most important thing we have. Our health is something that we as people, leaders, colleagues, employees and employers should hold as our highest priority. It is not enough to offer a wellness allowance, there must be room for wellness, reflection and recovery during work hours.” Read full post here.
Avoid losing your most valuable employees
“Sick leave due to stress of unhealthy work environments has increased to the double in the past ten years and is now the most common reason for sick leave in Sweden, and women are overrepresented in the statistics. And those affected are your most valuable loyal employees that turn themselves inside out to deliver at work and in their private lives.” Read full post here.
“We worked closely together and by the time she left: www.jm.se got nominated as "Best website 2016" by Web Service Award, the web team was the role model and success story of how to work agile in the company and her work contributed to the digital transformation at JM. It was inspiring and fun to work with Isabelle and I can warmly recommend her!”
