About the Training
Agile and Lean work where there are deep respect and consideration for people. However, often the behaviors we experience and sometimes exhibit at work are not in alignment with our own goals and the goals of the organization. This is what makes achieving agility so hard.
Professional coaching helps individuals and teams increase the transparency of their own internal and external blockers that stop them from being successful in their goals.

You will also gain the understanding and skills required to create a safe environment for meaningful collaboration and healthy conflict resolution within an agile team and be exposed to team dynamics and the role the wider organization system plays.
Each day you will get to enjoy a tasty breakfast, lunch, coffees, teas, and fruits – included as part of your registration fee.
