I've helped a lot of teams with their agile transformation, but the biggest transformation has been in myself. Twenty years ago, I became a software developer so I could sit in front of a computer and avoid people. But in 2014 my son was born, and I decided I wanted to be better.🗲Cue Rocky montage music🗲So I started moonlighting as a Scrum Master. I pushed through the discomfort that comes with introverts doing extrovert things. I got certified (as a Scrum Master). I helped to build teams and bring people together. I taught and learned. I laughed and got laughed at. And I realised that servant leadership is both simple and powerful. It can transform individuals, teams and whole companies with just one question...how can I help you? It's not a job, it's an approach to living and thriving together. And that's what makes me love what I do.I have over 8 years of experience leading Agile teams and driving successful Agile transformations with a ‘Team First’ mindset. I'm skilled in agile practices, fostering cross-functional collaboration and nurturing an environment of continuous improvement. I have a strong background in insurance and technology, with expertise in workflow management, iterative planning, stakeholder relationship building and team dynamics. I also have a passion for using innovation and creativity to overcome challenges and deliver exceptional results. Here are 3 other quick things about me: • I invented my own productivity system (It’s called Strikethru - read about it here: https://lifehacker.com/strikethru-makes-paper-productive-by-combining-gtd-and-1744582416). • I coach people on building habits and behaviour change. I developed a habit building notebook called The Habit Journal (www.thehabitjournal.com). • I’m an amateur copywriter. I love old ad copy. I love Mad Men. Sometimes I dress up as Don Draper and pretend I’m in a meeting with Kodak, telling them it’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel.
Listed skills include Agile Methodologies, Software Development, Creative Entrepreneurship, Product Development, and 19 others.
