About this Endnote
Mike has coached organisations - from some of the largest, to some of smallest - to improve their delivery and inject more joy into their work.
After 12 years, over 200 teams and more than 2000 people - what has he learned?
In this sometimes humorous, sometimes serious hour-long keynote, Mike will share some of the experiences, pains and joys of his time as an agile coach and practical tips for anyone involved in the world of agile software development.
Hear him share lessons about:
- the power of pizza to promote world (or, at least, organisation) peace
- the essential skills every coach must have - and how to get them
- tackling difficult personalities
- knowing when to let things emerge and when to catalyse them
- why all this nonsense about process A vs B is, well, nonsense - and what to focus on instead!
