My session on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMuX-MILLck My speaker profile: http://lanyrd.com/profile/erdbeervogel/ I love being around awesome people, who build great products customers desire. I love learning from and together with these amazing minds. I love creating the right environment for teams to flourish. I love change, and learning from new experiences. I love working in Agile environments. How about you? I bet there are some elements of this list why you're in Agile, too. And you can probably add even more elements to it. The Agile Manifesto states amongst others individuals and interactions, customer collaboration and responding to change. In our everyday life doing Agile we already respect these aspects in many ways. But do we practice what we preach as best we can? I'd like to challenge your current way of thinking about people and processes. I'd like to challenge you to focus on you, before you focus on others. I'd like to challenge your current way of reflecting. I'd like to inspire you to go different ways. I'd like to inspire you to inspire others. Come along to be inspired by Life Coaching and thus to benefit our Agile Thinking! I've done a 140 seconds session on "What the thinker thinks, the prover proves" this year. This can be a teaser of what you can expect from my session :) http://stoosconnect.nl/videos/victoria-schiffer/
