A few years ago, I was an agile coach reporting into the product owner who happened to be a director on my contract. It was a command and control environment, my team felt helpless, and so did I. The stuff I learned during my CSM and ICP-ACC just wasn’t enough.
I relentlessly looked for someone I could talk to. I wasn’t part of an Agile COE so I had 0 support. I was out there on my own trying to change an entire business unit’s way of working. Then I met Joanne Stone. I was struck by her kindness and willingness to make time for a perfect stranger. We geeked out on books and I remember her introducing me to Esther Derby’s work.
I learned about Joanne’s vision of following Lyssa Adkins footsteps of giving back to the community by building a mentorship group that gives people the confidence of practicing their agile skills.
I know that I’ve personally grown as a coach by being part of Joanne’s group. This isn’t just for beginners to agile. This is for anyone who wants to sharpen their coaching skills…
Ever wondered why I’m so good at coming up with content for master classes and able to hold a virtual room of 100+ attendees? That’s because it all started at Joanne Stone Agile Mentorship group. I’m proud to be one of the mentors. I focus on the career aspect.
So I encourage you, whether you are a beginner coach or an experienced coach to join this group. It is open to ANYONE in the WORLD.
