Brandi Olson works at the intersection between learning, organizational agility, and human-centered design. She says: “We put people in a position of having to choose between doing good work and their humanity, and in most cases that’s a false choice.”
Listen in as we explore how to recognize burnout in ourselves as well as in our organization, how it’s all about prioritization (whether proactive or reactive), and whether having grace within our team can prevent burnout in the first place.

Whether coaching, facilitating or value-stream mapping, Lizzy Morris introduces innovative and pragmatic techniques for promoting team engagement and accountability. She believes it is women who will catalyze change in society.
We are living in another Civil Rights movement. During the 60’s, people who supported the movement saw their businesses burnt down and they lost customers. Although the environment is different now and you might not see flaming crosses, there is still a risk today. What will happen to you today when you become an ally?
“We have to realize our united power to make real change, the kind of change we want...is going to come from sisterhood.”

Erin Kaohelaulii-Brett wakes up every day ready to motivate others to be a catalyst for change. An agile coach in the healthcare insurance industry, she shares her unique story of going from super skeptical to change champion – all while finding ways to integrate lessons from Hawaiian language and culture into her daily work.
The agile transformation initiative at her employer started strong then fizzled after the external consultants rolled off. Kaohelaulii-Brett invokes the Hawaiian concept of an ahupuaʻa (a communal land division stretching from the mountain to the ocean where natural resources were cultivated and exchanged) that thrived for years because of strong teamwork.
“You needed that teamwork to survive back then… Just looking back at my ancestors and how they were able to survive and thrive, I’m like, ‘I can do this.’”

Dana James-Edwards is an agilist through-and-through. She is leveraging her talent in this area as she transitions her career focus solely towards enabling companies to come to grips with what it takes to truly enable diversity and inclusion.
This kind of conversation is the reason we launched this podcast, to give voice to the stories of women who are still discriminated against in our agile community. James-Edwards, herself a black woman with years of experience working in technology, shares a heart-wrenching example of an organization she encountered just this year where women working as agile coaches “were being put in the corner, were being put in the backseat, were being disrespected, were being overlooked for promotions.”
She also gives advice for how to catalyze change in your own organization.
“There was a period where being black took a backseat to being female.”

Maaike Klasen is a scrum master as well as a certified professional coach with the International Coaching Federation, where she also holds a board position. She joins us virtually from the Netherlands to speak about how to fully occupy the duality in the role of a scrum master or agile coach, a balance many in the industry must learn to strike. We touch on coaching vs. consulting, confidentiality in performance reviews, and how coaching ethics play a part.
“Sometimes it’s difficult to recognize a conflict of interest and that’s where the code of ethics helps.”

Melissa Reeve is the Vice President of Marketing at Scaled Agile and has a talent for creating growth wherever she is, may that be in people, business, or in her own garden. Reeve shares her agile journey (so far!) and how she has changed her style from leading as a conductor - orchestrating and controlling her teams - to an emerging Agile leader, supporting and growing her teams, one moment at a time.
She has learned to have empathy for those who learned traditional management theories, which is a lot of years of learning and mental models to unwind. And in the case of the Global 2000, many of the leaders fall into that category.
“I didn’t realize I’d become agile until I encountered others in marketing environments who are not.”

How do we release the potential in each human? Allia DeAngelis wonders just that in her role as a Value Stream Architect and Organizational Transformation Coach. She unpacks for us how to use “sharp elbows” as a woman in the workplace and life in general, not in a way that undermines others, rather by creating room for yourself and others.
“If we have the same voices speaking up in the room, we will solve these things in the same way… I need you to create space for your voice so I can solve the problems with you in a different way.”
