Laura DiBenedetto retired at age 37, accomplished and wealthy by societal norms. However, personally she was tired and burnt out. She went on a radical journey of self-discovery, research, and testing, determined to find energy and lasting, fulfilling happiness in all areas of life.
After discovering and applying the formula of the Six Habits, DiBenedetto has been devoted to sharing the universally applicable and deeply liberating truths so that others may find their own path out of misery and into lasting, fulfilling happiness and limitless possibility.
“The organization is a sum of individuals, and when you nurture, heal and grow the individual, you nurture, heal and grow the organization.”

Kory Stamper is an author and lexicographer who has been writing on language and change for over 15 years. She also delivered a timely and fascinating keynote at the Women in Agile 2020 online conference.
What might seem like an insignificant and innocuous word to one person can be triggering and offensive to another.
Stamper discusses the common greeting “hey guys” and its significance to women in the workplace, as well as a recent petition to change “ScrumMaster” to another term not associated with a historical reference to the master-slave dynamic. She emphasizes the need for agility in our interactions and the process of changing these terms and language at large.
“The process of collaboration is the thing that will change language permanently and will make language change meaningful to people.”

Sarah Olivieri is a nonprofit business strategist, author, and founder of PivotGround where they leverage her Impact Method to help nonprofits simplify their operations, build aligned teams, and make a bigger impact without getting overwhelmed or burning out. Olivieri has learned from her many experiences to speak up when things don’t look right, something many women might not be comfortable doing.
"I go about my life assuming we misunderstand each other,” she says. “It’s only by intention that people all get on same page and understand each other.”

Ontario-based Agile coach Jennifer Willems was a featured speaker in the Launching New Voices program at the 2020 Business Agility Conference in New York City. She believes that a growth mindset is essential and the key to unblocking the path for achieving agility.
Willems takes us through her journey to becoming an agile coach and the lessons she learned along the way. Servant leadership is near and dear to her heart and you’ll hear real-life examples of what it does and doesn’t look like. She says servant leadership is something you are, not something you do.
Finally, Jen advises us to take time for introspection, picking apart the work we’ve done to understand what happened. This helps you see what you’ve gained from the experience and discover patterns that will help build your own awareness of your values and principles. To her, “The principles are a lot more important than the process and the practice.”

Marsha Shenk works with leaders, integrating business anthropology, social neuroscience, and ecosystem thinking to build business environments that can morph with change. She says, “Change can be described as behavioral plasticity.” Her advice to agilists is that you do not have to be looking for a job that has the title Agile Coach or Scrum Master, instead look more broadly to find opportunities to help companies get back on their feet in a more flexible, fluid manner.
Shenk discusses how to claim authority as a woman and as a coach: “You want to take authority to say what are the things you need to accomplish the goal.”

Yvonne Marcus’s passion centers around bringing agile values and principles into home and family life. She regales us with her family’s foray into using agile practices in their household using two-week sprints, daily standups, and retrospectives. She has found that practicing agile at home not only results in a happier, more cohesive family unit because everyone is being heard and participating, but also as a woman, you’re able to get more time for yourself instead of doing #allthethings.
