Agile Transformation Coach

Around the turn of the century I got involved in Agile when I was studying and my professor was Arie van Bennekum (co-author of the Agile Manifesto). He introduced me to DSDM and before I realized I implemented it in the company I was working.
The positive impact of the Agile way of working on company success and on the fun and motivation of the people working there surprises me again and again. At first there is disbelief, sometimes denial, and then slowly but surely change starts to happen, eyes start to twinkle and teams start to grow.
Seeing that happening during training, in the transition process or in personal coaching is what drives me, getting people, teams and companies to their full potential.
Vulnerability will change from a threat to a strength, personal distance between teams and people changes into personal contact and people taking responsibility beyond their functional role just because of intrinsic motivation.
That is what I do and I truly love it.
Now being an international coach at Wemanity I assess on companies and I guide end-2-end transitions to working Agile by coaching and training management, projects, teams and individuals.
I love to implement Agile Portfolio Management (or Value Creation), doing the right thing, connecting strategy to execution and operation, combined with Agile Leadership and that is what makes or breaks companies. Furthermore, I have passion for visualization, I love to draw and to help others to learn how to draw.
As a public speaker I do talks and Masterclasses on subjects like Feedback and Responsibility, Agile Transformations and Value Creation (Agile Portfolio Management).
Subject of the report:”Agile Leadership”
Abstracts of the report:
My talk will be about (Agile) Leadership, what is leadership and why do we need it so badly.
Subject of the workshops:”How to set up an Agile Transformation”
Abstracts of the report:
I want to create in a 2 hour workshop together woth the participants an Agile Transformation Plan/ Appoach to transform a company or department. My idea is that I will create 4 cases for 4 different types of companies and the team will create an appoach to the transformation. We will do that in such a way that everybody will learn from this
