Power of Passion

One of the things that immediately stands out about Johanna’s approach to the Professional Agile Leadership class is her unbridled passion. I’ve heard her say, more than once, that this is her favourite class to teach.  📌

And trust me, it isn’t just words. You feel it. I share that enthusiasm, too.

As I’ve always observed, the questions are so interesting that this zest makes her sessions dynamic and engaging.

Perfect Audience and the Art of Engagement

But it’s not just about the instructor.

It’s also about the audience.  🌍

It’s a unique joy to realise that the type of people that come to the agile leadership class is predominantly the type Johanna and I, as consultants, often engage with inside organisations.

These attendees are decision-makers, strategists, and visionaries. Their diverse experiences and curiosity lead to discussions that are just so much fun.

Rich Experience with the Agile Vanguard

Beyond her palpable enthusiasm lies Johanna’s vast reservoir of experience. She’s been on the frontline, engaging with organisations at various levels, trying to help them understand agile practices, lean , and all the flavours.  🚀

Her skill in having intricate conversations with leadership, managers, and those holding pivotal positions gives her a unique edge.

The Ripple Effect of Conversations

The essence of our work in agility often lies in its ripple effect.  🔄

As I’ve always believed, when Johanna or I engage in transformative conversations, convincing somebody in a leadership position to move towards agility means helping many.

Johanna thrives on this.

Seeing a transformation in motion, grasping the changing dynamics, and understanding its more significant implications is where she draws her passion.

So the question is why is Joanna a great teacher for the Professional Agile Leadership class? I think there are two aspects that really make it perfect for her. One is her absolute enthusiasm for the class. I’ve heard her say a number of times that this is her favourite class to teach, right? And that sort of thing really comes across when you’re engaging with people because the questions are just so interesting. I love this class as well; the questions are just so interesting, the answers are really interesting. The type of people that come to the Agile Leadership class, especially for Joanna and I as also consultants, right, it’s the type of people that we’re trying to talk to all the time inside of organisations.

And because that leads to the second reason she’s so awesome, because she’s got a swathe of experience in engaging with organisations at various levels, trying to help them understand Agile practices, Lean, all the flavours, right? She’s very experienced in having those conversations with leadership, with managers, with people who are playing at that level. And those conversations are just so much fun because convincing somebody in a leadership position to move towards agility or that they get more value by pushing responsibility down, convincing one of those people helps lots of people. And that’s, I think, where she gets a lot of her passion from in that class.
