Pascal Verhasselt

Pascal Verhasselt

Je suis facilitateur en intelligence collective (nope, je ne suis pas coach agile ou scrum master), coach et formateur. Je suis issu de l’univers du jeu autant que celui du conte et j’ai mis les pieds dans le monde du soutien au management un peu par hasard. J’aime par-dessus tout travailler avec des groupes hétéroclites et les aider à trouver en eux les ressources dont ils ont besoin pour parvenir à réaliser leurs objectifs. Souvent je leur prête mes outils. Parce que les outils, ça se partage.
Je travaille principalement avec des chefs de projets et des managers. Je trouve souvent ma place entre les lignes.
L’inclusion et le bien-être sont des valeurs importantes pour moi dans le travail.

Pino Decandia

Pino Decandia

I like organizations and the complex mechanisms that govern them. From business architectures to processes, from words to behaviors, I deal with business change. As an Agile Coach, I combine the Agile Manifesto principles with specific expertise and experience in medium to significant realities and transformation processes. I am pragmatic and concrete-oriented. I believe that:
- People can change; they do not oppose change but offer their vision. To be respected.
- Needs are the basis of behavior; if I want to help, I must allow them to be expressed clearly. And I must be the first to state my needs.
- Ideological battles are meaningless; it matters more to understand the problem and what can be done to solve it.
