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.
