Jade Lopez

Jade has established a fulfilling career operating at the intersection of STEM and community development. Her journey commenced with the attainment of a Bachelor's of Science in Neurology, Physiology, and Behavior from the University of California at Davis. Following this, she ventured into the international arena, first as a member of the Peace Corps in Mozambique, where she taught 12th-grade biology in Portuguese and pioneered a UN-recognized hospital internship program.

Returning home, Jade undertook domestic public health roles in both Oakland and San Francisco, California. In pursuit of further academic excellence, she earned her Master's in Public Health with a specialization in Biostatistics from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Fifteen years ago, coming from Lean Thinking and Portfolio Management, I jumped into the agile world with my entire body.
I went through more than 200 agile projects and contributed to several communities. Ten years ago, as a member of the PMI, I contributed to creating the PMI ACP Certification, which left considerable space for improvement.
Five years ago, I was asked by Mike Beedle to join his project on Enterprise Scrum. Unfortunately, Mike passed away, and I used my org development and behavioral analysis research to write my first book in 2020, "The New Normal: AO concepts and patterns of 21-st century agile organizations," and "Swarming X4" in 2021.
I'm a certified agile master coach with several agile certifications levels, still interacting with many initiatives on the evolution of work.
I don't distinguish between development and an executive committee of a global organization.
In 2014, I created Play14 (www.play14.org) with two colleagues, a global initiative on facilitation and serious games.
Even if I'm a full-time consultant, I'm still involved in Disciplined Agile with the PMI, with Open Eyes on the evolution of leadership, and with the ICF on agile coaching.
I’m an alumni of Boston Consulting Group and MIT.

I’m Lauren Best. And I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, Writer, Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Podcast Host and Coach who works at the intersection of wellness, consciousness, creativity, and business.

In 2020, my whole world blew up and on my journey to learn to love myself and to overcome burnout I found the practice of hypnosis which would change my life forever! It became so instrumental in my own life to discover what my version of conscious and intentional living could look and feel like. It empowered me to find confidence in my pursuit of creative entrepreneurship. Trusting and reprogramming my subconscious mind has also invited opportunity for me to disrupt perfectionism and deepen into my spiritual practice.

I now work with Conscious and Creative Leaders and Entrepreneurs, and Curious Individuals to unlock potential, envision new possibilities for their work and life, connect to their intuition, understand their unique abilities, and strengthen their mind-intuition-body connection to take authentic action.

I love speaking about disrupting perfectionism through conscious and intentional living, rewiring the subconscious mind, embracing creative entrepreneurship, and designing self-care practices to guide and inspire folks to show up more authentically in their work and lives.

Having struggled with general anxiety, panic disorder, and OCD, I know firsthand how it feels to live with this struggle on a daily basis.

I spent years trying to find the right therapist, taking the right medication, looking for a natural supplement, food tests, skin tests, neurological tests, and it goes on and on. It wasn’t until I finally decided to take my life back – after almost losing it – that anxiety finally lost its grip on my life.

Dr Jamie Ioane

When it hit me, I was in my last 12 months of psychiatry training before becoming a consultant psychiatrist. Something never quite sat right with becoming a psychiatrist, the long hours and emotional toll of the profession was not something I could see myself doing for the rest of my life. The administrative burden and endless hours at the computer were not why I signed up for a career in medicine. Then it hit me, burnout. My burnout was a wake-up call. I needed to change something in my life. I decided to leave psychiatry a career 20 years in the making, gone. But it was the best decision I ever made. On my journey, I rediscovered my passion for design and have since been on a mission to help others with burnout and improve health IT systems to be more user-friendly and aid clinicians in their jobs rather than hinder them. As a speaker, I bring a unique perspective on the intersection of mental health, burnout, general practice and design in the healthcare industry. Change is never easy, but only when we make the change we can see what we are truly capable of.
