I am an Agile Coach and Trainer from London, UK, currently residing and working in the USA, with frequent trips to Europe. I have a background in software development, graphic design, theatre arts, and team/groupwork facilitation. I have a keen mind, an anarchic edge and a passion for corporate enlightenment.

I currently work as a change agent, trainer and facilitator, providing coaching and consulting services to teams and organizations making the transition to more agile, trustful and team-centered ways of working. My current core focus is on the Scrum framework, offering both public and private training classes to explore the principles and practices of Scrum. I have developed a fast-moving and energizing style of "immersion training" for teams that provides an extremely high yield of knowledge for participants: knowledge that is not just learned, but embodied.

My coaching work is essentially at a grass roots level within an organization, but more recently I have been exploring how the Scrum principles can be applied within the field of organizational development. I am interested in how management by consensus, and the qualities of self-organization, empiricism and emergence can be used across the wider corporate culture to free the creative spirit and improve both human relationships and productivity.
