I'm offering
I completely love drawing alongside people to help them to develop and flourish. I love galvanizing projects where I can use the Scrum values:
Commitment, Courage, Openness, Respect and Focus and agile principles. I excel at spearheading transformation projects. I envision and use my interpersonal skills to get cross-functional teams to "buy-in" to the concept of the change that the organisation wants to deliver.
