During a trip to swim with wild dolphins I discovered that dolphins appear to embody many of the qualities that allow successful teams to flourish. Perhaps this shouldn’t be too surprising, given these intelligent mammals live in pods that often have dozens of members; however, just how closely the behaviours which dolphins hold to be important mirror those in humans was truly fascinating. When interacting with the dolphins, the most important thing was to establish and continuously reinforce trust.

What are the attributes that dolphin relationships have which make them such good role models? How can we create high performing teams that work together as well as dolphins? Join me as we explore the journey I went on to swim with the dolphins, observing these wild dolphins in their pods and how I started to connect the dots. 

Working with Agile coaches can be awful! While we coach teams and leaders, we aren't perfect people. Like any person, we Agile coaches also have our trials and tribulations, eccentric characters and chaos.

Join us as we explore together what it is that makes us tick and how we Agile coaches can work together. As coaches we are often looked up to as role models of what a zen or high performing team should look like - but is this really the case? Do we live the agile values that we preach, are we the best collaborators? Coaching isn't for the faint-hearted, yet the empathy that we give others seems lost with other coaches. How do we leverage what we have as coaches, bringing in our skills, complementing each other to create an awesome coaching team.
