| 23 Sep 2020 | Blatant Gender Discrimination in the Agile Community - Dana James-Edwards | 2026 | 00:42:27 | |
Dana James-Edwards is an agilist through-and-through. She is leveraging her talent in this area as she transitions her career focus solely towards enabling companies to come to grips with what it takes to truly enable diversity and inclusion. This kind of conversation is the reason we launched this podcast, to give voice to the stories of women who are still discriminated against in our agile community. James-Edwards, herself a black woman with years of experience working in technology, shares a heart-wrenching example of an organization she encountered just this year where women working as agile coaches “were being put in the corner, were being put in the backseat, were being disrespected, were being overlooked for promotions.” She also gives advice for how to catalyze change in your own organization. “There was a period where being black took a backseat to being female.” Leslie Morse hosts.

This Episode of the Women in Agile Podcast is another from the “Coaching Agile Teams” Mini-Series. Our Host, Leslie Morse is joined by Lyssa Adkins and her mentor, Mike Vizdos. It is a special conversation filled with lightness, vulnerability, and true wisdom.

This quote from Lyssa is a perfect illustration, “One of the things I appreciate about Mike is that he does not tell a story for his own enjoyment.

| 30 Sep 2020 | Merging Agile and Hawaiian Wisdom - Erin Kaohelaulii-Brett | 2027 | 00:33:49 | |
Erin Kaohelaulii-Brett wakes up every day ready to motivate others to be a catalyst for change. An agile coach in the healthcare insurance industry, she shares her unique story of going from super skeptical to change champion – all while finding ways to integrate lessons from Hawaiian language and culture into her daily work. The agile transformation initiative at her employer started strong then fizzled after the external consultants rolled off. Kaohelaulii-Brett invokes the Hawaiian concept of an ahupuaʻa (a communal land division stretching from the mountain to the ocean where natural resources were cultivated and exchanged) that thrived for years because of strong teamwork. “You needed that teamwork to survive back then… Just looking back at my ancestors and how they were able to survive and thrive, I’m like, ‘I can do this.’” Leslie Morse hosts.

| 24 Feb 2021 | Our Words Matter - Coaching Agile Teams Mini-Series | 2106 - CAT Mini-Series | 00:43:52 | |
The fifth episode of The Coaching Agile Teams Mini-Series features special guest Kory Stamper. The conversation with Lyssa Adkins, Kory Stamper and Leslie Morse twists and turns through a variety of topics all inspired by the ah-ha moment Lyssa had when listening to Kory’s Women in Agile 2020 keynote. It caused her to take a step back and really look at the words she used in the “Coaching Agile Teams” book. Lyssa had already taken note of how militaristic language showed up in her 2010 descriptions of what it took to successfully deliver value, and Kory’s session opened her eyes to an entirely new set of considerations. Spoiler alert, nothing really changed in the book. Enjoy the dance between moments of lightness and serious inquiry within this episode. You’ll learn more about parts of speech, be exposed to new vocabulary, and be challenged to get curious about how you use language.
About the Featured Guest Kory Stamper is a Philadelphia based Lexicographer, Author, Speaker, and Speechwriter. She was the keynote for the 2020 annual Women In Agile conference, has been a prior guest on the Women in Agile podcast series, and is globally recognized as an expert on language and the way it evolves.

This episode is a re-release of a 2020 conversation our host, Leslie Morse, had with Brandi Olson about burnout. We revived this episode because of its original popularity as well as because the content is incredibly relevant. Listen in as Brandi and Leslie explore how to recognize burnout in ourselves as well as in our organization, how it’s all about prioritization (whether proactive or reactive), and whether having grace within our team can prevent burnout in the first place. Join the conversation online with #WomenInAgile #SmallGoodThings About the Featured Guest Brandi Olson works at the intersection between learning, organizational agility, and human-centered design. She says: “We put people in a position of having to choose between doing good work and their humanity, and in most cases that’s a false choice.”

| 10 Aug 2022 | From the Archive: Imposter Syndrome and Finding One’s Authentic Self - Billie Schuttpelz | 2204 | 00:26:26 | |
This episode is a re-release of a 2019 conversation our host, Leslie Morse, had with Billie Schuttpelz about imposter syndrome and authenticity. This was the 11th episode of our series and it's fascinating how important many of these topics still are. As you listen, we hope these words of wisdom from Billie stick out to you as much as they did for us. “What if instead of finding my purpose, I find myself... It leads me to fulfilling my purpose?” “People are the most innovative when they’re operating in their authentic voice... We shouldn’t focus so much on innovation. We should focus on getting our people to their authentic selves, and the innovation will come out naturally.” About the Featured Guest Billie Schuttpelz is an Agile coach at Accenture who is known for her work on conquering Imposter Syndrome, something she has struggled with. A stage actor and advocate for therapy and visualization, Schuttpelz invented an alternate reality called “Oops Land” where people have the safety and permission to fail and also to be their authentic selves. This is in stark contrast to where she often feels she lives: in Perfect Island. Schuttpelz's personal development journey has helped her take back power over her own life, which has sometimes felt lacking purpose. She shares stories of her Imposter Syndrome workshops, as well as her process going through the Shine program fromTenWomenStrong, and the Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) program.

Marsha Shenk works with leaders, integrating business anthropology, social neuroscience, and ecosystem thinking to build business environments that can morph with change.

Shenk discusses how to claim authority as a woman and as a coach: “You want to take authority to say what are the things you need to accomplish the goal.” Leslie Morse hosts.

| 03 Feb 2021 | The Coaching Agile Teams Audiobook Journey - Coaching Agile Teams Mini-Series | 2103 - CAT Mini-Series | 01:00:33 | |
The third episode of The Coaching Agile Teams Mini-Series unpacks a side of Lyssa Adkins you may have never seen before. You hear Leslie Morse comment on the laughter and lightness of the discussion during her opening comments and that comes alive in a real way through the use of metaphors inspired by playground equipment. During this episode, Leslie and Lyssa unpack not only aspects of Lyssa’s journey to produce the Coaching Agile Teams audiobook but also compare and contrast how she is different from what she was 10 years ago when the book was originally released. Enjoy the story of how Mike Cohn invited her to consider writing a book, how the apprentice coaches she was working with reminded her of things to write down, and how theater inspired her take on the way collaboration shows up in her work. The grounding theme in their conversation seems to be the center point of a merry-go-round and how it doesn’t actually move. They offer several inquiries and moments of reflection within the metaphor and use it to illustrate many concepts. One of which is Lyssa’s story about how she calls on the wisdom of her body as an early signaling system, and the four step process she uses when she feels tension rise and seeks to remind herself she is in a human body that has lots of wisdom. Some of our favorite quotes from Lyssa include:

| 13 May 2020 | Servant Leadership is a Decision - Jennifer Willems | 2017 | 00:38:08 | |
Ontario-based Agile coach Jennifer Willems was a featured speaker in the Launching New Voices program at the 2020 Business Agility Conference in New York City. She believes that a growth mindset is essential and the key to unblocking the path for achieving agility. Willems takes us through her journey to becoming an agile coach and the lessons she learned along the way. Servant leadership is near and dear to her heart and you’ll hear real-life examples of what it does and doesn’t look like. She says servant leadership is something you are, not something you do. Finally, Jen advises us to take time for introspection, picking apart the work we’ve done to understand what happened. This helps you see what you’ve gained from the experience and discover patterns that will help build your own awareness of your values and principles. To her, “The principles are a lot more important than the process and the practice.” Leslie Morse hosts.

| 27 Jan 2021 | A Mission of Engagement & Inspiration - Coaching Agile Teams Mini-Series | 2102 - CAT Mini-Series | 00:51:12 | |
The second episode of The Coaching Agile Teams Mini-Series was recorded by Lyssa Adkins and Leslie Morse in August of 2020. During this conversation they explore the inspiration and mission for the mini-series. It is very much an exploratory conversation with moments of laughter counterbalanced with deep and at times vulnerable discussion. Leslie and Lyssa open their hearts and minds in an invitation to listeners as they call on their desire to normalize what it means to be on the journey to becoming an Agile coach. There is quite a bit of range in their conversation. You’ll have the opportunity to hear them to share fun stories such as one Lyssa recalls about Ron Jeffries at the 10-year anniversary of the Agile Manifesto as well as dig into deeper topics that feel more like coaching sessions between the two of them.
Two of our favorite quotes from Lyssa include:
“So much of what is in [Coaching Agile Teams] is not being done and I believe that if more of it was being done today we would have far less of the problems I continue to hear about - like on repeat. [They encounter] the same problem over and over and over again, and people are expecting Agile to solve it. It is only actually Agile’s job to reveal.”
“Whoa! Hang On! If I’m not solving problems for the team, then what am I doing? And [Coaching Agile Teams] says, here’s what you’re doing.” Reference(s):

| 18 Mar 2020 | Agile Coaches are Bad at Being Coached - Samantha Laing | 2012 | 00:24:49 | |
Agile consultant, international keynote speaker, and author Samantha Laing is passionate about self-care – going so far as to chair one of the tracks at Agile2020 on the topic. The crazy thing about it is that agile coaches often don’t find time to give themselves the same level of care and attention that they give to others. As Laing puts it, “we’re really bad at having our own coaches. I know very few … who actually have coaches.” Self-care isn’t necessarily about yoga retreats or a spa day (despite what Instagramers will have you believe): instead, at the root of self-care self-discovery. Laing’s journey in life and in agile has led to some lasting discoveries: “My wife and I have drastically cut down on how we live and how we tread on the earth… I’m focused on being my best self, which for me means having a lighter footprint on the earth.” Samantha Laing’s words of wisdom are: “We’re all amazing, kind, generous human beings – every single one of us.” Accenture SolutionsIQ’s Emilia Breton hosts.

Allison Pollard is part of the next generation of agile thought leaders. Through her stories, we learn she loves changing up her glasses and that she loves co-presenting with people who “catch her brain.” She shares a story about a seemingly chaotic organization-wide coaching initiative – a story which seeded a memorable Agile2019 presentation she co-presented with Skylar Watson, a fellow agile coach. Favorite quote (on the topic of her changing glasses): “I usually pick out a pair that kind of scares me initially when I look in the mirror – like, I’m not sure who that is, [but] I can take a year and find out.” Pollard’s words of wisdom: “As much as you think you know, there’s so much more out there…” Accenture | SolutionsIQ’s Leslie Morse hosts.

| 29 Jan 2020 | Velocity Doesn’t Have to be a Dirty Word - Christy Clement | 2005 | 00:32:34 | |
Christy Clement is the cofounder of the agile coaching and training company Velocity Made Good. She shares with us how she first got started with agile, and the concept and work of her company – especially since “velocity” often gets a bad rap. But the company name is actually sailing term, where you need balance speed with direction. This is the approach she brings to her coaching and consulting work. Clement also shares stories of personal agility building her house with her husband using a Kanban board, user stories, and an incremental move-in strategy. Her words of wisdom: Rather than focusing only on being fast and efficient, “really think about, are we heading in the right direction, what are those business metrics that we’re really trying to affect - are we measuring them and are we having an effect?” Accenture | SolutionsIQ’s Leslie Morse hosts.

“The presence of women – or lack thereof – led to a huge difference in the direction the organization or the leadership were heading to.” For Padmini Nidumolu, this was the catalyst for founding Lean In Agile, “a movement for, by, and of women designed to amplify the voices, talents, and experiences of women in the Lean and Agile communities across the globe.” Nidumolu says, “When there are fewer women on decision-making tables or creative sessions… there is an energy shift.” Lean In Agile has facilitated the formation of groups of women called “spirals” in Nepal, India, and the US, and they have launched two new programs – LIA 100 and LIA Next Generation – which our guest shares her passion and dreams for in this episode.

| 22 Jul 2020 | Why Changing Language is an Agile Process - Kory Stamper | 2020 | 00:43:55 | |
Kory Stamper is an author and lexicographer who has been writing on language and change for over 15 years. She also delivered a timely and fascinating keynote at the Women in Agile 2020 online conference. What might seem like an insignificant and innocuous word to one person can be triggering and offensive to another.
Stamper discusses the common greeting “hey guys” and its significance to women in the workplace, as well as a recent petition to change “ScrumMaster” to another term not associated with a historical reference to the master-slave dynamic. She emphasizes the need for agility in our interactions and the process of changing these terms and language at large.
“The process of collaboration is the thing that will change language permanently and will make language change meaningful to people.”

About our Host
Emily Lint is a budding industry leader in the realm of business agility. Energetic and empathetic she leverages her knowledge of psychology, business, technology, and mindfulness to create a cocktail for success for her clients and peers. Her agile journey officially started in 2018 with a big move from Montana to New Mexico going from traditional ITSM and project management methodologies to becoming an agile to project management translator for a big government research laboratory. From then on she was hooked on this new way of working. The constant innovation, change, and retrospection cured her ever present craving to enable organizations to be better, do better, and provide an environment where her co-workers could thrive.
Since then she has started her own company and in partnership with ICON Agility Services serves, coaches, and trains clients of all industries in agile practices, methodologies, and most importantly, mindset.
