You Can't Be Brittle if You Want to Be Tough

Duane Girard learned to help build strong teams as a Sergeant in the US Army. In the military, he paralleled many of the Scrum events and values and practiced his ability to build teams in complex environments - later finding a civilian position as a Scrum Master in one of his first jobs out of the military. In this podcast, Duane has a discussion with host, Dave West, and shares those parallels, talks about his career journey as a Scrum Master, and speaks about how the Professional Scrum Master certifications and learnings from Scrum.org courses helped catapult his career as a Scrum Master, make significant impacts at several organizations, and how each Professional Scrum certification he took was a stepping stone to elevate his career.
