During our conversation, we covered a lot of ground, from the importance of flexibility in agile course building to concerns about conflict resolution in product development teams.

🌈 And guess what? Lightning strikes twice in this engaging conversation! ⚡️ We explore the underrated skill of being a lightning rod in facilitation and how it can bring your team together (even the disengaged ones). 🌪️
