Welcome to the 10th episode in our Prestigious Pints series!! In this episode we chat with Dr Sally-Ann Freudenberg about her history as an agile coach but her passion for inclusivity and optionality in collaboration. Some really interesting insights into many assumptions we might be making about the environments we work in and how a "blended" environment might look. Thanks for the chat Sal! Hosted on Acast.

We are back!! As we reach the fag-end of the British summer we managed to grab a face to face drink outside a cidery (hence the periodic burst of wind across the microphones) on the outskirts of Cheltenham where we talked about the prospect of getting back to face to face and the mixture of excitement and nerves which led on to Geoff's various degrees of anxiety when training, speaking and coaching live and online.Somehow this meandered into a discussion about how conferences are - by design - out of date, then finding our purpose and identifying and then internalising and celebrating the value that we add.We have also uploaded the image below from social media that Geoff mentions towards the end of this episode...

In our 7th episode of our Prestigious Pints series, we caught up with the legend that is Lyssa Adkins; author of one of the most popular agile books of all time Coaching Agile Teams.Our conversation wasn't really about coaching agile teams however and instead focussed on the "accumulation of anxieties" that we and the community in general have found ourselves needing to deal with recently.This then led into the differences between coaching and therapy and self-care as coaches before exploring Lyssa's current focus around coaching leadership teams on their global conscience and planetary responsibilities.A great episode!
