The Power of Personal Engagement
Two steps forward in professional scrum. Come and explore the advantages of personal engagement. What makes a team thrive? How do you increase the maturity of a scrum team? What tools can you use to wake up from zombie scrum? Do you want to understand how to increase your team's engagement and help your team grow? In this session, we will help you advance forward by using scientific principles and practical tools by starting with personal engagement. We will share how to increase personal engagement, we will provide you with tools to get everyone involved, and we will help you gain insight into non-verbal behavior to increase your communication skills. We will also be combining brain science principles from ‘Training From the Back of the Room' and the science behind non-verbal behavior to help you improve your personal impact and the engagement of your team. We practice what we preach; expect an interactive talk full of exercises to keep you involved!
