TESTIMONIAL

"I highly recommend Lyssa's coaching class. I am a participant in Lyssa's coaching circles program, as I actively coaching multiple teams. Lyssa is an excellent teacher of the skills needed for the challenging and rewarding role of agile coach.

"I can tell you that very little in my agile experience prepares me for coaching. Part mentor, part teacher, part facilitator of group processes, the coaching role is a very demanding one. Lyssa's coaching education offerings are very valuable if and when you want to go from good to great.

Lyssa is highly skilled and more importantly, she can clearly impart that expertise to each and every student."
