Tobias Mayer

I work as a change agent and facilitator, providing coaching and consulting services to organizations making the transition to more agile, trustful and team-centered ways of working. I run the consultancy Agile Thinking, which is essentially just me.  This is my mission statement:

Agile Thinking is dedicated to personal and organizational transformation through human interaction and passionate engagement. Using techniques and ideas drawn from theatre, groupwork, psychotherapy and agile software development, we strive to create space for emotional exploration and courageous conversation: for change.
