Learned a lot today, Thank you

Easy-to-understand explanations and fruitful group work so that participants can experience their own personal growth even in the middle of the training

Good... experienced leader

Great course on agile leadership — it exceeded my expectations. Zuzi and Elena were outstanding instructors.

アジャイルリーダーとしての考え方やあり方を学べた

Through various episodes and practices based on Zuzi's experiences, I was able to learn about agile leadership. Additionally, by engaging in discussions with participants from various contexts, I deepened my understanding of agile leadership and was able to articulate the next actions to take. Since there were many abstract topics, I felt it might have been better to divide into about three teams to increase the intensity of the discussions.

More than from words, I learned one of the leadership styles from zuzi-san's approach and her content of questions during the training. If you are looking for short cycles of repeated awareness in scaling yourself, I recommend attending this training.

Rather than just receiving one-sided explanations, I was encouraged to reflect on myself and had the opportunity to hear about other people's situations and experiences, which made me think about how I should act in the future, which was a good experience.

It was an opportunity and time to think through the coaching-type training.
