With one company after another announcing mandatory
work-from-home policies, you might be working from home today! Many
professionals in our community have never worked from home before or
facilitated a meeting remotely. This can bring up a lot of fear and uncertainty
in an already uncertain time.

for working remotely.
We’ll be discussing:

How to set yourself up for success.

Practical virtual communication strategies.

Protecting your mindset in uncertain times.
There is no need to register.

Fixing Your Scrum:
Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems
Presented by Ryan Ripley, PST and Todd Miller, PST
Broken Scrum practices limit your organization’s ability to
take full advantage of the agility Scrum should bring: the Development Team
isn’t cross-functional or self-organizing, the Product Owner doesn’t get value
for their investment, and stakeholders and customers are left wondering when
something—anything—will get delivered.
In this webinar, Professional Scrum Trainers Ryan Ripley and Todd Miller will walk through
some content in their new book, Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to
Common Scrum Problems, and talk about how experienced Scrum Masters balance the
demands of these three levels of servant leadership, while removing
organizational impediments and helping Scrum Teams deliver real-world value.
You will discover how to visualize your work, resolve impediments, and empower
your teams to self-organize and deliver using advanced coaching and
facilitation techniques that honor and support the Scrum Values and agile
principles.

7 Leadership Secrets
from Ender Wiggin (Ender's Game)
Presented by Hans Eckman, Info-Tech Research Group
For managers, authority is assigned and leadership assumed,
but there are big differences between management and leadership. Leadership
must be demonstrated and authority earned through trust and respect. Many
employees feel frustrated that they aren’t in a position to be leaders, and they
often feel alone and underappreciated. In “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card,
Ender Wiggin faced similar challenges as he moved through the battle school.
Initially Ender was not only in a contributor position, but he was actively
inhibited from demonstrating value. Ender quickly learned what makes a true
leader that people will follow, regardless of the organizational structure and
institutional rules. Join us to learn the 7 secrets of leadership Ender
developed during his time at Battle and Command schools. See how his leadership
lessons can be applied to your professional growth, development, and
perspective as a leader in your company and projects. Even if you are not ready
to step from the shadows yet, these lessons will improve your work as a key contributor
and facilitate your path to future leadership.
Learning Objectives:
·
Identify leadership traps and how to avoid them.
·
Learn how to apply leadership techniques within teams,
regardless if you are in a “lead” position.
·
Discover non-traditional leadership approaches based on
applied lessons.
