Welcome to Defining Moments of Leadership, a podcast hosted by Marsha Acker. We’re joined today by guest Lyssa Adkins in a discussion to explore what it looks like to lead from behind. Lyssa is gifted in her ability to articulate a passion or need that she sees in our world and then inspire others to action. She is an internationally recognized agile thought leader, speaker, author of the book Coaching Agile Teams and the Agile Coaching Institute co-founder.
Lyssa is an internationally recognized agile thought leader and speaker. Her book, Coaching Agile Teams, is still a top-ranked book years after publication. It’s a must-read book for Agile Coaches and it’s now also available in audiobook format. She co-founded Agile Coaching Institute (ACI) which equipped over 10,000 people with the must-have skills and mindset shifts of excellent agile coaching.
Her Agile community focus is amplifying women’s voices, which is why she is a founder of the TENWOMENSTRONG programs.
Her current focus is improving the performance of top leadership teams through insightful facilitation and organization systems coaching. Making difficult decisions faster and with clear alignment, unknotting challenging multi-department impediments, creating the conditions for smooth organizational delivery, helping leaders take up the “Agile transformation” that is theirs to make…this is where she thrives and helps others to thrive.
