In this exciting episode of Joekub, we had the pleasure of interviewing the renowned Agile coach, trainer, and author, Lyssa Adkins. We discussed her book, "Coaching Agile Teams," which is known for its dense, insightful content that provides value to agile coaches even years after they first read it.
We also delved into how AI is currently affecting the Agile coaching discipline and how Agile coaches can use technology to enhance their practice. Lastly Lyssa paints a picture of
how Agile methods are perfectly suited to tackle the uncertainty we face in our future. The next step in agile coaching may be in solving the world's problems, not just building the next products or services.
Lyssa's positive outlook on the future of Agile coaching and her deep knowledge and passion for the field made for a fascinating and inspiring interview. Tune in to Joekub to hear Lyssa Adkins share her valuable insights and wisdom!

Hey Joekub-tonians!
This episode has Jakub and Joe jumping over to the Bay Area in San Fran to talk with Pete Lim, principal agile coach at Miro.
In true Joekub fashion, our conversation takes twists and turns as we learn about what led Pete to agile coaching, what it is like being an agile coach at a company known for distributed facilitation, and what Miro culture is like (do they even have offices?).
We also learn about whether Miro has an incentive programme for naming your first born "Miro".
Pete is an excellent storyteller and gives us a great perspective of working as a coach in a hybrid, together/distributed world.
