Who are you?

That leads though inspiration and coaching, helping team and individuals grow though challenge and care. You believe a key to alignment is to understand first and then seek to be understood.
- You love app development, but are also intrigued by things like coaching, scrum and leadership. Therefore, you have decided to explore the path of leadership more and more
- You believe the best app teams are self-organized and consisting of individuals who all are driven by the same mission. You feel just as home developing the latest feature as leading and facilitating a discussion on how to collaborate better with UX/UI during the sprint.
- You think the best apps are created in collaboration. With customers, stakeholders, UI/UX, backend systems and PO. But always with the customer/user in center. You understand that “if nobody wants what you’re selling, you don’t have a business”. You also know that any development is a balance between reaching market today but also having the technology base to be here tomorrow.
- You learn by doing, yes sometimes you want to read up and listen to others, but in the end trying, failing, reflecting and trying again is the best way to learn new things in complex environment, that is true for both you, your team members and your team.
