Agile Wisdom from the Homefront: Leadership Lessons from Life and Work

Agility isn’t just for software teams—it’s a way of thinking, leading, and living. In this heartfelt and insightful episode, we explore real-world lessons in agility from parenting to project management, from sticky notes to strategic pivots.

Kate shares her personal journey transitioning from a project manager to a Scrum Master—and from a planning-every-minute parent to a supportive, servant leader. Along the way, she reveals six (and then some!) timeless lessons:

• Letting go of control
• Retrospecting anything with anyone
• Kanban boards for the win
• Embracing “done is better than perfect”
• Making failure safe and productive
• Listening without fixing

We also dive into bonus wisdom on the power of adaptability, embracing messiness, and remembering that true agility isn’t about tools—it's about mindset. Whether you’re leading a team or organizing a family holiday, these lessons apply.

Tune in for an episode full of reflection, laughter, and takeaways that blend leadership, agility, and real life.
