WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Team Dynamics training was really balanced in terms of new information, engagement of participants and pace. We got new thoughts and ideas to improve our foundation for deliveries despite we are a mature team who has worked together for many years. Julia is a shining coach who has good experience in IT industry, superb preparation for training and good skills to create a relaxed and trustful atmosphere to talk about hard topics.

It’s rare that you come across a standout talent like Julia. I was particularly impressed by Julia’s ability to communicate and educate people in Agile Ways of working. The way she handles groups, it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. Her energy is contagious and it is impossible not to feel energized after meeting her.
Daniel Carvalho
Thank you very much for your effort to train 20 people from IT cross-functional team about Agile principles and Scrum. We had a really valuable training with an interactive approach. Specially big thanks for those beautiful worksheets made by yourself! I really liked also the energy and calmness you brought to the audience, and you didn’t “oversell” yourself. So overall – a spectacular experience I would definitely recommend to other teams also.
