Agile Mastery Success Stories

“This is the first time I have seen anyone actually really care about whether what we learn in the classroom helps us back in our real jobs.”

I took Geoff’s CSM class years ago and wanted to really develop my Scrum Master skills so decided to take his new long-term approach of training and coaching over the course of a year. There was so much learning in there and the fact that it was spaced out over time and solidified with reflection meant I not only learned about being a great Scrum Master but also a great leader and even a better human being.

I have been working with Geoff over the last year to develop my skills as a Product Leader and found the long-term, supported approach so much more valuable than any one-off course I have taken. One unexpected benefit of this approach was that it forced me to take the time to sit down and outline the thought process and logic behind my actions. Previously I would have just got on with the job, and not give a second thought about why I was taking such an approach. This newfound awareness played a major part in landing my new role, as I would have not been able to articulate my motivation and goals so clearly beforehand.

"The time that you invest in the Pathway is definitely worth it. So many hours of training are wasted by leaving a classroom and not even picking up the book. This brings the every day back to the learning."

"No powerpoint slides in sight. Geoff teaches through a subtle mix of anecdotally-explained theory and experience. He meets every individual where they are and is in it for the long-term, not just the days in the classroom."

"A continued focus over a longer time makes a huge difference."

"I wanted my team to benefit from Geoff's experience and he created an amazing training that met our needs and addressed our daily frustrations as the Product team. It benefited everyone from day one, he focused on both hard and soft skills. His 1-2-1 coaching sessions helped me massively in what I've achieved professionally in the last couple of years. He's open to challenging your thinking and also taking the steps with you, you always feel his support. I would highly recommend Geoff's courses and coaching sessions to anyone that wants to take their career to the next level."

"This was *real* learning not just a sheep-dip "what is Scrum?" course."
