Lyssa Adkins - Agility and leadership coach

Do you ever get frustrated at work because everything keeps changing? Your boss is being demanding. Your client changes their mind (again). Interest rates go up. There's a war on the other side of the planet. Someone sneezed and you caught it. Stuff happens.

Lyssa Adkins got frustrated being a project manager in a big organisation with ever more complicated projects. So frustrated she threw in the towel. It was a crisis moment. And then, almost accidentally, she discovered a new way to get things done.

The podcast charts her course from stressed-out manager to happy and successful author and an 'agility and leadership coach'. Today Lyssa works with leaders and teams that are making their own journey to agile ways of working. It's an approach that she believes can also help us tackle some of the world's most intractable problems.
