Meet the coaching & training team
Founder and Principle
Erika Lenz
I am driven to help people ​achieve and thrive together.
​
I work with executives, managers, and teams navigating agile transformations to create environments that support high-performing teams. The end goal is to create sustainable work processes that truly serve organizational goals.
​
I focus on amplifying your organization’s ability to deliver value using the principles of lean and agile, systems thinking, and human dynamics. My strength is catalyzing your management team(s) to gain skills to actively cultivate change, make difficult decisions faster, solve problems together, build meaningful alignment, and untangle cross-organizational impediments.
Since 2011, I have coached transformations using SAFe, Lean, Scrum, Kanban, XP, UX/UCD, Design Thinking, traditional project management, and home-grown practices on distributed and international projects. In the process, I have taught thousands of practitioners and mentored scores of groups and individuals in leadership, product, coaching, and team-level roles.
