About Me
about me
Who I Am & My Work
Award-winning author, keynote speaker, coach, and one of the early leaders of the agile movement.
For over two decades I’ve been helping leaders rediscover the courage to lead authentically.
I’ve written best-selling books including Scrum Mastery, Product Mastery, and The Coach’s Casebook. My latest, Calm REBEL Leadership, distills years of coaching into a framework for rebelling — not with noise or aggression, but with calm, integrity, and impact.
I’ve spoken on stages around the world — from TEDx events to major international conferences — and have worked with organisations across industries to transform how they approach leadership.
Why Coaching Matters
Why I Created Calm REBEL Leadership
Over years of coaching, I have seen a painful pattern: talented, values-driven leaders were being squeezed by systems that rewarded conformity over courage. They drifted, shrank, distorted themselves — and the world lost their best leadership.
I created the Calm REBEL Arc™ as a response. It’s not about fighting fire with fire. It’s about equipping leaders with the clarity, space, and tools to quietly, calmly rebel against the pressures that erode integrity.
Calm REBEL Leadership is my invitation to you: to reclaim your leadership on
your own terms and, in doing so, create the conditions for others to do the same.
How We Can Work Together
- 121 Coaching – tailored, transformational support for leaders at any stage of their journey
- In-House Workshops – practical, engaging training built around the Calm REBEL Arc™
- Speaking Engagements – from private leadership retreats to public keynotes, I deliver talks that spark lasting change
