Story 1: A Revelation on Wall Street
Story 1: A Revelation on Wall Street
There I was, on the 15th floor of a top Wealth Management Banking Company, just blocks from Wall Street in downtown NYC, spinning up my eighth Scrum team. As an Agile coach, my mission was to transform teams, helping them embrace agility to deliver value faster. But as I worked with leadership, a stark realization hit: management often resists Agile. They saw it as a threat to control rather than an opportunity for empowerment. This experience shaped our approach at Team Synergy Coaches—we focus on bridging the gap between teams and leadership, fostering a shared understanding that Agile is about collaboration, not chaos. It’s about people first.

Story 2: A Lesson in Minneapolis
Story 2: A Lesson in Minneapolis
In a bustling conference room at a media company in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota, I faced a team on the brink of giving up. They were struggling to build their Product Backlog and were frustrated with the user story format. When I introduced relative sizing with the Fibonacci sequence, I was met with cold stares from developers who clung to estimating tasks in hours. My insistence that hour-based estimates were a waste of time led to a heated moment—I was asked to leave the room. That humbling experience taught us a vital lesson: change requires empathy and patience. At Team Synergy Coaches, we meet teams where they are, guiding them gently toward Agile practices that unlock their potential, always prioritizing their needs and perspectives.

Story 3: Film Studio Synergy
Story 3: Film Studio Synergy
At a famous film studio in Los Angeles, I observed a Scrum team during their 15-minute stand-up. Within moments, I could see it: true team synergy. This group had been collaborating for over a year, producing and delivering signature productions with seamless coordination. Their trust, communication, and shared purpose were palpable. It was a defining moment—I knew this was the essence of what I wanted to cultivate as a coach. That experience inspired the creation of Team Synergy Coaches, where we strive to replicate that magic, helping teams achieve greatness through collaboration and the right techniques.
