Self-organized teams are the backbone of Agile success. They thrive on autonomy, creativity, and collaboration, but the question often arises: how can we, as leaders and facilitators, effectively support and guide these teams without taking away their independence? In my latest video, I showcase a training session I conducted, leveraging principles from the book Training from the Back of the Room to create an engaging, learner-focused experience.

Why Training from the Back of the Room?

This book by Sharon L. Bowman is a game-changer for trainers, coaches, and educators. It challenges traditional, lecture-heavy approaches and promotes active, brain-friendly learning techniques. The method aligns perfectly with the needs of self-organized teams, fostering environments where participants can actively explore, experiment, and internalize concepts.

By using techniques from this book, I designed a session that not only imparted knowledge but also empowered the team to own their learning process—a critical skill for any self-organized group.

If you're curious to see these techniques in action, I invite you to watch my video. You'll witness the transformation that happens when training shifts from being trainer-centered to learner-centered. It’s not just about teaching concepts; it’s about creating an experience that inspires teams to embrace and embody self-organization.
