NYC SUG is thrilled to host Joanne (Jo) Perold again in person in NYC. A former keynote speaker at one of our Big Apple Scrum Day conferences, Jo is now running annual **[Satir Leadership Development Workshops](https://www.virginiasatircenter.com/trainings-workshops/satir-leadership-development-workshop).** Join us for this very special session and enjoy the opportunity to learn about Virginia Satir work from one and only Jo Perold! **Session Description:** We got very good at changing how we work. We built frameworks, refined processes, ran retrospectives, and shipped faster. And something still isn't working. Because methods can only take you so far. At some point, the constraint isn't the process. It's the person running it. In conversations with leaders across four countries, the same patterns emerged regardless of methodology, team size, or industry. Urgency replacing discernment. People going through the motions without authorship. Teams delivering but not believing their voice changes anything. Leaders protecting their people from above while quietly wondering if any of it is worth it. These aren't process problems. They're human ones. Virginia Satir spent her life asking what it means to be more fully human — and her answers turn out to be exactly what agile practitioners need next. Not better tools. Not more frameworks. The inner capacity to lead well in complexity, uncertainty, and change. This session explores what that capacity looks like, why it matters more than ever now, and what becomes possible when we do our own inner work first. **The next frontier isn't a better process. It's a different person.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\- You too can become a speaker at our meetups! If you have an idea you would like to share, come see us at the Meetup, or tell us about it here: \*\*[https://www.papercall.io/nyc-sug**](https://www.papercall.io/nyc-sug**) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Meetings are now the **3rd WEDNESDAY** of the month **In person** meetings: **6-6:30 Networking, 6:30 session start** =======Would you company be interested in hosting us?======= The NYC Scrum User Group meets monthly to talk about Agile and Scrum, to share experiences, to network, and to provide support for local Scrum practitioners.
