Abstract: Agile coaches are on the front lines of helping teams and organizations deliver value and with respecting people as one of the foundational tenets. As Agilists we understand that when people come to work they are bringing all the wonderfulness and challenges that make them up. Noticing the growing division in American society how does an Agilist help their teams/organizations focus on delivering value. Going beyond who is right and who is wrong in the national discourse, this session will ask participants to be vocal about their beliefs and have them out in the open. The session will explore "What does it mean for Agliists to talk about race, class, and gender?"
Learning Outcomes: - Gain fluency and awareness when looking at the social/political forces that affect your team/organization. Start to develop a toolset you can use to help address issues of race, class, and gender when seeing those dynamics in your teams/organization.
