SUMMARY:Regional Scrum Gathering® Cape Town 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our Regional Gathering has a strong reputation as an excellent opportunity for learning and connecting with the local Agile and Scrum communities\, making it a popular and highly anticipated event on the calendar. It will be held at Lagoon Beach Hotel and Spa\, Cape Town\, South Africa. \n \nThis year’s theme: From Conversations to Transformations \nEvery transformation begins with a conversation\, a question that sparks courage\, a challenge that opens new possibilities\, a moment of honesty that shifts the path forward. Building on last year’s theme\, Rethink\, Reframe\, Rekindle\, we continue the journey in 2026 by exploring how meaningful dialogue drives lasting change. \nThis year\, we invite you to share the conversations that became turning points\, the moments where words led to action\, where ideas grew into impact\, and where people\, teams\, and organisations transformed because someone dared to start talking. \nJoin us as we uncover the power of dialogue in shaping transformation. Let’s celebrate the stories\, insights\, and lessons that remind us: transformation doesn’t just happen\, it begins with a conversation. \nTake a look at our speaker line up and programme to see the calibre of thought leaders who will be joining us in 2026. \nCorporate Ticket Invoicing\nFor companies requiring invoices\, simply let us know the number of tickets you’d like and your billing information\, and our team will issue the invoice promptly.

SUMMARY:Team Coaching Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nCoaching and mentor coaching have long been recognized as competencies of professional coaches\, but coaching supervision is not as well-known or understood. Coaching supervision is a reflective practice within a collaborative relationship\, one in which the coaching supervisor and coach (supervisee) explore the coach’s work. \nThis is done through a range of approaches\, lenses\, and subjects of inquiry\, all with the aim of bringing about better outcomes for the client\, the system in which the coach is working\, and the coach themself. Coaching supervision is a transformative\, developmental experience that helps to improve the quality of the coach’s work\, their practice\, and the wider profession. \nCoaching supervision is a vital part of a coach’s ongoing professional development. Most professional coaching bodies\, including the International Coaching Federation and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council\, are taking steps to ensure that coaches undertake some form of supervision as part of their ongoing development. By engaging in coaching supervision\, coach’s elevate their own work and the service they provide to their communities. \nJoin us when Erin Randall shares with us this crucial part of development. \nSee you there! \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Resistance as Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nPeople that resist change naturally frustrate product owners and scrum masters. They create decision-making bottlenecks and cause adoption delays. However\, resistance is also human communication. Resistance provides useful data – if its neurological and social root causes are understood. With this insight\, resistance can be re-framed from delivery risk\, to opportunity. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nUnderstanding the social-neurological root causes of resistance\, as informed by David Rock’s SCARF model.\nExploring where these root causes may manifest with different stakeholder types on change programmes.\nA paradigm shift on resistance – why it is useful\, if not essential in human interaction.\nRick Maurer’s three levels of resistance.\nIdentifying the three levels of resistance at different stages of the change programme life-cycle – and how to respond and adapt.\n\nJoin us for an evening of learning and new insights! \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Sanity in the thunderstorm - dealing with a frustrated team
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\n“As an agile practitioner\nI would just like to survive today\nSo that I can wake up and add value in my role tomorrow”. \nDo you ever experience challenging scenarios that resonate with this user story? \nFrustration is one thing we know too well in Agile environments\, especially with the added complexity of corporate environments. \nAs we are Scrum Masters\, our talk will be from that perspective. However\, we believe that the session is relatable and applicable to many. \nJoin us for this interactive session on working with a frustrated team and navigating scenarios in which you also share the same frustrations as the team. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!
