Webinar Overview:

Do you truly understand why your team uses Scrum? When your team first decided to adopt Scrum, they were likely trying to address a specific problem. Perhaps they struggled to reliably deliver to customers, or maybe they were frustrated by endless requirements documents and exhausting death marches. No matter the reason, the move to Scrum was likely met with both excitement and fear.

• How to create a culture of learning and feedback by focusing on the why behind Scrum - inspection and adaptation rather than only the framework and practices
• Solid and renewed understanding of the importance of feedback loops in product development

Toastmasters etiquette is a unique skill each club member develops over our tenure of membership in the organization.  It is the attention to small details that sets us apart from the average speaker and helps define us as professionals.  Good techniques in Toastmasters etiquette create confidence in speakers and bring kudos from audiences.  Teaching etiquette at the club level prepares members for success as club ambassadors when they speak beyond the club and other Toastmasters events as well as and outside the world of Toastmasters.
