It is my pleasure to bring you this episode of Workshops Work, featuring Nisaar Jagroep. Nisaar is a master of Agile (though is too humble to call himself that!), and a leading proponent of Conscious Leadership.

In his interview on Workshops Work, we dive into the details of Agile workshop design, the importance of having “the right people” in the room, and what Conscious Leadership looks like in organisations and hierarchies.

It was a real delight to learn more about these topics. I hope you will feel the same by the time the episode is over.

Find out about:

• Nisaar’s journey to facilitation via coaching and Agile, and how the three intermingle in his practice today
• Why making processes small makes change more achievable
• How to flatten the room, with an Agile twist
• What Conscious Leadership is, how we can apply it in organisations, and why it’s so important
• What Nisaar believes the future of facilitation is
