In the fourth episode of our Prestigious Pints series, Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together (virtually in lockdown) with one of their heroes and inspirations Esther Derby.

They chat about how Esther is most widely known for her work in retrospectives even though this is only a fraction of what she has done and continues to do before explaining how she got into that space.

Esther explains how the fact we are not taught the history of management is one of bigger causes for the organisational dysfunctions we continue to see and why some people seem to resist the offer of autonomy.

We discuss her inspirations, and beliefs as well as the disappointing reactions of some organisations during the pandemic.

We were so excited to have a drink with the awesome Chris Williams of Badass Agile in Canada. Apart from the inevitable pandemic conversation, we discussed the concept of Mastery as a discipline. That, and how failure is still a stigma.

Chris is a legend of agile podcasting, having recorded nearly 500 episodes and please do check out his website https://badassagile.com/ where you can find out about the podcast and his badass leadership program called The Forge.

Chris also kindly donated some goodies just for our patrons so check out the patreon.com/theagilepubcast to see his exclusive 20 minute clip on the leader qualities of Navy SEALs and accompanying slide deck for you to re-use and enjoy.

In our Prestigious Pints series, exclusively for our Patreon subscribers, we went (virtually of course) all the way to the other side of the world to chat with the most experienced agile coach in the Antipodes...Sandy Mamoli.

Sandy is an awesome multi-lingual coach and all round individual who has blazed a trail over in New Zealand (and many other countries as well) for all things agile and it was great to finally catch up with her and chat about all things agile.

We tried (but failed) to avoid talking about how the pandemic isn't affecting life in New Zealand as much as everywhere else in the world. Instead we talked about animals in the office, her journey as a coach including her time as an Olympian, the fear and value of self-selection and how words can mean significantly different things in different cultures.
