👋 Hey, Carlos here! Welcome to “The Holistic Leader”, your weekly source of simple and honest leadership, Agile, Management & team insights.

As a Scrum Master or Agile Coach, one of the most important parts of your role is guiding your team through change. But let’s be real, it’s not always easy.

Teams often push back, not because they’re unwilling, but because they don’t see how new practices or ideas will help them.

Reason Coaching isn’t about dismissing concerns.

It’s about reframing objections into opportunities for growth. Instead of shutting down resistance, you show how the very challenge they’re worried about is the reason to try something new.
