Professional Agile Leadership – Essentials

The Professional Agile Leadership Essentials (PAL-E) course is designed to help you explore how to create an environment that supports agility, empowers teams, and enables your organization to reap the benefits of an agile product delivery approach.

Leaders in Agile environments can find their role quite different from what they are used to, shifting focus to enabling teams to solve complex problems creatively. In this PAL-E class, you will discover perspectives and techniques for fostering growth in others to sustain long-term agility to the benefit of your organization and customers.

This highly interactive class is delivered virtually over four half-day sessions, which our students love! Our half-day sessions allow you to balance the course with your work while enabling high focus and deep learning during class time.

As an added benefit of attending this class from Unstuck Careers, you get a one-hour professional coaching session after the class. You can use this session for PAL I assessment preparation, coaching to apply what you have learned, or whatever else you need!
