Hafedh Messaoudi - Agile & Professional Coach | Trainer

About Me

★ I help people, teams and organizations unlock their full potential ★

I am a true believer that anyone can find the strength to change if they have the will to do so. I accompany individuals and organizations as a professional coach in their journey to emerge and learn from past failures and successes to improve and overcome their problems, reaching new levels of potential and success.

I am also an agile coach. Agile is my element, I'm good at it and I am on an endless path leading to endless improvement. My goal is to empower the teams and the individuals I have the chance to work with and make that all the system works in harmony to release better products quicker and in the best work environment.

Furthermore, I am a certified Business Agility Coach, I help Senior Managers and C-Level members create the fertile ground for the road to Agile transformation. My expertise links both Agile knowledge and professional Coaching practices, making it the most suitable and efficient type of accompaniment for an enterprise multi-layered transformation.
