Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Carina Silfverduk, a distinguished Agile Coach and Software Engineer, with over 25 years of experience navigating the evolving landscape of technology. My career has been a testament to the transformative power of adopting a growth and Agile mindset, beginning with my roots in software development, where I specialized in the creation of web applications for a broad spectrum of sectors, including corporate, small business, non-profits, and individual ventures.

My transition from hands-on software engineering to Agile coaching was driven by a passion for leveraging the Agile mindset to foster organizational change and personal growth. This journey has equipped me with a profound understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in responding to the increasing pace of change within diverse teams and organizations. It has also given me many opportunities to establish and build trust between amazing and very different people, from differing functional roles to different world views.

Central to my approach is a steadfast belief in the Agile mindset as a catalyst for change. By emphasizing adaptability, resilience, and a commitment to continuous learning, I have guided teams and organizations through their transformation journeys, evolving them to align with their unique contexts and objectives. My focus on nurturing a supportive and collaborative environment encourages open communication and mutual respect, laying the groundwork for sustained agility and improvement.

Leadership, for me, is about championing a people-first philosophy. I am dedicated to creating spaces where team members feel valued and empowered, fostering a culture where every individual can contribute to their full potential. This people-centric approach extends to all facets of my work, from strategic planning to daily interactions, ensuring that Agile is more than any framework or approach —instead it is a way of thinking and working that prioritizes human potential and collaboration.

In the face of today’s VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world, I bring a strategic and adaptive mindset to agile coaching. I emphasize the necessity of adapting to the fast pace of change, fostering resilience, and pursuing excellence through iterative learning and growth. My aim is to equip organizations with the mindset and tools necessary to navigate complexity and achieve success in an ever-changing global landscape.

My commitment to learning, growth and agile mindset is unwavering.
