The Weekly Journey
Week 1

You will also get your own Study Buddy to boost your engagement and get extra support in your homework.

We learn how to support the team to become high-performing and how to foster a growth mindset. We also take a look into transformational leadership and the impact it has on business growth, dig into the learning organization and the Buddy System and we learn how to do a Design Thinking workshop as a team.

What Former Students Say
Åsa Gugolz, Technical product manager, SE
"The straightforward and not to long videos and texts in the training material along with the positive energy in the visuals makes it really easy to assimilate the information.
An extra bonus is that the material is available for a long time afterwards. I was positively surprised of how much I enjoyed the coaching-sessions and the workshops where I really came to appreciate the discussions with my classmates and coaches."
Ulrika Ekbohm, HR-chef på Svenska Spel, SE
"Konkreta roliga övningar, generösa ledare och härlig stämning! Jag har fått med mig en massa bra idéer och metoder som verkligen kommer att bidra till mitt fortsatta experimenterande i vardagen."

Thomas AC Kofoed, DK, Professional Agile Coach & Scrum Master
"Big shout out to Dandy People and their 4 weeks Agile program! We worked with topics like Agile principles, Flow, feedback loops, Agile teams, Business Agility, Cynefin, conflict resolution, you name it.
I have been to several classes, certifications during my 10 years in this community and I can strongly recommend this one👌
4 weeks of intensive agile training ! 4 top of the class Agile coaches! Whats not to like :-) Practical exercises, online games and selfstudy. This program is so much more valuble than many other 2 days courses.
Dandy People! Sign me up for next round."

"I would strongly recommend Dandy People’s Exclusive 5 Week Online Agile Program to anyone who wants to learn more about how an Agile mindset can improve the ways you do business.
Dandy People’s team of high-energy, friendly, and experienced coaches and trainers, led by founder Mia Kolmodin, is ready throughout the course to answer questions, share experience and offer practical support to help participants build an Agile Toolbox.
After the course, participants are encouraged to stay in touch and currently have free access to the on-line library of support material, a very deep and insightful resource.
So if you are about to embark on an Agile transformation, want to brush up your Agile coaching skills or simply want to learn more about how an Agile mindset can make a positive impact on your work, look no further and book a place on an upcoming session."
Jesper Ingvardtsen, DK

"Without doubt the best Agile program I’ve ever attended. 4 weeks of intensive Agile training with fellow Agilists - both new and more experienced.
Brilliant combination of theory and practical exercises conducted as selfstudy, homework and online sessions, facilitated by highly skilled Agile coaches. Definitely exceeding my expectations and worth the investment.
With this program Dandy People has created a format that has unlimited potential. I will gladly attend a future part two of this program."
