Then the certificate “Agile Practitioner” is suitable for you. With us you will learn to underpin the minimum of agility with attitude and methods of transactional analysis.
How does the continuing education work?
We take agile seriously and design the training as an agile project. You apply agile methods to your learning. This means that you work out your expectations for each module (sprint) using the sprint planning approach and document this in your backlog. During the training, you will develop a holocratic structure for your organization as an example of permanent adaptation to changes in the system. You use the Kanban board to check work progress and obstructions in the work flow. You finish with the certificate “Agile Practitioner”. For this, you present your growth in knowledge (increments) of the modules (sprints) and present your learning and self-awareness.
During the training you will receive supervision in order to develop yourself personally.

Thomas Wehrs
I have experienced many different worlds: trained in the civil service, held several leadership positions in an organization, managed my advertising and acquisition agency, partnered with my marketing and research agency in the U.S., and finally coached and developed organizations.
In 2011, I came into contact with the philosophy of transactional analysis (TA). I felt their power and effectiveness and experienced individual development in my own thinking, feeling and acting.
I also experience personal growth in the agile working world. Here, new thinking, different perceptions and agreements between people are needed so that agility becomes established as its own culture and sustainable mindset in the organization and creates a new freedom for everyone.
Contact at eye level in the here and now (basic position +/+) is for me a basic recipe for success in the application of transactional analysis in the agile context. With the concept of basic needs, I focus on psychological safety in the complex environment.
I am a member of two coaching associations and the German Association for Transactional Analysis DGTA as well as the European Association for Transactional Analysis EATA, and thus commit myself to adhere to the professional and ethical guidelines of these associations.
