Flâner

The Flâneurs have a retrospective on their first 12 episodes: a glimpse into the behind the scenes conversations that go into the making of Flâner.

The Flâneurs discuss how change agents - coaches being among change agents - are in a position that lends itself to loneliness. Is that just part of the gig? How do we deal with being isolated or being ejected by systems when the role we’ve been hired to do creates more change or friction than perhaps some were expecting or prepared to deal with?

The Flâneurs with special guest John Cutler discuss feature factories, career Wardley Mapping, Trojan Horses, community, click-bait, and Dungeons & Dragons.

The Flâneurs chat about the topic of a talk Dan gives titled "The No [One is an] Asshole Rule"

Is there such a thing as “Agile”? Is there such a thing as an “Agile Coach”?The Flâneurs discuss recent debates about whether “Agile” or “Agile Coaching” exist and arrive at the conclusion that, like Jollof Rice, the world is better off having multiple versions, each of which has its place in the right context.

The Flânuers discuss start talking about Matt’s recent LinkedIn post where he muses about how to help without making a big deal of it and then meander through the side streets and alleys adjoining that road.Is it necessary to do “double work” and work in both the old and new ways to beget the change you want? How do you deal with “micromanagers”? When is coaching effective and when might it backfire? How to the principles of Kanban come into play?

The Flânuers with special guest Ange Hilton discuss their observations about product discovery in the wild.

The Flânuers discuss return-to-office policies after seeing and engaging with posts on the topic over the past week. Where are people at their best? Is there a one-size-fits-all approach? What are the pros and cons of in-office work?
