Move to learn, think, and connect: How movement shapes Agile Teams

How movement shapes Agile Teams

Brain scientists are saying it loud and clear: we literally sit ourselves to death - at home, at work, and even in our Agile meetings. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In this talk, I’ll show how even a bit of movement can wake up our brains, boost focus, spark creativity, and help teams feel more connected. 

We’ll look at what research says about movement as “fuel” for the brain - why it makes learning easier, problem-solving faster, and team spirit stronger. You’ll get practical ideas for adding movement to your meetings and daily work, so your team can learn, think, and collaborate better (and have more fun doing it). All tips are simple, science-backed, and ready to use - no gym membership required!
