Savita Pahuja - Agile Coach, Trainer and Mentor
Hi, I am Savita.
I am an Agile Coach, Trainer and Mentor.I have experience of working in start-ups as well as big financial organisations in distributed and multi-cultural environments.
My coaching spectrum involves enterprise coaching, team coaching, leadership coaching and facilitation of workshops to align the vision and plan business outcomes.I believe in helping the clients look into the whole system and bring sustainable change for their good. My coaching is inspired by “Transformative Coaching” and “Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching.”
I am an explorer, which makes me curious to try new ways to bring improvement to the client’s work and personal life. I live my life based on the quote:
“The gladdest moment in my life is a departure into unknown lands.”
My Journey
After completing my Masters in Computer Science, I started working as a Java Developer. I noticed many dysfunctions at my work. Most prominent were the hand-offs between business and technology. The other one was lack of confidence in estimation. When my project decided to opt Scrum, I got fascinated seeing how these challenges can be fixed by increasing collaboration and transparency. That’s when I decided to become an Agilist.
I started as a Scrum Master. I continued my learning and attended training courses on CSM (Certified Scrum Master), CSPO (Certified Scrum product Owner) and became CSP (Certified Scrum Professional). After few years of experience, I joined Xebia as an Agile Coach. I became active in Agile community and learned through working with different clients.
After some time I moved to Singapore to explore different work culture. I worked at Palo IT consulting and through which with DBS as an Enterprise Agile Coach. I worked on launching Agile Trainings and delivered many public and in house classes.
Along the way I explored ICF (International Coaching Federation) coaching and got interested in improving my coaching skills. Years later I moved to Canada and became CEC (Certified Enterprise Coach) and CTC (Certified Team Coach). I also achieved PCC (Professional Certified Coach) from ICF.
I worked a lot with distributed teams and wrote practices in my book: Distributed Agile Framework. I also wrote articles on InfoQ.
