What I offer
What is embodied agility?
Embodied Agility uses the intelligence of the body to make agility tangible and experienceable. It is a format for team development in which the basis and rules of new choreographic working methods and methods of somatic movement improvisation directly reflect and reinforce the principles of the agile mindset. Agility in thinking and acting is consciously trained through the body.
The combination of challenge and play creates shared experiences on a non-verbal communication and relationship level. Trust within a group can be rediscovered and a deep, tangible understanding of collective strength will emerge. Tried and tested formats of practical reflective learning counteract upon an already established failure culture and allow us to observe and perceive with all our senses.
Using the systemic approach to team development, this embodied knowledge is then analyzed together and fed back into everyday working life. The focus here is on support a team’s sensitivity to diversity, i.e. appreciating and including the individual strengths and characteristics of each team member in the group’s entity. Another focus is the daily working atmosphere, communication and decision-making patterns within the individual Scrum events.
The team is strengthened concretely and sustainably in its workflow and team performance. The keywords of this process are trust and curiosity.
Trainings and workshop formats
Embodied Agility – Team Flow
How do I stay present and connected in the transformation process?
I support agile teams and leaders in shifting their attention away from the head and towards the body at critical points in transformation processes. A look at your own body system can help you to find presence and connection with yourself and your team. Through short movement impulses and an easily accessible perception training, we create trust and become curious about each other again. Proven methods from improvisation expand our repertoire when it comes to entrenched decision-making and action patterns in the team. The newly acquired knowledge is integrated directly into everyday work processes. This supposed detour via the body is often the quickest way (back) to resource-oriented and effective cooperation.
Empowering through Diversity – Team Performance
Agile working and thinking requires multiple perspectives and skills. Teams become particularly successful when they, in addition to their individual skills, benefit from their diversity of lifestyles and experiences and can appreciate, endure and celebrate these differences. Finding trust, formulating needs, actively shaping your own working environment also builds a vocabulary, deeper critical knowledge and sensitivity around diversity topics in a wider context. This training program is therefore ideal to support a profound cultural transformation of the entire company, starting with a practical inward view directly inside the teams.

Gabriele has been supporting our institution in a long-term change process for some time now, while also coaching both the team and individual employees on specific projects, conflicts or issues in the short term. She manages to understand very different characters and how they work together, to get everyone involved, to build deep trust and to initiate reflection. She understands complex relationships and interlocking processes very quickly, always gets to the heart of the matter and never loses sight of the goal.
With her humor, her clarity and her high level of empathy, she succeeds in creating and maintaining a space of security and possible further development even in challenging situations. She incorporates exciting methods of agile coaching, design thinking and bodywork, while always reacting openly and flexibly to everything that arises in the process. We are very grateful to Gabriele for the enriching and sustainable collaboration!
Gabriele’s workshop was great – her combination of technical scenario planning with performance skills has helped me to make future visions more tangible and more actionable. Super productive and easy at the same time – that’s how workshops have to be!
