"I'm so pleased with the demos and integration of our work across our sites. The teams are now collaborating very well with improved efficiency. Where there are interdependencies, we have removed roadblocks and collaborate and work in parallel. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support. It was pivotal to getting us to this great place. I sincerely enjoy learning from you and your expertise in teamwork and agile. You have taught me a ton while also asking tough questions that provide me with a new way of thinking as I work through the answers."

"Lola came to our somewhat chaotic organization and in a few short months was able to teach us so much about agile, scrum ceremonies, facilitating meetings, being a scrum master and much more, as well as gave us useful tools that I personally will use and apply for years to come! I can't thank her enough for her contribution!"

" My experience working with Lola Stice, both as a trainer and AGILE coach was excellent. Lola is a highly skilled AGILE coach who was hired at BD, to help redefine our AGILE/SCRUM practices in the Technology Solutions group. Lola adjusted quickly to our environment and challenges. She provided a wealth of experience, knowledge and workshops on techniques which I and our teams immensely benefitted from. Coming into an organization as a coach to help foster change is a tough situation for any skilled individual; however, Lola stepped up and welcomed the challenge and did an amazing job working with so many cross-functional disciplines to help put the framework into place.

Randy Lucien
Senior Program Manager at Becton Dickinson
"Her (Lola) strong interpersonal skills and leadership abilities were recognized by the management team and she was asked to serve as Scrum Master for RainTree’s flagship Practice Analytics product. Her quick transition to the agile management role and the successful delivery of that product confirmed the breadth of her abilities. Lola’s common sense, enthusiasm, and technical abilities along with her leadership skills make her a valuable addition to any team."
Harry Franz
Program Manager at RainTree Oncology Services (now Cardinal Health)
" I have been working with Lola for quite some time at BD. She is a passionate advocate for all things SCRUM, backed by hands-on experience and variety of deviations from the "absolute". She understand "what", but more importantly, can explain "why". SCRUM either works for organization or it does not and that distinct difference is based on people like Lola. Was pleasure working with her and I am certain that any organization she will join will benefit tremendously from her skill and experience."
Marat Rikelman
Assoc Director, Software Engineering at Becton Dickinson
"Lola is an excellent trainer with expert knowledge of Scrum and Agile. She strives as a trainer to provide her clients with the best simulations and learning practices, and successfully achieves that goal. Her class is well organized, entertaining, and interactive. Agile and Scrum are not difficult methodologies until people are factored in. She demonstrates that point continuously throughout the use of well-planned simulations and provides ways to overcome conflicts. I had previous experience in Agile and Scrum, having used in in my last position for a year and a half. Lola's training brought new insights into the process. I would highly recommend Lola as a trainer."
Janine Dolgas
Software Development Manager at Verimatrix
"As a scrum master Lola is passionate and skilled agile & Scrum practitioner. Her ability to understand data, data patterns, her knowledge about data life cycle and how data flows put her one step ahead of any scrum master I’ve worked with so far. She is sensitive to her audience and that makes her great trainer and advocate of scrum/agile methodology. In the time that I have worked with Lola, I have been impressed by her thorough, creative approach to her work."

"I had the pleasure of participating in a Scrum class taught by Lola. Fortunately, the class was small. This helped each of us to get one-on-one-type attention from Lola. She certainly knows her stuff, and also is a people-person which certainly helps when learning a new and unfamiliar skill. I highly recommend Lola as a helpful, energetic, knowledgeable Trainer."
