Billie Schuttpelz + Joanne Stone
Day Three – January 26, 2017
Billie Schuttpelz is an Agile Transformation Coach. She is a ‘force of nature’ breaking up the boulders blocking transformation; building bridges between technical people and business partners. She applies the perspective gained in a 20 year career including engagements in 5 countries to provide dynamic creativity and positive energy to everything she does. Billie knows that everyone matters, and impacting one person can have ripple effects throughout the entire organization, culture and people. Billie’s ability to make the impossible seem possible is what powers transformations.
Joanne Stone is an Agile Coach, and a technology specialist with a rich IT background. Her career journey includes development and leading teams and individuals to deliver awesome products. About 5 years ago, Joanne recognized products were taking longer to deliver, costing more, delivering less functionality and increasingly disappointing the business. Given a choice of leaving the company to pursue other opportunities or staying and improving the situation, Joanne stayed and helped the organization adopt a new way of working.
Falling in love with Agile and the people caring aspect of it, Joanne immediately felt at home. It kindled a part of her heart that had been covered with many blankets of corporate culture that she had forgotten. Now, Joanne is on a journey to help leaders, teams and organizations adopt this new human centric type of working to help individuals and teams be the best they can.
Billie & Joanne share personal stories of transformation to amplify their leadership, including their experience in Love2Lead.

With Billie Schuttpelz
Spend 20 minutes one-to-one with me. We will work through one of your boulders that is blocking you and come up with a plan to reduce or eliminate it.
You heard me talk about the analogy of boulders. I use this analogy in my coaching sessions to illustrate things that feel like we are pushing a boulder uphill. We have things that are taking our energy and blocking our sight to the future vision that we know is out there. What is keeping you from being able to lead with heart and soul?
To prepare for our session, spend some time thinking about how you would answer the following questions. Then when we talk, we’ll have a look at what came up for you and outline strategies to reduce or eliminate the boulder.
Preparation questions to work through:
- Identify one boulder that you are having a hard time pushing uphill; that is blocking your view; or is weighing you down. Some examples I’ve coached recently are: “I have lost key members across several teams and we aren’t going to meet our goals”, “I’m doing the majority of the work on the team and I’m exhausted”, “I know I’m supposed to be telling everyone it’s ok to fail…but that just doesn’t make any sense to me”
- What is it about this boulder that feels so difficult?
- What would happen if this boulder never moved?
- Are other people involved that are preventing the boulder from being moved?
- What steps have you already taken to resolve this boulder?
