Psychological Safety Meetup with Karen Kemerling and Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Agile and Scrum training and coaching. We collaborate with stellar people –like Karen Kemerling, a globally recognized Agile Leadership educator and coach. Our training takes place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our Agile workshops and Agile coaching sessions can also be offered virtually, reducing your need to travel.

While many trainers fly into metro Detroit to deliver Scrum and Agile classes at a hotel, and then leave, we live here and support the local Agile community. We continue to sponsor regional Agile conferences and meetups. We have successfully run Agile and Certified ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Agile Leadership courses for multiple teams from globally recognized organizations. We also provide Agile coaching for great companies, helping them with their Agile journey.

We are planning a series of free virtual meetups for our Agile friends.

Meetup with Karen Kemerling – February 8, 2023

Psychological Safety and Virtual Lean Coffee

In this 90 minute meetup Karen will discuss advanced Psychological Safety topics with you.

What is psychological safety?
Why does it matter to companies?
What are the stages a team, group, company must go thru to build psychological safety?

This includes building psychological safety thru four stages: Inclusion, Learning, Contributing, and Challenging the status quo.

These are the stages to build a culture that encourages employees to bring their best self to work and the building blocks that empower innovative and thriving companies.

Student Successes

The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

- SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

- SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

- Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students. It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

- De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
