Andrea Szikszai
AGILE COACH
Budapest
Summary
I consider myself to be a fast learner who embraces new challenges and takes full ownership of her projects. I enjoy the combination of individual, team, and organizational-level development and improvement tasks. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all recipe — each team and situation requires a tailored approach. I thrive on questioning my own mental models and enjoy moments when I recognize and capture those shifts.
