To Serve over Not to Serve, is that even a question?

How much are Scrum Masters recognised today, where teams are more disconnected from each other and needs can become discounted? What can we do to serve others, and have our own needs met?

Transactional Analysis created by Eric Berne describes the dynamics when we serve others unselfishly, and the effects that this has on people and teams. Serving the organisation, serving the development team, and serving the product owner; what is the outcome of doing this. Find out a bit about TA, authentic emotions, human hungers and needs from John and Nims (Agile Coach and TA Practitioner). How to serve and not to serve, how to avoid online zombie scrum and things you can do to bring balance. This will be an interactive workshop session with some useful actionable takeaways.
