Malene did such an excellent job facilitating a virtual workshop! WOW! I have walked away with new tools that encourage engagement purely from observing Malene in this session. Definitely a key highlight of the conference for me.

Malene is a subject matter expert and her passion for her subject, is remarkable.  She takes her audience with her and ignite the ‘want to know more’ in delegates!  I thoroughly enjoyed attending her workshops and will recommend her to any team or organisation.

Renette Arangies, Old Mutual

You’re an amazing leader, you know when to take control and when to let go. You kept us together and inspired us to have a spirit of excellence through a tough time.

– Anonymous, SUGSA Committee

I was suitably impressed with the love and gratitude the Pres Les team and managers poured out for Malene Jacobsen.

They called her work and her ‘magic’ and covered her with all sorts of other compliments as we walked around the company.

– Trina Luiz, Business Unit Executive

I have worked in many teams and each experience offered a completely different interpretation of Agile and/or Scrum. For me, Malene’s workshop cleared the incredibly muddied waters! I now have a MUCH clearer idea of what Agile is, and how awesome Scrum is. Thank you Malene.
