“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere”
— CHINESE PROVERB

Background

I have been working in the learning and development and Agile space since 2006. I LOVE learning as a holistic process, which aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning.

With a deep passion for technology and business, I am an innovative and performance driven Consultant with extensive experience in all aspects of business and people development.

I specialise in working with technologists, high profile trainers, rising stars, coaches, agilists and software professionals of all disciplines to create confident, motivated and fulfilled high performing individuals and teams. “I like to shine rough diamonds!”

Due to frustration with a lack of high quality agile and technical training providers, in 2011 I set up Learning Connexions; in the quest of providing a “learning experience” taught by the best instructors in the world.

Lucky has built a brilliant training company which I’d be keen to use again having just done the superb CSM and CSPO courses led by Mike Cohn.

As well as slick organisation and excellent materials the best indicator was the the people that Lucky has inspired around her.

Where do I start with Lucky, put simply she is brilliant. She approaches everything in a friendly and professional manner and provides excellent advice and support. She has been a great support professionally and personally for me over the past couple of years.

Lucky is one of those go to people who often goes above and beyond in order to help you. I cannot thank Lucky and her team enough for all of the help and support they have given to Agile South Coast, from helping with speakers to providing giveaways asking for nothing in return.

No question, I will be staying in touch with Lucky for years to come and cannot recommend Learning Connexions enough for your training needs.

Lucky has a very professional approach and fundamentally understands various Agile methodologies both academically and in application in industry.

It was due to her attention to detail and passion around Agile I decided to train with her company and Mike Cohn many years ago; and have subsequently enhanced my knowledge. I have sent my own company’s clients to undertake learning and development with her exceptionally impressive list of trainers whom all have vast amounts of industry expertise and publication footprint.

I have been fortunate to work with a range of organisations from Start-ups to Global Banks where I have been an external Agile Consultant/Programme Director. I have always advised the clients that I am working with to gain further knowledge by speaking to Lucky and undertaking certification with her company.

Her ability to coach, mentor and advise around Agile and software development learning and development makes her the person to go to.

As an event organiser and training provider Lucky is simply the best. She creates a great experience for he customers and looks after her internal team and trainers. Working with her as a trainer feels like a collaboration, I am not delivering training for her, we are putting on an event.

Lucky is also someone who is a connecter, she brings different groups of people together. And I am very thankful to Lucky as a supporter and investor in both the Agile and Software Development communities.

Lucky has a rare ability to “see” people as they are. She connects with talented people and, crucially, helps them get even better at what they do.

Working with Lucky has always been a pleasure and a rewarding experience.

Jose Casal, Executive Coach
Actineo Consulting

I have worked with Lucky and her team at Learning Connexions at the beginning of my career as a Trainer and Facilitator in the Agile and Business Agility space.

Lucky has been instrumental in creating opportunities for me and for a group of highly skilled agile practitioners, finding clients with engaged and motivated learners who were already actively experimenting with Business Agility.

It has been a delight to work together with Lucky for her continuous support, professional and most importantly for her values being aligned to mine.

Andrea Darabos, Enterprise Agile Coach
Lean Advantage

I have known Lucky for over 12 years, originally studying together many years ago. Over the last 5 years or so I have spent more time with Lucky in the coaching/personal development area.

Lucky has always given me robust feedback on my strengths and weaknesses and has suggested numerous development courses that I would find beneficial.

Lucky is great at building up your confidence whilst also always being fair and constructive. I would highly recommend Lucky!

Jo Hill, People Director
Ensono Digital

Lucky & Learning Connexions are a top-notch training provider. As a trainer, I am extremely picky about every last detail about my classes.

Lucky is extremely detailed-oriented and organized. She is also quick to respond and is adept at anticipating issues and then resolving them before they become problems. She is highly professional and a pleasure to work with.

I can highly recommend Learning Connexions for anyone looking for training. I can similarly highly recommend them to any trainers looking for a partner to organize their courses.

Mike Cohn, Certified Scrum Trainer
Mountain Goat Software

As a trainer I come across many different training organisation, unfortunately many of my experiences have been bad.

When I met Lucky it was like a breath of fresh air. She is open, honest, manages my expectations and delivers what she says she is going to do. I have finally met my match in levels of organisation! She is enthusiastic and passionate about what she does, and this is very visible when you hear her speak.

Lucky builds a great team around her and from spending time together I know she is truly invested in their futures. My final word for Lucky is ‘Integrity’. In a world where everyone is seemingly trying to get to the top, she maintains integrity throughout, and this is why I want be around and work with her.

I have nothing but praise for Lucky, adding her to your network/friendship group is not something you will regret.

Helen Meek, Certified Kanban Trainer and Coach
RippleRock Consulting

Lucky is basically a magician!

Through a ruthless dedication to getting the best possible deal for an organisation and unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge and experience of the learning and development space, she manages time and time again to find ways to maximise the value we get from our training budgets.

As the manager responsible for the Amido DevOps Academy I had a huge task to take these four people from zero-to-DevOps in six months, quite honestly I would not have been able to do it without Lucky.
