#### We’re thrilled to announce the second stop of Agile Yorkshire on Tour, taking place on Thursday 17 July 2025, in collaboration with BCS South Yorkshire at Sheffield Hallam University!

After the brilliant success of our first tour edition, we’re heading back on the road—this time bringing two incredible speakers to inspire, challenge, and connect us across the agile community.

***

🎤 Simon Cookson – “Why I Lied to People at Work”
Simon shares a candid, eye-opening story about the lies we tell at work—and why they happen more often than we admit. With insight drawn from neuroscience and years of coaching technical leaders, he’ll explore how understanding our psychological needs can help build more honest, human workplaces.

🎤 Christina Lovelock – “Navigating Your Tech Career”
Whether you’re starting out or recalibrating, Christina offers powerful tools and frameworks to help you find clarity, motivation, and direction in your career. Learn how to job-craft your current role and make informed decisions about your future in tech.
