Carolin Metzner: From Agile Coach to AI Trainer (ONLINE)

Change Doesn't Wait — Neither Should You

A talk by Carolin Metzner, AI Trainer & Consultant

Change rarely arrives on schedule. Sometimes it comes as a slow realization. Sometimes it
arrives as a bankruptcy notice.

In this session, Carolin Metzner — AI Trainer, former Agile Coach, and self-described serial pivoter — takes us through a career that has never followed a straight line. From Art History to translator, PR Manager to Project Manager, Agile Coach to AI Trainer: each transition carried its own doubts, detours, and unexpected doors.

Drawing on her own lived experience of navigating change without a map, Carolin invites the audience into the conversation from the very first minute.

Using a Liberating Structures
format, participants will reflect on their own relationship with change — before Carolin uses her story as a mirror for what they share.

The talk is honest about the hard parts: being blinded by buzzwords, searching long for the right training, and finding clarity only after the ground gave way.

And it is equally honest about what made the difference: a community of people figuring it out alongside her, and the stubborn refusal to stay at the wall.
