Ravneet, it was a real pleasure attending your training this week! My entire team learned a lot. I had read several kanban books before your class, but you helped me to connect the material and understand it to a much greater depth than I had before. I look forward to working with you again!

I just wanted to thank you for an amazing few days last week. The classes were exceptional! I learned so much during the class, you're a terrific facilitator. You have a wonderful facilitation style, keeping the group on track while being able to effectively participate in our discussions and provide valuable feedback. 

I'm hoping we can get more scrum masters here at Petco trained on Kanban, I'll definitely pass along your name.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ravneet Kaur as a trainer and coach.

I had the opportunity to participate in her 2-day “Scrum Master Training Class” in July 2017 in Munich, which was an inspiring experience in multiple dimensions.

Ravneet presented a dense curriculum in outstanding clarity. In addition to that, she enriched her presentation with examples of her own coaching and project experience.

In the practical exercises, Ravneet built effective learning groups by activating participants of different personalities and backgrounds.

Overall, Ravneet provided a training that was one of the most valuable events I have ever participated in. Both in terms of knowledge transfer and personal inspiration.

I highly recommend her as trainer, learning accelerator, facilitator and coach.

I have worked with Ravneet as Business Analyst on a strategic project within my company. 

Ravneet was the Program manager of the global project. She has a really good skill and huge experience within the Agile methodology, always available to give efficient advices or even training to make things going forward. 
Competency, huge work capacity and good sense of contact give her a natural leadership skill.

I was very impressed by the initiatives Ravneet takes. She is very experienced in software processes and able to document process descriptions in a manner that are easy to understand by users as well for the ones more remote. Ravneet is accurate and has good communication skills. Further I like the friendly manner in being persistent needed to achieving goals.
