The Visible Servant Leadership program

From ceremonial Scrum Master to visible servant leader. Scrum Master 4.0 with clarity, courage and calm.

This is a personal servant leadership program for Scrum Masters who feel there’s more in them.
You won’t get more Agile theory. You’ll get structure, reflection and practice to grow as a visible, grounded servant leader.

This is a personal servant leadership program

My goal for you:

  • that as a Scrum Master, you have a clear definition of servant leadership

  • that you see your role in the system (team – PO – organization) with greater clarity and confidence

  • that you recognize where you lead, hide, over-give, or restore and know what to do instead

  • that you actively increase psychological safety in your team: people feel safe to speak up, share concerns and learn

  • that you practice concrete servant leadership skills in your daily work, so that you grow into a more visible, calmer Scrum Master 4.0

What you will find here

  • Programs that help you grow from ceremonial Scrum Master to Scrum Master 4.0

  • A focus on servant leadership, psychological safety and collaboration with your Product Owner

  • Practical tools: superpower guides, reflection cards, canvases, mini-retros & experiments

  • A Servant Leadership Practice Studio to train real skills in your daily work

  • Warm, honest guidance – no hype, no jargon, just real tools for real growth

Psychological safety is your foundation

In this program, psychological safety is not an extra topic. it’s the foundation behind everything you practice:

- slowing down and really listening (The Observer)

- naming what you see in the system (The Sensemaker)

- protecting focus and sustainable pace (The Focus Keeper)

- staying connected to what truly matters (The Compass)

Who this is for

This program is for you if:

  • Scrum Masters, Agile coaches and team coaches who work with Agile teams

  • you often feel your work as a Scrum Master is invisible or misunderstood

  • you support everyone, but doubt how you show up as a leader

  • you’re tired of theory-heavy Agile courses and want practical, personal growth

  • you feel there’s more in you, and you’re ready to grow from the inside out

  • you want to be more than a process guardian a bridge builder, challenger and catalyst for growth

How it works

  • You follow a modular online program, each module focuses on one key aspect of visible servant leadership.

  • Every module has 3 parts:
    Learn – short, focused lessons
    Reflect – guided worksheets and canvases
    Practice – a Servant Leadership Practice Studio with superpower-based skills.

  • You apply everything directly to your own team, Product Owner and organization – always linked to real situations, not theory in the air.

  • You move at your own pace: no live calls required, you can spread it out over weeks or work in deep-focus blocks.

  • All tools (reflection sheets, canvases, superpower cards, team exercises) are yours to reuse in your daily work and future sprints.

Program structure

The Visible Servant Leadership program is built as a series of modules.
You can start small, or walk the full path.

  • Starter Journey (Modules 1 & 2)

    • Module 1 – Foundations of Servant Leadership

    • Module 2 – Lead with Clarity

    • Servant Leadership Practice Studio:

      • The Observer

      • The Compass

      • The Focus Keeper

      • The Sensemaker

  • Advanced modules (Modules 3, 4 & 5) - The Core program
    Later modules go deeper into themes like:

    • authenticity and inner leadership

    • boundaries and courage in conflict

    • partnership with your Product Owner

    • visibility and influence in the organization

    • integrating everything into your own servant leadership roadmap

You can:

  • start with the Starter Journey

  • and add advanced modules when you’re ready for the next layer.

If you’re not ready for the full path yet, you can start with the Visible Servant Leadership – Starter Journey:

- 2 modules (Foundations & Clarity)

- 5 short lessons per module

- reflection tools you can reuse and the first 4 superpower-based skills in the Practice Studio.

From there, you can decide if and when you want to continue into the full program.

What you’ll grow into

By working through this program, you’ll gradually move:

  • from feeling invisible and overloaded → to clearer in your role and value

  • from reacting and fixing → to leading with purpose, focus and calm

  • from avoiding or smoothing over tension → to working with conflict in a way that builds psychological safety

  • from doing “all the things” → to making conscious choices about where you show up

  • from doubting your impact → to owning your contribution as a Scrum Master 4.0

You become the kind of servant leader who quietly raises the level of psychological safety in the team so flow, experiments and even AI can actually work.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to start with the Starter Journey, or can I jump straight into the Core Program?

You can start directly with the full program (Modules 1–5), but I recommend starting with the Starter Journey (Modules 1–2) if you haven’t done the inner work yet.
Modules 1–2 give you your foundations and clarity.
Modules 3–5 build on that and go deeper into partnership, conflict and system influence.

2. How much time will it take?

You can move through the program in small chunks. Think: 10–20 minutes per lesson, plus extra time for reflection and practice.

Some people: spread it out over several months (e.g. 1 lesson per week) others work in focused blocks (e.g. a few evenings or Fridays)

The value comes from doing the reflections and experiments, not from rushing to “finish” all modules.

3. Is this program only for senior Scrum Masters?

No. This program is for Scrum Masters (and Agile / team coaches) who: feel there is more in them want to grow as servant leaders and are ready to look honestly at their own patterns

You don’t need to be “perfectly Agile” or highly experienced. You do need curiosity and a willingness to reflect.

4. Do I need a very mature Agile organization for this to work?

No. Most people who will use this program work in messy, real-life organizations. The tools and exercises are designed for that reality:

pressure, changing priorities, unclear roles

Product Owners under stress

stakeholders who don’t always “get” Agile

You’ll learn to lead as a servant leader inside that system, not in an ideal textbook environment.

5. Is this self-paced, or are there live calls?

The program is fully self-paced. You can follow the lessons, reflections and Practice Studio in your own rhythm. There are no live calls required to get value from the program.

In the future, I may offer live sessions or coaching on top of this but the core program stands on its own.

6. Do I need a team to benefit from the program?

No. You can already benefit a lot just by:

reflecting on your own practice using the Superpower Training Cards in your own meetings and conversationsIf you do have a team and Product Owner, you can also use:

the Partnership Canvas, the Tension Map and System on a Page as team exercises to bring the work into the group.

7. How long do I keep access?

You keep access to all 5 modules, reflection sheets and Practice Studio tools. You can come back to them whenever your context changes (new team, new Product Owner, new organization).

8. In which language is the program?

The program, worksheets and Practice Studio are in English. You’re welcome to reflect and write in your own language in your notebook.

9. Can my employer pay for this?

Yes. Many organizations are happy to invest in their Scrum Masters. You can simply forward the payment link or invoice to your manager or HR / Learning department as part of your development budget.

Still doubting if this is for you?

This program might be for you if you recognise yourself in one (or more) of these:

You’re done being “just the process person” and want to grow into a visible, trusted servant leader.

You feel there is more in you, but you don’t want another heavy theory course you want structure, reflection and real-life practice.

You quietly carry a lot (for your team, your PO, your organization) and you’re ready to work on clarity, boundaries and impact in a kind, honest way.

If you feel a little scared and a little excited reading this,
you’re probably exactly in the right place
