Absolutely fabulous day at Cornwall Education and Skills Festival at the brilliant Truro and Penwith College

I was delighted to run a hands on workshop introducing teachers and educators to agile approaches.

It was brilliant to share stories of how agile approaches can be applied across education from teaching to study, supporting SEND, ADHD, students, teachers and support teams, apprenticeships and more.

So brilliant I forgot to take any photos but here’s some of the lovely feedback from attendees

Thanks to all involved in a fantastic event looking forward to next year already

Are you juggling multiple projects while wearing numerous hats?
Working across teams and partners while navigating constant change?
Trying to improve how things work but struggling to create the space to do it?
Join us on Tuesday June 9 for a Museum Study webinar, Adaptable Agile Museums presented by Belinda Waldock.
Learn how museum teams across the UK are adopting agile approaches to navigate shifting landscapes, complex collaborations, uncertainty, and the unknown.
Agile museums use approaches that connect the whole museum, creating alignment across teams, projects, and priorities while enabling a more responsive and adaptable way of working.
Discover how to build resilience, flexibility, and adaptability across your organisation while juggling multiple projects and wearing numerous hats. At the same time, empower volunteers and ignite innovation and creativity.
This session is relevant across the whole museum, from exhibitions and events to education, collections, curation, conservation, marketing, leadership, and communications.
In this talk, Belinda Waldock will explain what agile is and why it works so effectively in museums and cultural organisations. She will share stories and insights from her work across the UK, bringing practical examples to life.
You’ll leave with simple, actionable ideas to help you become more adaptable in both your work and your wider life.
Belinda Waldock works with museums across the UK to adopt agile approaches that build organisational resilience and support innovation. With a background in growth, innovation, and wellbeing, she has founded and grown not-for-profit organisations and is the author of Being Agile in Business, published by Pearson.

Being Agile in Work & Life: Strength Through Adaptability
Purpose, pivots and perseverance.

Agile yoga.. about as far as you can get from tech agile yet it worked so well…

There was a time I could barely stand or lift my arms … I’d lost my strength, flexibility, balance… I faced unknown unknowns … the end of my career and the end of my lifelong love of riding horses

An agile mindset, a yoga pose, a Wii fit and a goal to achieve minimum viable me helped me ultimately recover and regain maximum agility to event again with my pony.

It was a landmark moment this week standing back on stage at Holistic Her, sharing my story, and my tree pose. It’s not a story I thought I’d tell, it didn’t seem it would be relevant or interesting to anyone else.

Now I have, I am amazed at how strongly it landed with others…

One foot in front of the other is my mantra now.

Was so inspiring to hear your story today. Thank you and well done for sharing it with us all 🤍

I just wanted to say how inspired I felt afterwards. Hearing you speak about your journey and your work really resonated with me—it was both motivating and refreshing.

Your talk was incredibly inspiring 🙌🏼

What a story you have to share! Keep telling it. Keep inspiring others. 🙌❤️🙌

You did an awesome talk, really genuine and refreshing. X

Your talk has really got me thinking. Being agile is such a skill that can be used in so many ways. Also - you and your beautiful horse jumping off the broken bridge felt like such a metaphor for several parts of my life 🙌🏼🏇

An inspiring keynote from Belinda Waldock, Being Agile

A masterclass in being agile — in work, in life, and in ourselves.

Being Agile in Work & Life: Strength Through
Adaptability

This session was a powerful reminder that agility isn't just a business buzzword — it's a mindset.

Belinda shared a wonderfully brave and honest story, weaving together physical, mental and business agility through her own personal experience. A real reflection on what it means to adapt, evolve and keep moving forward, even when the path shifts unexpectedly.

* Being brave enough to pivot
* Finding strength in uncertainty
* Trusting yourself to adapt when things change

A moment to pause and reflect on how we show up

- not just when things are steady, but when they're not.

Sure agile processes are amazing, but the mindset, that’s where magic can happen, with purpose, pivots and perseverance

Being Agile in Work & Life: Strength Through Adaptability

Belinda Waldock, Being Agile

Agility isn’t just a business strategy. It’s a way of navigating uncertainty without losing yourself.

Belinda Waldock, agile business coach and author of Being Agile in Business, brings lived wisdom to the conversation. Her journey through business pivots, long covid recovery, and returning to eventing after being told she’d never ride again has shaped a deeply human understanding of resilience.

In this session, Belinda shares how adaptability can become a source of strength rather than strain — in leadership, in business, and in life.

In this session, you will:
• Understand what true agility looks like beyond growth metrics
• Learn practical tools to navigate uncertainty with clarity
• Explore how to recalibrate without self-criticism
• Reconnect with direction and purpose after setbacks
• Build resilience that feels sustainable from the inside out
A grounded, compassionate guide to moving forward — even when the path changes.

In these times of such uncertainty and disruption all we can do is put one foot in front of the other, support each other and take things one at a time.

Sending love and hope to all this spring equinox xx

Today I spent time with arts and heritage professionals exploring a different way to plan, prioritise and deliver work when everything feels important at once.

Not “do more faster”.
Not another layer of process.

But a practical Agile approach that actually works in creative, complex and approval-heavy environments.

What came up again and again:
• Too many priorities competing for attention
• Work stuck waiting for approval or “perfect wording”
• Big funded projects alongside unpredictable visitor and marketing demands
• Teams in meetings all day with no space to think
• A quiet pressure to get everything right before sharing anything

We worked hands-on with:
• Breaking big projects into small, workable actions
• Sprint-style planning that creates momentum without overwhelm
• Simple prioritisation tools like T-shirt sizing and MoSCoW
• Making work visible so nothing lives only in your head
• Using Trello or Microsoft Planner without them becoming another burden
• Sharing work earlier to reduce risk, build confidence and move things forward

One participant summed it up perfectly:
“I can finally see what actually needs doing next.”

That’s the shift I see every time.
More clarity. Less mental load. Better conversations about what really matters.

Agile isn’t just for tech.
And it doesn’t need jargon, stickies everywhere or a complete organisational overhaul.

It works particularly well in museums, galleries, heritage and creative teams because it values collaboration, relationships and learning as much as delivery and ticking boxes.

If you’re juggling multiple projects, funding deadlines, stakeholders and day-to-day demands, my upcoming Agile Project Management course is designed exactly for that reality.

A half-day introduction to Agile Management for those working in Arts & Heritage organisations.
