Agile Self-Development
Agile Self-Development explores how to design the second chapter of work and life.
After spending years — often decades — building careers, many of us start asking different questions. What kind of work do we actually want to do next? What pace of life feels sustainable? And what does “enough” really look like?
Hosted by Product Leader and Agile Practitioner Helene Amster Kopel, this podcast blends ideas from agile thinking, professional development, and real-life career experience to explore how our careers can evolve over time.
Instead of making dramatic pivots or starting over, the second chapter is about experimenting, learning, and intentionally designing what comes next.
Episodes include practical insights on skills like consulting, networking, and influence, along with deeper conversations about meaning, fulfillment, and redefining success in the later stages of a career.
If you’ve spent years climbing the ladder and are starting to wonder what comes next, you’re not alone.
Because the first chapter of our careers was about climbing.
The second chapter is about designing.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is one of the most common fears out there. In fact, some experts estimate that as much as 77% of people have some level of anxiety regarding public speaking. Yet for many of us, it’s something we may have to do as part of our jobs or community.
My guest today is Eddie Rice, Author of Toast: Short Speeches, Big Impact. Eddie is a speechwriter and public speaking coach with over 10 years of experience in helping business leaders, keynote speakers, TED talk presenters, and everyday people, enhance the messages they tell through great storytelling and structure.
