About Ferzeen
I’m passionate about continuous learning and development, understanding that humans are uniquely capable for growth and change. My most impactful lesson in my career has been that, for any change to stick we must start with the "who", even before the why, what and how. By putting the person first, and centring on values and identity, I am able to foster growth mindsets and continuous improvement habits in complex environments.
I’m an agile coach, scrum master, globally accredited trainer, transformation consultant, public speaker and life coach. I work with individuals, teams and leaders, at all levels of organisations and in a wide variety of industries, to boost their ability to perform in complexity. I coach individuals to experience professional and personal development in any aspect of their lives. I consider myself a translator first, mediating understanding between customers, business and technology with ease. I am a mirror second, allowing people to reflect on, explore and leverage their own untapped potential.
I love what I do, and my mission is to help others love what they do.
As a lifelong learner, I facilitate training in various agile methodologies and am confident in being able to bring agility to any team. I focus on practical ways of taking lessons from the classroom into the workplace, and on the benefits of continuously improving ourselves.
My values: Curiosity, Humour, Spontaneity, Reliability & Love

Fez and Aurelien are pros!
Fez and Aurelien are knowledgeable, engaging instructors who really know their stuff. The workshop is relevant and practical and Fez and Aurelien make it easy to relate the content back to your day-to-day.

Vibrant and fun
Ferzeen (Fez) refrained from didactic methods of teaching and instead facilitated conversations between participants which led to a more interesting and high-energy two days. Together with Aurelien's technical experience, they delivered a memorable PSMII course. Highly recommend.

Learning the Art of conducting a PST course as a Prospective PST
I participated in the course as a prospective trainer to observe and learn from Ferzeen as she conducted the PSM course. This experience enabled me to learn what a PST needs to do when teaching a PSM course.
Ferzeen provided me the opportunity to observe, participate as a student and also share my Scrum experiences with the wider group.
I experienced how to connect to the students, ensure the various concepts are clear and also enable the students to effectively learn Scrum Master fundamentals and best practices.
Ferzeen's generosity towards allowing me to particpate and her guidance during the breaks allowed me to gain invaluable experiences.
Additionally I had an immersive learning experience with other students.
I am very grateful of the opportunity and look forward to further collaboration with Ferzeen on future courses.
I would highly recommend her courses as she uses real world experiences to supplement the theory of Scrum in her course.

Great, practical 2 days lesson with valuable insights from the trainer
Great, practical 2 days lesson with valuable insight from Ferzeen, our trainer for the course. Not only was she able to clearly articulate the theoretical concepts of the scrum framework, she was also able to share her real life experience, insights and "pro tips" on the practical application and usages of scrum, which in my opinion was the most valuable part of the course.

Professional Scrum Master I Course
I recently participated in a two-day Professional Scrum Master I course with ALC training and found it to be hugely useful.
I had the physical workbook couriered out the same week I enrolled. It was also really nice touch to have some highlighters and note stickers included in the package.
The staff we extremely helpful when I had a query. In this case I was in a different time zone and couldn't start at the start time as it was before work hours for my timezone and had limitations in accessing a conference room. They communicated this to the trainer ahead of the start of the course and it all went smoothly.
I found the trainer to be knowledgable in the subject matter and very open to taking questions as we went along.
Overall I had a great experience and would happily use ALC training in the future for any similar courses.

Fez made scrum and the role of the scrum master very real to me. The course was done well in a virtual environment with all members actively participating. Activities and scenarios were on point.

Great experience in PSM1 training
The training conducted by Ferzeen for PSM1 was valuable, insightful and gave me confidence to take on the PSM1 assessment, and my engagements as a Scrum Master in my career. She was very knowledgeable and showed her extensive experience in managing various situations related to SCRUM, and yet friendly and approachable. The live online course was conducted perfectly, with the right equipment (audio and video) and technologies used and good control of the lesson.

PSM - Great course, great instructor! Informative, educational and enjoyable
PSM - Having had some experience of Scrum prior to this course I was eager to learn more. Luckily Fez is an expert in Scrum and enjoyably taught the class everything required for the PSM exam. Course exercises were useful in getting you to think and reinforcing what Fez had told us, and the course notes were detailed enough. Highly recommend this course, and even better if you get Fez as the instructor!
