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. <br
