About Halim Dunsky

As a seasoned leader with decades of IT and business experience, I bring a unique blend of adult development expertise and a rich understanding of business and software agility. My company, Full Presence Coaching, brings heart, wisdom, and vision to the challenges of this complex and chaotic world. I support organizations in unlocking leadership agility and end-to-end flow at all levels to build responsiveness, creativity, and performance and liberate the collaborative power and resonance of the organization. For individuals: personal coaching can serve you to reach your highest and deepest goals, to move into powerful, life-affirming action. What really matters to you? My career has spanned more than 40 years in commercial software, consulting, corporate IT, education, and community organizations. I have held a wide variety of leadership and technical positions in large global corporations, small organizations, and startups. I have started a consultancy and a small non-profit and co-founded a graduate school in Green Business. I served as Steward of the Agile Coaching Institute, a global adult learning organization known for transformative education, teaching professional coaching and facilitation to coaches and stakeholders of Agile teams. I spearheaded integration of the Institute into an acquiring consulting firm, enhancing one of the most effective Agile Coaching programs available. I was a faculty member in the program and guided the business of the Institute. For over 11 years at premier Agile consultancy SolutionsIQ, I focused on the world of software and business agility, and for the last several years of my tenure served on the SIQ leadership team. I shaped large Agile adoption and organizational change programs, coached teams, and used Scrum, Kanban, and Lean for process improvement with clients and internally. I was primary author of the first SIQ Agile Transformation Solution. Prior roles included positions at companies such as Microsoft, Deloitte and Touche, and Bank of America. At Bainbridge Graduate Institute, I was Operations Director and taught systems thinking to MBA students. I was an invited speaker for the 2014 Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference and have been a webinar presenter in Agile methods and a conference presenter at Agile2010, Agile Open Northwest (multiple years), and Growth Edge Network Gathering 2021. I hold an M.A. in Organizational Systems from Saybrook University and am an internationally certified professional coach (CPCC, ACC) and certified Global Leadership Profile Coach.
