The Coaching Stance, June 7-8 2016
Lyssa Adkins and David Darst enthusiastically invite you to deepen your knowledge as a professional coach. In this course you will be steeped in the skills and mind sets of professional coaching while being firmly grounded in our Agile context. Everything is 100% applicable to your real world situation. You will learn and practice, practice, practice throughout the course. You will walk away from this course with your “personal coaching improvement backlogs.”
Who this course is for
This course is meant for ScrumMasters, agile coaches, project
managers in transition to agile and managers of agile teams
Learning outcomes for this course
Just like with the Coaching Agile Teams course, by the end of this course you’ll walk away with your personal coaching improvement backlog – a tangible plan you can use to thoughtfully improve your coaching when you’re back in your daily circumstances. We use agile scenarios throughout the class allowing you to craft powerful ways to address the real world challenges you face. You’ll also have many new things to try and you will probably depart with a few provocative ideas to chew on (in fact, maybe wrangle with for a while). All of this adds up to your ability to become the excellent agile coach your teams and organizations need.

A profound shift in who I am as an agile coach. The coaching stance is indispensable knowledge for any agile coach.
– Aaron SuedmeyerThis was the most powerful learning experience, giving me the tools I need to achieve my goal of transforming my work.
– Ted YoungI got great tools for handling complaints and resistance and it was a great opportunity to practice real coaching in a safe but frank space.
– Dennis Britton.Very useful and relevant for transformation of our Scrum teams.
– Robert HuLeaving the class, I am prepared, equipped and ready to actually coach using co-active coaching — to move into practice without training wheels.
– Margaret MotamedThe Coaching Stance made a profound impact on my power to make the difference in many realms. With what I got from this, as a leader, I will be able to create spaces for agile approaches to work in corporations where the agile approach is currently being resisted by the corporate anti-bodies.
