Agile Knowledge:
As a result of this program you will be...
Whether you work in an organization or as an independent, you will become the person that others seek out when the situation becomes difficult or complex. As a result, you’ll naturally see exponential growth in your reputation.
This in-depth 9 month program is rigorous, placing an emphasis on practice and feedback opportunities through skill drills, peer coaching, team coaching, ongoing group work, professional one-on-one coaching and one-on-one supervision of actual Agile coaching sessions. You will have ample opportunity to learn from your peers and bring real-world scenarios to the group for feedback and guidance.
Developing the skills of an Agile coach requires attention to your own development first. Each month participants will complete reading and journaling assignments designed to expand your knowledge and self-awareness and help you prepare for the group calls and your individual coaching calls.
Two certifications:
A professional and supportive network.
You will have a life-long network of people to support you along your journey.
Personalized feedback.
You will receive feedback from your peers and co-leaders to apply your skills in an adaptive way. Then, you’ll get feedback from your clients in your real world environment to understand the impact you have. We do not rely on role plays or made-up cases to help you grow.
Develop your Agile coaching practice through experience.
This program, by its nature, will propel your practice forward quickly; forcing you to practice the whole arch from contracting to coaching and completing an engagement.
1:1 Coaching and 1:1 Supervision.
Unlike basic certification programs, we believe that an important way to learn coaching is by receiving coaching. You’ll deepen your skills and awareness because the skills and presence will be modeled for you throughout.
24 Hours of Individual Coaching and Mentoring. Participants must complete at least 24 hours of individual coaching and mentoring. Ideally, this will come from at least 2 individuals (may be peers/colleagues, may not be other certification participants) that the participant identifies and establishes an explicit coaching relationship.
24 Hours of Team Coaching and Mentoring. You must also complete at least 24 hours of coaching and mentoring with a team.

The biggest opportunity for today’s leaders is…to create engaging and collaborative environments that access the collective intelligence of their teams and also accomplish the desired results. I often find leaders who are really good at one or the other but struggle with creating both. Those that can cultivate range in their leadership have a real opportunity to achieve even greater performance.
