Badass Agile Coaching Skills Masterclass, 2026-2

Reimagining Agile Coaching

Existing coach training and certification programs focus on team coaching, professional coaching, mentoring, and facilitation competencies. While these certainly have value, we believe the over-focus on them has led to an insufficiently balanced skill set and enabled Agile Coaches.

Given that, in this Masterclass, we will have—

• More focus on Self-Mastery dynamics and their impact on your overall coaching effectiveness.
• More focus on Organizational (Leadership & System) Coaching skill development.
• More focus on higher-impact & value Agile Coaching stances—Advising, Transforming, Leading / Modeling, Serving Product.
• More focus on effective communication (Storytelling, crucial conversations, radical candor) is needed.
• More focus on the importance and impact of grounding your Agile Coaching on Ethics.
• More focus on how to demonstrate, communicate, and confirm the Value you’re creating as an Agile Coach—or how to gain Skin-in-the-Game.
• More conversational practice—both within each class and within your learning teams.

To our knowledge, no Agile Coaching programs have this pragmatic, advising-based, and value-driven focus.
