What will you learn?
The course is split into four core modules over two intensive days:
Coaching - Learn the basics of professional coaching from ICF-certified coaches. Competencies you will start to build: Active Listening, Powerful Questions, Emotional Intelligence, Presence and Clean Feedback.
Facilitate Learning - Using Training from the BACK of the Room! We will explore adult learning techniques, culminating in creating a new learning experience you will use. During this module, you will also learn a good mentor's core skills and how they differ from coaching and consulting.
Serving the Team - Using several Agile Coaching tools adapted from various team coaching practices from experts in the field. We will explore the drivers for high performance, how to launch a team, navigate change, and, most importantly, manage an engagement.
Integration - The last module brings the learnings from the different competencies together and teaches you how to move between stances and what tools to use at which point of your agile coaching journey.
