Certified Agile Coaching “ICP-ACC” Training
Lean & Agile
4 Full Days
Course description
This class is targeted towards agile coaches who want to bring their coaching skills up to the next level. In this class you will:
- Understand how our behavior as coaches affects the safety, ownership, and respect that team members have towards each other, and how to act accordingly.
- Practice creating an environment and culture that helps a team mature into a truly self-organizing, high-performance team.
- Learn and practice guiding a team through conflict resolution.
- Learn and practice the different coaching stances (coach, mentor, teacher) and be able to choose the most appropriate stance for the problem at hand.
You will then put all these skills together, to assess the needs of a team, form an effective coaching plan, work with management for buy-in, kickoff coaching with the team, and learn to effectively use different what you’ve learned about stances, human dynamics, collaboration, and conflict resolution to become a more effective coach.
