ICAgile Certified Expert in Agile Coaching (ICE-AC)

The Agile Team Coach Cohort Program is a transformational journey, which grows agile coaches from the inside out. It’s designed to help you thrive as an agile coach, deepen your agile coaching mastery, and unleash your agile coaching potential. You will discover your own coaching and leadership style, resulting in exponential growth as a coach and as a human being.

This is the program for you, if you are passionate about coaching teams and dream of being recognised for your agile coaching mastery. Over 8 experiential, intensive months, you will work with and be supported by an incredible cohort community of agile coaching colleagues and your expert program leads.

Our unique “supportive” cohort environment provides an enhanced learning experience as well as the opportunity to meet likeminded colleagues with whom you will connect on a deep level. Together we will sharpen your agile coaching expertise and get you ready to sit before the ICAgile Expert Agile Coaching accreditation panel.

The Agile Team Coach Cohort program provides you the opportunity (and confidence) to not just learn but experiment too. We give you quests to try with your teams, knowing that you have the full support of the cohort by your side. Over time (and with your commitment) you will sharpen your expertise and mastery in five different competencies:

You will become proficient in:

• Professional Coaching – Skilfully establish trust with your clients and zero in on their agenda resulting in outcomes that resonate and provides a clear way to forward their goals.
• Facilitation – Masterfully create bespoke agile practices that not only embody the agile values and mindset but are contextual to your teams’ needs. Confidently hold space for your teams to co-create, decide and move forward in meetings that engage and inspire everyone.
• Mentoring – Confidently surface conflict and other complex situations and expertly help your teams navigate them. Masterfully differentiate between different teams’ maturity, discern what their needs are and confidently provide them with options that will help solve their challenges.
• Training – Expertly relay new concepts and techniques in engaging ways that enables deeper understanding with learning that sticks. Refined confidence in knowing when a team needs your leadership rather than holding space for them to make their own decisions.
• Navigating the roles – Skilfully and smoothly choose between the different roles depending on your clients’ needs ensuing effective results with your teams.
