Adventures with Agile is delighted to present – The Expert In Agile Coaching – ICE-AC – a transformative cohort program to dramatically deepen agile coaching mastery.

Do you feel trapped by imposter syndrome? Long for the ability to deal with conflict effectively? Or wish you had the support of experienced agile coaches to guide you along the way as you experiment with new techniques and approaches with your teams?

If you said yes to any of these questions or want to take your agile coaching to the next level, this could be the program for you!

You are invited to apply for this rigorous eight-month program designed to help you thrive as an agile coach and become masters of your craft. You will discover your own coaching personality and style, resulting in exponential growth as a coach and as a human being. Apply online today if you are ready to dramatically deepen your agile coaching mastery.

The AWA Expert in Agile Coaching Cohort Program takes you on a transformational journey, growing you from the inside out. Experience exponential growth as both a coach and as a human. You’ll go from having feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt to having renewed confidence in who you are, in your strengths, your edges and your growth areas. Where you once struggled to establish trust, you will know how to skilfully and smoothly build confidence in you as coach and as leader. Where you were unable to effectively surface conflict, you will expertly leverage complex situations to unlock hidden potential within your teams.

By completing this AWA program, you will develop your capacity to really listen to others resulting in more engaged teams, leaders and stakeholders. You will no longer have to “convince” or sell to others. Where you were once afraid to be yourself in your practice, we will support you to stay in your stance and help hone who you are so that you don’t just become a better coach but a better person too.

If you are passionate about coaching teams and dream of being recognised as an expert agile coach, then this is the program for you. Over eight experiential, intensive months, you will work with an incredible community of equally advanced agile coaching peers and your expert program leaders to sharpen your agile coaching competencies and get you ready to sit before the ICAgile Expert Agile Coaching accreditation panel.

The Expert in Agile Coaching program is all about trying, testing, failing and learning. You won’t become an expert by sitting on a bench and only reading the theory. You need to get out there and do it! This program gives you that opportunity to not just learn but experiment too. We will give you quests to go out there and 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.

After working as a Software Developer for 11 years, Rafa Ribeiro realised that despite the knowledge he had about machines and computers, he lacked skills to empower and support other people. With the challenge of creating his own company, he felt the need to start a learning journey into the realms of Psychology, Expressive Arts and Professional Coaching.

As a result of this mixture, Rafa currently works as an Agile Coach and Professional Coach with organisations, teams, and individuals, helping them discover and becoming aware of their goals, reflecting their behaviours and supporting their growth. He has a range of deep experience working with co-located, distributed and full remote teams, as a Scrum Master, Agile Coach or Enterprise Agile Coach.

She is known to say, “It’s not if you will fall down, but when you do fall down; then How YOU Recovery?!”  Therefore, we love who we are, what we do and do what we love!

Louria has lived every role in an agile organization from software engineer to organizational agility enterprise coaching and strategy. In her own company, SuccessAgility, she has worked with hundreds of organizations and Agilists where they have elevated not only their skill set and are now the leaders that others want to be and foster collaboration and sustainable change and growth.
