Certified Agile Team Coach (ICP-ACC) Training

Gain professional coaching skills needed to create a safe environment for meaningful collaboration and healthy conflict resolution within an agile team. Public training classes in London, Lisbon and New York or as a private workshop at your preferred location.

“Wonderful, amazing. Really gave me some awesome tools/techniques and shifted my whole mindset. 5 stars!” – Cait Pelly – Scrum Master

Agile and Lean works when there is a deep respect and consideration for people. However, often the behaviours we experience and sometimes exhibit at work are not in alignment with our own goals and the goals of the organisation. This is what makes achieving agility so hard.

Professional coaching helps individuals and teams increase transparency of their own internal and external blockers that stop them from being successful in achieving their goals.

During this 3-day highly interactive ICAgile-Certified coaching course you will learn specific professional coaching skills required to help others who are moving towards agile ways of working. You will also gain the understanding and skills required to create a safe environment for meaningful collaboration and healthy conflict resolution within an agile team and be exposed to team dynamics and the role the wider organisation system plays.

If you have a group of 10 or more people it may be more cost-effective to run this course for you as a private session. Speak to the AWA team for more details.
