Certified Agile Coaching Training

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 agile 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. Join us on a public course or book a private session to be held at your business, anywhere in the world. 

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.

• What an agile coach is and how this role plays out with your teams.
• An introduction to neuroscience and why it’s important as coaches we understand how the brain reacts when we’re stressed.
