Coaching Beyond the Team: A Workshop for Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, and Leaders at All Levels
Esther Derby
As an Agile Coach, a ScrumMaster, Consultant, or Leader in your organization, your job includes helping people work more effectively. Sometimes that means directly helping individuals and teams. But often, your work involves solving problems—and engaging other people to solve problems— people beyond your immediate teams. You generally have no authority to insist those people listen or do, yet managers and executives expect organization-wide results from your activities.
Many executives see clearly how teams should change, but don’t see how the environment or their own actions impact teams. Handing those executives an impediment list isn’t a winning strategy.
This year we expanded the workshop to three days adding new content to help coaches, consultants, leaders and others expand their influence. Through activities, exercises, and small group work, you will learn methods, models and tools including:
- observation / inquiry
- visualizing your span of influence
- how problems ripple through the organization
- how factors influence results and where to find intervention points
- visualize organization dynamics
- designing experiments
- and more …
You’ll have a chance to practice them right away, working on issues that are relevant to you in your context.
Join us and expand the scope and value of your coaching.
