Workshop Announcement: Coaching Beyond the Team (Esther Derby & Don Gray)

[Esther Derby]

Dear Practical Agilists,

I am very excited to tell you about a new workshop,

Coaching Beyond the Team

As a team lead, coach or ScrumMaster, you know that some of your team’s problems are not within in the team. But handing the team's manager an impediment list isn't always the best strategy.

Don Gray and I are offering this workshop for coaches, Scrum Masters and others whose work involves helping people and systems change. See the description below...and feel free to email or call Don at +1 336.414.4645 or me at est...@estherderby.com or  +1 612.239.1214 if you have any questions.

Please join us for this valuable workshop. 

Coaching Beyond the Team: Influencing the Organization

Learn how to coach beyond the team. Agile coaches and Scrum Masters face many challenges. They have no authority to insist people listen or do, yet managers and executives expect organization-wide results from their activities. Furthermore, many executives see clearly how teams should change, but don't see how the environment or their own actions impact teams. 

Learn how to discover the factors in the organization that are affecting your team's ability to adapt to change and deliver value. Practice techniques to help others see how the environment is supporting or impeding your team--so that your teams keep improving and don't fall back into "the way we've always done it." 

Through simulations and small group activities we'll explore common organizational patterns and dynamics. Through discussion and practice, you'll learn tools that will help you communicate the changes needed to unleash productivity.

When:     March 19-20, 2014

Where:    Atlanta, Georgia

What:      Two-days of interactive, experiential learning

Tuition:    $1295
