Foundation + Leadership + HR + Coach

Agile People Coach - Training Combinations

About

In the future of work, HR, leaders and Managers will need to take an Agile People Coaches' and Leaders role, with the necessary competence about basic human needs, behaviors, teamwork, and how to support an emerging strategy towards the organization's purpose.

An Agile People Leader or Agile People Coach works inside an organization or as a consultant and wants to spread the principles and values to every corner of the company. You want to bounce ideas and get inspired by a community of like-minded people who have the same goal: increasing business agility and helping organizations on their learning journey/transformation by supporting HR and leaders to attain an agile mindset.

• The Agile People Coach or Leader is an alternative career for traditional managers and HR professionals. An Agile People Coach is more than an Agile Coach, although the basic understanding of agile values, agile tools and methods, systems theory, and organizations are the same. The difference lies in the deeper People's perspective.
• During this training, you will leave with experience having gained both knowledge and practical skills to bring forward new ways of working, learn how to create lasting change, coach people to find a place to be the best and create conditions for people to perform together.
• This training includes combination of Business Agility Foundations, Agility in HR, Leading with Agility and Agile People Coach.
  

This training is accredited by International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile), and can lead to certifications Business Agility Foundations (ICP-BAF), Agility in HR ((ICP-AHR) and Leading with Agility (ICP-LEA), with Agile People and ICAgile.

All courses can be taken individually, however for the greatest benefit we recommend this or any other combination of courses that we offer. For Agile People Coach(AGP) you need to have completed 2-3 ICAgile courses to qualify for the AGP course. Please get in touch for more details, @ [email protected]

During the Agile People Coach training, we cover 3 perspectives:

Individual Perspective (YOU)

Knowing yourself and why you do what you do: The Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP) shows your basic needs and motives and contributes to a better understanding of yourself and your leadership.

Developing yourself and understanding biases, mind traps, and how to avoid judging
Communicating effectively using storytelling and visualization are powerful tools.

Coaching others find their perfect place in the organization taking their personality, interests, and passions into account

Team perspective (WE IN OUR TEAM)

How to increase the pace from immature to mature high-performing teams, using skills for communication, leading, coaching, and conflict resolution

How to grow and develop teams to be independent and empowered to make their own decisions, for example, about their contribution to the organization's goals or their salaries

Organizational perspective (ALL OF US)

How to balance an agile culture with an agile structure, providing enough support for emerging strategies where all people are involved in setting the direction (via OKRs or other kinds of relative targets)

How to work to change behaviors – accomplishing an agile mindset and culture through removing limiting structures like annual budgets linked to fixed performance targets and individual bonuses

Create conditions for a Learning organization where it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, which requires a platform of Psychological Safety

Training Program - Agile People Coach

The program is made up of 15 to 20 online 2-3 hours sessions. If you miss a session, you can take it back in the next course round.

Session C1-5 Deep dive into Agile People Coaching

Session C1: Agile Coaching and the Four Roles of a Coach

Mentoring, teaching, facilitating, and coaching are the stances of an Agile Coach – they need to master all of them to be successful and pick the right stance depending on the organization, situation, and the people. But what is the difference between an Agile Coach and an Agile People Coach?

Session C2: The Agile People Coach – a new Role for HR and Managers

In this session, we examine the nine roles of the Agile People Coach and a self-assessment – how skilled are you in the different roles and where do you need to improve. What are the skills that you need to add as a regular Agile Coach, Leader, or HR person if you want to increase your agile & people skills and to be able to call yourself an Agile People Coach? We look at scenarios for practicing when to take what role.

Session C3: Professional Coaching.

To understand the Agile Coach and the Agile People Coach's roles, you need to also have some knowledge in Professional Coaching and know how to formulate and ask suitable questions to guide and lead a person to understand what needs to be done in any situation.

Session C4: My Motivation Profile as a base for Self-leadership

Who you are and what makes you do what you do is very personal and different from others' why. Communicating with people who are different from yourself and knowing how to understand what makes other people do what they do and how they are different/similar to you is crucial competence in agile environments. We develop My washing instructions and discuss how your needs affect your life and work.

Session C5: Conflict Coaching

Exploring conflict theory and finding the right balance between harmony and healthy conflict in a team or organization is key when moving towards high-performing teams. In this session, you learn different models for dealing with conflict, understanding conflict escalation and different types of conflicts, and handling conflict in a team.
