Agile Transformation Coaching School

ACI’s Unique Approach: Agile Transformation Coaching

Having laid the foundations in 2011, we are launching our advanced curriculum in 2012. The Agile Transformation Coaching (ATC) school is geared to agile coaches who want to become truly effective agents of transformation. The program will include work in professional coaching, systems coaching, systems-oriented leadership, organizational change, and other advanced topics.

The Intermediate program includes the flagship Coaching Agile Teams class, plus the brand new CAT Integration tele-workshop. See a description of the Intermediate Program for more details.

In the advanced program, our approach is to bring you the highest quality training from transformational disciplines that support agile coaching, delivered in pair teaching format. The pair consists of a master agile coach (one of our core staff) plus a professional trainer from the relevant discipline being taught (e.g., professional coaching).

The Coaching Stance: Upshifting Your Agile Coaching is the gateway to all our advanced offerings. It was developed with a long-term professional coach trainer, Cynthia Loy Darst. The Coaching Stance (TCS) grounds you deeply in professional coaching skills and is especially useful taught in the agile context, using agile coaching scenarios.  The course creates the foundational mindset and inner development for subsequent transformation work.

The next offering is called TCS Integration. This 9-session tele-workshop is designed to give you lots of practice professional coaching skills, including receiving feedback, plus work on integrating the coaching stance into your agile coaching practice.

Coming in November 2012, we will be offering a course in systems-oriented leadership, developed in collaboration with the founders of CRRGlobal, who developed the Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching program. A prerequisite for this course is either The Coaching Stance, or the new Coaching Agile Teams Integration tele-workshop. More classes are being envisioned in the areas of organization change, culture, and leadership.

Review the Advanced Program, starting with The Coaching Stance.
