Coaching Circle?

Agile Consulting and Coaching circle is about sharing experiences and learning from from other coaches and consultants. You can expect lots of fun and open discussions about lessons learned, failures - and some successes.

You will

  • practice coaching and reflection. You learn from others' real cases and get thinking power for your own cases.
  • process your container; let the steam out, release emotional load and make sense of personal experiences
  • practice coaching and reflection skills
  • learn theory and co-create knowledge about relevant themes
  • understand bigger status and trends from the collective experience
  • learn to arrange coaching circles...

For whom?

Anyone who does Agile/Lean coaching. Internal and external coaches, consultants, leaders, change agents and so on.

Everyone gains and everyone contributes. This works when you have some previous experience in agile consulting and coaching, and you are willing to share your experiences openly.

How it works?

  • The Coaching Circle is an open group. You may join and leave the process.
  • meetings about once in a month
  • time 17:30 -20:00, usually Mondays

A fixed structure for the meeting:

  1. Opening
  2. Coaching exercise and reflection about 45 min
  3. Break
  4. Introducing a theme and facilitaing a learning process around it
    • The proposer facilitates, the facilitator proposes. Meaning that the proposer takes the responsibility to facilitate a productive learning process. The theme may be anything between the great unknown and a proven tool, whatever got enough votes.
  5. Agreeing the next meetings. Refining the theme backlog and agreeing next meetings/actions.
  6. Reflecting this meeting. Things will evolve.

Sessions

First session June 22th 17-20
Second session August 1st 17:30 - 20:00

    Okay, there are 8 people now in the list, with three (if possible) mentions. Is it possible to still sign up, or how do we handle this?

      I've updated the page about accepting more - checking the venue for a bigger room(s).

    Esko Pylsy, Antti Tarvainen and Katja Zorina have cancelled so the rest of us should fit in to the space I've reserved.
