Many organisations are becoming Agile and this requires a different kind of leadership. To be able to coach, rather than direct, is crucial for all leaders on an Agile journey. In this workshop we will focus on learning by doing and reflect together on why and when coaching skills can help.
Do you want to have more impact in your workday? Do you want to bring out the best in the people around you? Then this course is for you!
A dojo gives you a place and some techniques to practice. In this coaching dojo we will meet to learn and practice on some characteristics of coaching.
This course will focus on practicing several coaching techniques like active listening, powerful questions and nonviolent communication. You will get to try out all the techniques in triads with one coachee, one coach and one observer. You will get to test all the roles.
