The Agile coaching landscape is inherently challenging and unpredictable.
In this mini-workshop, we will explore the concepts of deliberate reflective practice and coaching supervision. By incorporating these practices, we can gain a deeper understanding of Agile coaching principles, pinpoint areas for self-improvement, and enhance the effectiveness of our coaching interventions with our teams.
*This will be a hands on workshop. Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil for in-depth journaling exercises.
There will be homework.
"[A] coach who is at the same developmental stage as their coachee will not be able to help them get to the next stage, and a coach at a lower stage of development than their coachee may actually impair progress.” ~ Otto Laske

Agile and Lean Leaders, Agile Denver
Location not specified yetAgile & Lean Leaders:
We are a peer community of senior technology leaders—spanning product, operations, agile coaching, and engineering leadership—who seek to learn, grow, and exchange ideas beyond our day-to-day environments. Our members are Directors to C-level, all leading technology and software teams in complex, fast-moving organizations who value people over things.
As Agile & Lean Leaders, we embrace both meanings of the term:- Leaders who apply Agile and Lean principles to guide teams and organizations through change with adaptability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
- Leaders who shape the future of Agile & Lean leadership itself—mentors, thought leaders, and contributors to the evolving body of knowledge.
Our purpose is to:
- Connect with other senior technology leaders who navigate similar strategic and executive challenges.
- Learn from diverse perspectives—drawing on Agile, Lean, and other leadership models to tackle the real-world problems we face.
- Advance leadership thinking by developing, sharing, and potentially publishing new insights and strategies.
- Support each other as mindful, intentional professionals, leading with knowledge, calm, and clarity in high-stakes environments.
- Explore Lean principles alongside Agile to drive efficiency, eliminate waste, and improve flow in technology-driven organizations.
By engaging with this group, we strengthen our ability to lead transformational change, influence at the executive level, and shape the future of Agile and Lean leadership in technology.
We meet in person on a monthly basis near the Cherry Creek area, skipping December. Members are asked to commit to attending a minimum of four events per year.

•OnlineKanban Community of Practice
OnlineWhat is a Community of Practice?
A Community of Practice develops over time, with committed members engaging in many “informal conversations” about a shared domain of interest. This creates a set of cases and stories that become a shared repertoire for their practice, whether they realize it or not. To learn a bit more about the concept of a “Community of Practice”, check out this link https://bit.ly/2YTyyZh.What is the Agile Denver Kanban CoP?
The Agile Denver Kanban CoP is a long-running meetup that started in June of 2011. We are a “Community of Practice”, where core members, who are practitioners, have regularly engaged with each other over several years.
Our meetups generally consist of us sharing our personal experiences and stories, learning from each other more about how to apply lean thinking, lean management (leadership), and agile principles, along with pull, flow, kanban, and system thinking concepts.
Our specific focus is on how to catalyze and manage change, improve business workflow processes, and predictably forecast and answer the question “When will it be done?” We are associated with the broader Agile Denver group, which has several other “special interest groups” (SIGs) associated with it, of which we are one. And we are also connected with the U.S. and global Lean Kanban community.Agile Denver Kanban CoP Meetup Events
Starting from 2024, we’ve updated our schedule to better accommodate our community. We host two different types of meetups: Public Meetups and Core Member Meetups.Public Meetups
These will now be held on the 3rd Thursday of the month on a quarterly basis. Public meetups are open to everyone and feature presentations on various topics where attendees can interact, engage, and ask questions:- January: Lean Coffee
- April: TBD
- July: TBD
- October: TBD
Core Member Meetups
- These will now be held every month on the 1st Thursday.
Core Member Meetups are smaller gatherings exclusively for a limited number of active core members, designed for deeper discussions and two-way interactions.
If you’re interested in becoming a core member to engage in these smaller interactions, we encourage you to demonstrate commitment through regular attendance at our public meetups and interaction with core members in between. For more information on becoming a core member, feel free to reach out on the #leankanban channel in Agile Denver Slack, and connect with the organizers or other core members.
