IN-PERSON September Event – Immersion: Professional Coaching Skills for Agilists

Note*: this is the In-Person Meetup for our September Monthly Meeting. If you are unable to attend or prefer to attend virtually, please see our other Meetup event. Given that space is limited, please RSVP to this event only if you plan to attend in person. Thank you!*

For September, we're going to be back together in person with a BANG! We're excited to bring our friend and mentor Lyssa Adkins to present Immersion: Professional Coaching Skills for Agilists.

From Lyssa, describing her session:

"It is broadly held that both mentoring skill and professional coaching skill are useful for scrum masters, agile coaches, and managers -- and more often, agilists of all roles. Yet the differences between these approaches is not crystal clear for most people. In addition, most people have never seen a professional-coaching-only approach to helping someone solve their Agile problem. It’s time to show that!

In this session, Lyssa Adkins coaches an audience member on their real-life agile problem. A real person, a real coaching session. We will debrief the specific skills you saw Lyssa use (or mess up and not use) and then you will take some of that "on the road" in a pair practice session. It's an opportunity for great learning, connection and joy in experimentation.

Along the way, you will:

• hear how professional coaching and mentoring address problems in radically different ways and become clearer on when to use each
• see a real-life demonstration of a coaching conversation using only professional coaching skills
• learn the anatomy of powerful coaching conversations and do a practice
• enjoy the warm connection, camaraderie, and joy of learning with fellow community members"

This is our in-person meetup for this month's event. We will also be connecting via Zoom in a virtual event for those who prefer to attend virtually. Please see our other Meetup event for September for the virtual event!
