Virtually Agile community re-launch featuring Bob Galen

An Agile Coaches Guide to Showing Your Value with Bob Galen

Some of the biggest questions facing agile coaches today, whether external consultants/contractors or internal employees; Coaches, Scrum Masters, or leaders, are—

· What do you do as a coach?
· What difference are you making? What is your value?
· How do I measure your impact?
· Why do I need you as my coach?
· Do I need your role in my organization?

Challenging questions to answer, right?

The premise of this talk is that most coaches are fundamentally unprepared to answer them. Many of us struggle to communicate our value, while not appearing self-centered or braggadocios.

This talk will explore how to navigate these value-based questions effectively. We’ll begin with the client entry process and discuss keys for setting up win-win coaching agreements and managing expectations. Next, we’ll explore a wide variety of approaches for measuring agile coaches, their value, and their impact. While there is no singular metric, you’ll be exposed to many successful approaches. And finally, we’ll talk about the importance of brand building and not being shy or reticent in talking about yourself, which is a problem for many coaches.

We’ll wrap things up with a Dojo session where we practice strategies
for everyday, value-based situations, so you can leave with new ideas and skills and increased confidence.
