Facilitate Learning - Using Training from the BACK of the Room! We will explore adult learning techniques, culminating in creating a new learning experience you will use. During this module, you will also learn a good mentor's core skills and how they differ from coaching and consulting.

Serving the Team - Using several Agile Coaching tools adapted from various team coaching practices from experts in the field. We will explore the drivers for high performance, how to launch a team, navigate change, and, most importantly, manage an engagement.

You will be required to install the latest ZOOM desktop/laptop software (avoid the web or mobile versions) and be able to access the Internet.

To avoid Zoom fatigue, we shall also be having 10-minute breaks roughly every hour and a break for Lunch.

What have people said who have been on the course?

I attended the online version of the ICAgile Agile Coaching course through Agile Affinity and found it well structured and no less than a face-to-face experience. I loved how the latest online tools were used for our benefit. The course content was great and was presented well by knowledgeable trainers. Thank you. It was a great learning experience, and I would love to see some more online courses like these introduced. - Parija Thakur, Agile Coach at Cancer Research UK.
