Telstra's Agile Coach Academy
WHY come along?
Recently there has been quite a bit of discussion in the practitioner community about what an Agile Coach Academy is and what it means for independent coaches.
In this presentation I will take the audience through the process from idea to establishment of Telstra's Agile Coach Academy. My role as the Academy Lead was to take 50 internal staff members of varying backgrounds and have them move through a developmental journey taking 20 weeks before they were deployed as beginner coaches.
Concurrently I was hiring senior experienced coaches to support and act as mentors; which was an critical part of the approach. I'll explain what we did, who was involved and how competency was progressively built throughout their journey.
You’ll hear from my heart not just my head
It was a transformational experience for all of us and I want to tell the community the story.
You’ll hear about my journey and the journey of the trainee coaches; what we all learned about agile coaching and ourselves from this experience together.
Come with your questions about agile coaching- I’ll have time to answer them

LAST is a conference designed to be a platform for cross-discipline collaboration and the development of professional skills and knowledge. The conference is rooted in the lean and agile movements, but has a broader remit than just those domains. The theme of the conference centers around helping people level up in their professional capabilities. We are looking for talks or workshops that inspire attendees to try something to advance the Canberra Lean, Agile and Systems Thinking community and finish the day proud to be part of the community.
We encompass software and product development, user and customer experience, leadership and management, organisational design and strategy, project management and process improvement, innovation and creativity.
By coming together and sharing our knowledge and experiences with each other, we all learn to be better at work and can continue to grow and help others. You can draw from a variety of fields and experiences to contribute content.
People that come to LAST come from all walks of life and contribute together to grow the capabilities of the Canberra community. Together we make all of us better.

Don’t forget, you can edit your session and adjust the idea prior to the event, so don’t think that you’ve only got one chance.
As we are focused on the local community, we don’t expect people to travel from interstate or overseas to participate, although you are welcome if you choose to come. LAST is an event with low registration prices, we need to keep overheads low. Therefore, we generally do not reimburse travel and accommodation or pay a fee to session leaders/speakers.
We are not only looking for talks/presentations, but you could also run a workshop, play a game or do a lightning talk.
