From training gaps, to misdirected growth goals, to mislabeling the job of coaching itself, Come to this tough-love workshop, where you will learn what the latest research says about effective agile coaching, and why we make it so much harder than it needs to be.

Untapped Agility - 7 leadership moves to transform your transformation
45 Mins
Workshop/Game
Intermediate
Agile transformations are supposed to make organizations modern, competitive, and relevant. But in the well-intentioned effort to move into the future, change leaders find themselves frustrated by pushback, limited impact, poor practices, and unfair criticism. What is going on?
In this special hands-on workshop, we will cut through the conventional approaches to building agile organizations, and instead explore a recurring pattern that disrupts what holds organizations back:
- The BOOST is the initial gains from logical first steps for change
- The BARRIER is the unavoidable roadblock that must come next
- The ReBOUND is the way forward to further gains by leaning against the concept of the original boost. These counter-intuitive rebounds can unblock stalled agile transformations.
No, your transformation is not a failure. It turns out the buy-in, the talent, the alignment, and the growth you need to break through are already in front of you; it’s all simply hidden under the surface. Undiscovered. Unutiliized. Untapped.

Cop-out or Capability? A coaching game for exploring advanced agility
45 Mins
Workshop
Intermediate
Is your agile stagnant? Are your teams "stable", but uninspired? Have the fancy new frameworks left you wanting more? Then this session is for you.
When we started our agile journey, experts offered several warnings and checklists for bad practices. From seven agile sins to Scrum-butts, we all know what we must absolutely avoid. But what if the most common anti-patterns are a fertile ground for exploring high performance? What if the sporadic standup is a sign of deep democracy? What if your erratic velocity reflects a self-driven team that jumps on opportunities?
In this hands-on workshop, participants will confront their deepest held agile convictions, and discover which practices have been holding us back this whole time.

It turns out, the problem is you and me.
In this hard-hitting talk, leadership coach Jesse Fewell reveals well-intentioned leaders at all levels fall victim to several common anti-patterns. From being spread too thin, to banging your head against constraints, to forgetting about your own internal growth, these issues will sound painfully familiar. Instead of introducing a transformation methodology, the key insights will center around looking in the mirror.
Come join this provocative conversation, where you will hear recommendations that pull no punches for team leads, managers, department heads, and executives alike to become the leaders that drive true excellence.
