I'm an agile and leadership coach with Elabor8.
I started out as a developer, then moved through working with teams as a Scrum Master to working at all levels of organisations as an agile coach. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly of agile transformations (quite a lot of the latter) and I've got the scars to show for it!
If you like to check speakers' 'bona-fides' before you decide whether to see them, I'm a certified team coach with the Scrum Alliance, I'm one of the millions who are certified in SAFe, the thousands who are certified in LeSS and the two who are certified in Disciplined Agile (just me and Scott Ambler I think :)). I also have undergraduate and postgraduate coaching qualifications and I'm a certified coach with the International Coach Federation. Oh, and I got a badge for putting up tents when I was a cub scout. :)

Are Agile coaches crossing the line? A panel discussion about Coaching & Counselling.

Sold Out!45 Mins
Panel
Intermediate
Agile coaches are mostly not qualified in counselling and therapy.
Knowingly, mistakenly or ignorantly, some coaches divert their coaching instances to personal conversations as if they were therapists. Counselling is a skill which requires practice, experience and certification.
It also has regulatory boundaries. While coaching and counselling are different, there is an overlap. Several coaching approaches had their roots in therapy: e.g. Solutions Focus Coaching came from Brief Therapy, Non-Violent Communication from Marshall Rosenberg (via Carl Rogers).
As coaches, it is imperative to have self-awareness that we do not cross the line in explore in unchartered territories of counselling. Join this panel to learn more about counselling and coaching.

Accessing Relationship Systems Intelligence with Constellations
Jon GedgeAgile CoachElabor8Jasmine HesselSystems CoachThe Leaders Mentorschedule 2 years ago
Sold Out!45 Mins
Workshop
Intermediate
Each of us is a member of complex relationship systems - at work, at home and in our communities. Just as emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our own emotions and social intelligence is the ability to empathise and communicate with another individual, relationship systems intelligence is the ability to view a team or group as a unified whole and to work directly with that whole system rather than with a group of individuals.
In this session, we will use a relationship systems coaching technique called constellations to listen to the ‘voice of the system’ which is created by everyone who attends the session, so we can explore together how comfortable we are in working with conflict.

Mastering ScrumMastery
90 Mins
Workshop
Beginner
Scrum master? Iteration manager? Surely being a master or a manager implies telling people what to do or how to do it… doesn’t it?
This workshop is aimed at any scrum master or iteration manager who sometimes wonders what they should do for the good for their team(s).
We will consider what a scrum master’s responsibilities are – and equally importantly, what they are not.
We will look at the key skills a scrum master needs, and when and how those skills should be used.
Then we will apply what we have learned to consider how workshop participants could approach real-life problems they are facing right now.

It's not agile coaching if you don't coach!
90 Mins
Workshop
Beginner
Why do we talk about agile coaches rather than agile mentors or agile teachers?
In this workshop we will explore what coaching is, why I believe it is an essential skill if you want to help people develop an agile mindset, and how coaching can enable people to change their thinking patterns and behaviour.
Participants will then practice the core coaching skills of active listening and powerful questioning in genuine coaching conversations with each other, before reflecting on how they can apply these skills in their own lives.
