WHAT IS
COACHING?
A coach helps people
make the best use of
their own resources.
This (usually) happens
through a structured
conversation.
Agile coaches have a
specific role and skill set.
COACH = TEACH
Teach:
I show you what I know
Coach:
I show you what you know
WHAT DOES A
COACH DO?
And resists (like crazy)
the temptation
to tell people what to do!Ask
Reflect
Listen
