Effective yet Effortless Coaching Talk at Agile Mississauga

I presented the “Effective yet Effortless Coaching” session at Agile Mississauga Meetup event which took place on April 5th, 2017. I presented The Simple Coaching Model V2.0. This was the first time presenting the V2.0 of The Simple Coaching Model. The changes made, compared to the V1.0 of the model, were based on the feedback received in previous sessions (i.e. Coach Retreat and Shopify); and it’s mainly affected the “What’s Next” phase.

It’s About Them!

I really enjoyed presenting for the engaging audience. I also am very happy that the session received the NPR score of 82% (or 90% if you count 8s and higher as 1s and less as 0s); many thanks to those who provided feedback.

I am glad that I have presented Effective yet Effortless Coaching once more based on v2.0 of The Simple Coaching Model. It helped me meet new people, understand their perspectives and challenges with the coaching they had. I am really glad that a handful of experienced Agile Coaches were present at the session. Their feedbacks were very valuable for me, re-affirming the thought process I went through to come up with The Simple Coaching Model, and how to even expand it. The real challenge is how to make it Simple.

Socializing before session starts

I used 90 minutes with them to get the audience through different phases of The Simple Coaching Model through an interactive practice.

The followings are the description, objectives, and outcomes of the talk.

Effective yet Effortless Coaching

• What is coaching about? 
• How can coaching help me in my professional life?
• How effortlessly can I learn coaching skills?
• How can I get more effective at coaching?
• How can coaching help my leadership style?

Are those questions familiar to you? If so, please join me for the “Effective Yet Effortless Coaching” session. In this session, I will show you how effortlessly you can start to coach a person, and how by practicing simple techniques you can become a more effective coach.

Great Leadership entails many skill sets, one of them coaching. One cannot become a great leader without having coaching skills in his/her toolkit.

In this session, you will learn a simple yet effective coaching model which you can integrate with your leadership style. You’ll get introduced to a coaching style that you can easily learn, inherit, make it your own and build upon that. A style that you can utilize it for short elevator ride conversations to hours long sessions.
