Leadership Range

How to Feel Competent and Experienced in Your Agile Coaching Practice

How are you viewing the role of agile coaching with individuals and with teams?

When do you make the time and focus on your leadership skills?

What if… you could focus your efforts on learning and then practice what you are learning, all within the same learning arc? 

What will it take to feel competent and experienced in your agile coaching practice?

We know from our experience as Agile coaches that the following exercises will help you gain confidence and competence

  • skill drills
  • peer coaching
  • team coaching
  • ongoing group work
  • professional one-on-one coaching
  • one-on-one supervision of actual Agile coaching sessions in your own work environment

Let’s get this straight: scaling a coaching business or working as a leader in a large corporation can feel lonely. We know, as we’ve been there ourselves. 

Connecting with and being surrounded with like-minded leaders can mean the difference between success and failure, confidence and doubt.

The TeamCatapult Cohort Program is an in-depth, 9-month program emphasizing rigorous practice accompanied with feedback opportunities in your own work environment.

Leaders and coaches gain competency in

  • Learning how to evaluate and assess where a team is at on their journey to high performance
  • Stepping in and helping teams have difficult conversations with grace and ease 
  • Understanding the capacity to grow teams and individuals

How to Attain Transformative, Empowered Leadership Skills

“Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life forever.”~  Amy Poehler

You can not become a leader all on your own. You need a tribe of people who you can go on this journey with. The Coaching Agility From Within Cohort offers this opportunity to leaders wherever they are!

In our program, the support from peers as well as cohort leaders is phenomenal. To attain transformative, empowered leadership skills, our cohort members experience the following as part of their cohort participation: 

1 Weekly Group Cohort Calls

Weekly calls can vary in format to include case studies, triad and dyad practice, and coaching. The program includes over twenty group cohort sessions

2 Residential Retreat

At the residential retreat, cohort participants take a deep dive into the practice of team coaching. Participants take all of the learning in each competency and practice integrating it into their work with teams. This retreat prepares participants to level up their work.

3 Capstone Agile Coaching Stance

The program will conclude with the development and articulation of an Agile coaching stance, including how participants work with teams and why they do what they do.

4 Individual Professional Coaching with a Certified Professional Coach

One of the best ways to learn coaching is to receive individual coaching. These calls provide space for personal growth by providing rich time for reflection and feedback.

5 Reading and Journaling

Developing the skills of an Agile coach requires attention to your own development first. Each month, participants complete assignments designed to expand one’s knowledge and self-awareness.

6 Small Group Calls

Periodically throughout the program, there will be small group calls focusing on skills practice or on group supervision. These calls are designed to deepen overall understanding and awareness.

7 Supervisions

The program includes one-on-one supervision with a cohort co-leader.  Each session assesses a video (or audio) that you provide, in a real-world situation and you get supervision and feedback.

At the end of the program, you will have 100 hours of coaching, team coaching, mentoring, facilitation and training practice! 

After the Cohort

Our cohort participants don’t stop learning after nine months. They continue their journey together. Past participants may choose to be part of our Cohort Community, where one can continue to share, learn and grow leadership range in the community setting

From a cohort participant:

“Being in the course is an amazing opportunity…even if you think you have enough knowledge or experience, you will find more!”

Are You Ready to Grow Your Leadership Range?

Cohort members come from all places in the world, from all walks of life and have a vast variety of work and life experiences. What unites our participants is the drive to grow, to learn and to become a better leader. 

We would love to talk to you and learn more about you. 

Schedule a 15-minute meeting to ask questions, get more details and meet with a Cohort Co-leader.  

Why Leadership is a Craft that Requires Investment and Growth

How are you doing? And how are you feeling about how you are doing? Are you not just adjusting to a “new normal” but thriving?  We sure hope you are.

We are now halfway through 2021 and the changes we saw happening in our work environment back in 2020 are still evolving: we are at a critical juncture in our organizations. 

A global pandemic has shifted much of our teamwork online, but this change has only compounded the challenges already facing organizations that rely on constant innovation. In order to survive in a rapidly changing environment, agility is table stakes.

A comprehensive cultural shift is needed for organizations to create sustainable change. The key to keeping up in a rapidly changing work environment and global marketplace is to scale leadership – and scale in new ways! 

Growing Leadership Competency is a Game Changer

Growing leadership competency is a cornerstone of creating organizational change

Increased performance outcomes are the direct result of the fact that the competencies of individual coaching, team coaching, mentoring, training, and facilitation help leaders build their range of leadership. 

At TeamCatapult, we call this “leadership range.” It refers to the ability of individuals to lead from the front and set a clear direction. It also refers to their ability to lead from behind, empowering others to make the move and understanding how to support ideas and create space for all voices to be heard.

Competency Development — How It Actually Works

Competency development means recognizing that becoming an agile team coach requires people to examine and challenge their existing beliefs so that they can experience new, more productive ones.

What we have found and implemented through the Coaching Agility from Within™ program is that there are specific competencies essential to effective leadership. 

Collectively, these competencies signal that a collective leadership culture begins with how individual leaders show up. It’s about how they engage with and impact their teams, and it’s about the self-awareness that it takes to know our impact and make choices that align with our intentions.

Awareness Precedes Choice, Precedes Change — The Road to Leadership

Anyone can call themselves an agile coach. What sets a truly agile leader apart, however, is someone who has a demonstrated proficiency in agile team coaching. After all, adaptive challenges do not come with roadmaps, they require new ways of engaging and leading through the process of dialogue. 

At TeamCatapult, we have adopted and refined The Agile Team Coaching Competency Model, originally created by Lyssa Adkins and Michael Spayd. This competency model is aligned with the ICAgile Agile Coaching Competencies and serves as a metric and guide for the learning journey that we provide as part of our longtime alignment with the mission of ICAgile. 

Leadership Competency Development is a Winding Road Best Navigated in a Cohort.

In every learning process, the journey from “getting started” to “proficiency” is neither quick nor straightforward. As our case study highlights, we have found that a program designed for an 8 to 12-month period is most successful. 

How to Increase Leadership Effectiveness and Team Performance

TeamCatupult’s Coaching Agility from Within™ program is a cohort-based leadership development initiative. Its design encompasses two models. The first is an 8-month program that brings leaders together from different organizations to deepen and expand their ability to lead effective teams. 

This program is designed to guide agile coaches along the pathway to proficiency in each leadership competency, providing key solutions for teams needing sustainable, systemic change. 

It offers insight into best practices for how to move leadership forward by:

  • Growing your own, internal leadership 
  • Growing leadership at all levels 
  • Developing a team coaching capability 
  • Turning theory into action 

Force Multipliers – a Case Study

We have seen the results of this program create significant, longterm change for participants and their teams. It supports their awareness of how they, as leaders, can best support a team’s ability to perform more effectively.
