Already during the training you are of added value for the organization where you work. This is because you carry out assignments between each block in your own practice and by keeping a logbook you have the option of entering a concrete case during training days. For this you receive coaching from the trainers, so that your own organization immediately benefits from your training.

We work with different coaching styles and we look at which coaching style is closest to you and fits in with the desired Agile transition. Your professional development as a journey is plotted both within the framework of the program and beyond. Subsequently, the Agile context, dynamics, interactions to coach on ownership and self-organization are examined systematically. You identify your own talents and tools are provided to shape further development. We also specifically discuss different coaching skills, models and interventions, overcurrent (conscious, behaviour) and undercurrent (unconscious, mindset). Work on your Emotional Agility.

A good change agent can fulfill multiple roles such as a change coach or a facilitator. This goes much further than knowing the Agile tools and techniques. To really coach a team from an Agile mindset, you need to know how you can bring acceleration and energy into a team. Team dynamics, learning, self-organizing teams, a learning and improvement culture where successes and "failures" are shared. Coach contract managers in the process of organizing Agile and transition.

The training is completed with a product in the form of a presentation, a working product that you can use in your organization. It covers all the elements that you have learned in recent months.

Feedback participants

“ The most interesting learning path were the team dynamics of our learning team, the interventions of the trainer; there was safety to be vulnerable and open and to learn together."

"For me one of the most important lessons is that I keep on going with facilitating on the questions of the cliënt, so to keep listening on different levels and not to judge or start talking and to give advise. So I learned to be silent and to wait for the client to become aware of his/her own (potential) solutions." 

"The trainer, as an experienced teamcoach learned us to discover the essence of our own development by personal attention and questions, by appreciative and professional feedback (again and again from wondering questions)." The trainer/coach taught us the essence of coaching by focusing on our own developments with personal attention, and giving feedback by lots of practice - 

I experienced the guidance/support of the trainer as very pleasant, personal and committed. She is very involved, attentive to the learning needs of the group and easily relates them to theory and tools. she listens sincerely ... in one word: amazing! 

"I experienced Astrid Anna as a sensitive teamcoach/trainer who stimulates self organizing teams and professionals in responsiblility for people's personal and professional development and results in performance to client/customer
