We just posted another Agile Austin event on our Meetup page, "Agile Coaching: Choice is a Ninja." You can sign up at the link below! https://lnkd.in/gNF6SQPW Topic description: **Choice is a Ninja** In the role of *Agile Coach*, we provide two distinctly different services: Agile expertise and Professional Coaching, aka “pure” coaching. One of the hardest things about pure coaching is leaving all choices to the coachee. That’s because many of those choices are silent and hidden like a Ninja. In this session, we’ll shine a light into some of the Ninja’s hiding places and consider techniques for uncovering them. Here are some of the things that can hide choices: * Our ability to see more than those we coach due to our Agile experience * Our general-purpose problem solving skills * Our desire to help by providing Agile expertise * Our desire to dig deeper and explore wider * Paraphrasing * An unintended shift into project management habits when coaching is expected * Responding before the coachee has finished thinking * The tendency of coachees to present topics as choices for us * Coachees disguising choices as non-choices * Coachees hiding a question for themselves in a question for you You will practice real 1-1 coaching with the help of a “cheat sheet” of the hiding places and how to uncover them. By becoming more aware of this silent killer of choice, you’ll provide more autonomy to those you coach and help them choose solutions they are more motivated to put into action. **Meet your speaker!!** Damon Poole has been an Agilist for 19 years. He’s an Enterprise Agile Coach and the co-author of Professional Coaching for Agilists (Addison-Wesley). In addition he offers ICAgile and ICF accredited coach training programs.
