About This Class

Facilitating, teaching, mentoring, advising, leading, coaching — a good agile coach moves between all six constantly, and knowing which one the moment calls for is the actual skill. This course names each stance, shows you when to reach for it, and gives you the practice to shift between them on purpose instead of by instinct.

You'll earn the Scrum Alliance Becoming an Agile Coach microcredential — a shareable digital badge — plus a two-year Scrum Alliance membership and 4 SEUs/PDUs toward your renewals.

Outcomes

What You'll Walk Away With

✓

Name your stance — tell facilitating, teaching, mentoring, advising, leading, and coaching apart in the moment.

✓

Facilitate real decisions — run conversations that stay neutral and lead to outcomes a group actually owns.

✓

Lead change with purpose — use storytelling and consistent example to build a culture of continuous learning.

✓

Shift with intention — move between all six stances on purpose, not by instinct.

Curriculum

What You'll Learn

The six stances of an agile coach

Facilitating — run conversations that lead to real, shared decisions while staying neutral and trusted.

Teaching — tell formal instruction apart from the informal, in-the-moment kind.

Mentoring — build a mentoring plan that fits both the person and the organization.

Advising — share relevant experience without dictating the outcome.

Leading — give change a purpose people can rally around.

Coaching — adopt a genuine coaching mindset and see how coaching a team differs from an individual.

Closing case study

✓

A coaching challenge, worked end to end — apply all six stances to a coach navigating a fresh challenge in an unfamiliar environment.

Ideal For

Who Should Attend

This course is for anyone who wants more than one gear — you need moments where facilitating isn't enough and telling people what to do isn't either.
