Agile Coaching Lab Reflections - Week 5

 Week 5 already.

Another busy week and I'm currently working on my assignments before I go Annual Leave.

I created a facilitation canvas, which was excellent timing. I have been preparing to do a team lift-off and the canvas helped me gather my thoughts in one place and allowed me to share it with my fellow cohort, Andy.

I also got to design an interesting retrospective. I'm planning on using this when after I return from Annual Leave :)

Reading is always in abundant in this program. This week 

• Signal That You Have No Authority - https://newtechusa.net/signal-that-you-have-no-authority/
• Positioning Is Signaling - https://newtechusa.net/positioning-is-signaling/
• Use Your Body When Facilitating - https://newtechusa.net/use-your-body-when-facilitating/
• Invite Facilitation - https://newtechusa.net/invite-facilitation/

It was an interesting read by I really prefer to see this in real life. See it in action so to speak.

In our weekly session, we learned about dysfunctional personas and how we are all guilty of exhibiting these behaviours (Agile Coach or not). 

We learnt about blaming the behaviour and not the person. There is (more often than not), reason(s) behind that dysfunctional behaviour.
