On the 7th of Feb 2023 I joined the 9th cohort of the Agile Coaching Lab (ACL). The ACL is “An intensive 8-weeks program for agile coaches, scrum masters and leaders who want to level up and lead”, run out of New Zealand by Jakub Jurkiewicz.
During the pre-course homework we read chapters from ‘Steal Like an Artist’ and ’The Art of Possibility, wrote a personal user manual, and a letter from our future selves – which I’m sure will be topics of future blog posts.
Session 1 was fantastic. My fellow students are a diverse bunch with varied backgrounds, experiences, and personalities which makes for lively and interesting group work and discussions. Jakub introduced the Check In and Check out from the Core Protocols, ran through an Emotional Culture Deck session, and finished up with collaboratively designing a team working agreement. These activities really set the tone for the class and for what’s to come.
I will keep this post short but state my intention to post a blog each week either reflecting on that weeks class or wondering about, exploring, and sharing a technique we discovered.
