Helping People Do What They Want to Do

Damon Poole
Agile Coach and Coach Trainer

Gillian Lee
Director of Delivery Coaching
Wouldn’t it be great if people would take your advice as given? Unfortunately… people do what they want to do. We will show you how to embrace this behavior with techniques derived from Professional Coaching. You can use these techniques to uncover the Agile expertise you have that they will want to put into practice. We will form pairs and triads to practice these techniques in real life situations.
Learning Objectives
- Explore an approach to sharing expertise that preserves people’s choice and thus accountability
- Discover the three levels of choice
- Walk away with the ability to shift between sharing expertise and coaching with intention.
Format: Presentation, Breakout rooms, Q&A
