There are many ways to look at the Agile Coach Competency Framework and many opportunities to learn. In Understanding ACI’s Agile Coach Competency Framework (Part 1), I outlined my summary of the framework, it’s competencies and the coaching stance. Part 2 looks at what you can learn from the framework and ideas about how to use the ideas to learn and grow as a coach and a leader.

Cursing Your Vision Statement
I was coaching someone a while back and asked them to tell me what their vision statement: what motivated him? When I heard the answer, I was not moved. What I heard was boring. I knew this person had passion for what he did. What happened to it?
If I ask you to tell me why you do what you do, and you are not jumping up and down a bit, getting a bit fired up, I don’t buy your passion! Here are some ideas to find the passion in your vision statement. They may not be for everyone, but I know they have helped some people already, so I wanted to share.
Improving Yourself with StrengthsFinder 2.0
I am often asked by folks I’m coaching for ideas of assessments they can take to help them grow.
I’m working on a few articles about different types of assessments and improving yourself (subscribe if you are interested in being notified). I thought I’d take some time to explain some of insights I got from taking the StrengthsFinder® 2.0 assessment a while back, as well as explain what it is and how to take it. This is the first of three articles on assessments. The other two will cover MBTI® and The Leadership Circle Profile® . All three are very different in a number of ways, which I will discuss in those articles.
Agile and Agility are about people, learning, and collaborating – a foundational part being able to collaborating and learning with others is personal mastery.
