Coaching Coaches
Coaching Coaches has grown!
For those of you who sense this…
Are you a coach who has a feeling that, somehow, agile coaching is more than getting teams to use practices and embrace their empowerment? Are you searching for your unique voice as a coach? Are you someone who wants to live from the inside out – from your values, into your actions, then, with impact, into the wider world of your teams and organization? Have your experiences with agile caused you to pause and say, “Whoa! This agile stuff is really different.”
…there are now more ways to help you get what you want.
The Agile Coaching Institute (Lyssa’s company with Michael K. Spayd) has three offerings:
-
- Coaching Circles
- Mentor Groups
- On-on-One Coaching
Visit Coaching and Mentoring on ACI’s website for more details, including dates for the next circles and groups.
Past coaching clients say…
The agile coaches circle has really been helpful to me. Working with Lyssa and other agile coaches has been an encouragement when going through difficult situations in coaching. Having a group of peers to work with has proved helpful in getting another perspective on the issues that are faced in adopting Agile in a large enterprise.
Lyssa does a great job of coaching the team so we can improve our coaching skills. She leads by example which is a very effective way to coach.

I joined one of Lyssa’s coaching circles earlier this year, and we’ve kept it going because the learnings have been so rich.
Agile coaching is hard, and often it is difficult to find peers with the same level of dedication to improvement in your own organisation. Lyssa’s circle has exposed me to a group of peers to share my learnings with and to learn from them. I think that a large amount of the growth I have experienced as a coach this year, has been sparked by this circle.
I am also constantly amazed by Lyssa’s expert facilitation skills, and the safe space she manages to create telephonically. Observing her in action, helps me understand the kind of behaviour I need to model as a coach. I highly recommend her coaching circles to anyone looking to grow as a coach and a person. Another great thing is that you can join from anywhere in the world. I am thrilled to have access to such an awesome coach, all the way down here in South Africa!- Karen Greaves, agile coach and coaching circle client
Lyssa ROCKED my world! I’m hard pressed to describe how useful and important my coaching work with her has been. Challenging, heartfelt, effective, an invitation to depth, to clarity and with companionship in the inquiry. I particularly appreciate her skill at being present and transparent about her own process while staying focused on being of service. In case it’s not completely obvious this is a HEARTY recommendation!

I have learned so much with all my interactions with Lyssa, from my first view of her youtube videos, through Agile Conference sessions and finally in our own little coaching circle. All I can say is I hope to continue learning from her for the duration! She is truly a harbinger of the radical.

I just completed a coaching circle with Lyssa and 5 others. We started in May and had six (I think!) hour and 1/2 telephone discussions regarding agile coaching. It was very helpful to me as a newbie SM and coach; there were rich insights, observations, and suggestions. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
