Why now
Why Agile Coaches get stuck without professional coaching competencies
Agile Coaches often work with complex human systems, yet they are expected to rely on facilitation, advice and frameworks. This is not enough when the real work is awareness, contracting, presence, ethics and growth.
Without a strong coaching arc, conversations can stay trapped in the problem instead of creating insight.
Multiple stakeholders, Agile leadership and team systems create ethical and contracting complexity.
ICF competencies are easy to understand intellectually, but difficult to embody under pressure.
To coach growth in others, you must keep developing your own presence, self-awareness and coaching maturity.
The TAC difference
What makes this Deep Dive different
This is not a passive review of the ICF competencies. It is an applied, mentor-supported coaching lab for Agilists working in real organizational systems.
Designed for Agile realities
The competencies are applied to Agile teams, leadership, stakeholder contracting, team sessions and organizational coaching situations.
Forward Focused Conversations
You learn to take clients out of the problem state and guide them toward resourcefulness, possibility, awareness and action.
Mentor-supported development
Group and individual mentoring help you identify competencies you already demonstrate and those you need to strengthen for your desired ICF credential.
Global cohort intelligence
You work with peers from different countries and contexts, deepening your coaching through diversity, observation and feedback.
Hands-on, not academic
The course uses exercises, live discussions, questions, hands-on tools and active learning methods including Teaching From the Back of the Room and Liberating Structures.
ACC and PCC bridge
The module can be used as part of the Level 1 or Level 2 education journey, helping you progress toward ACC or PCC depending on your path.
