Why now
Why Agile practitioners need professional coaching depth
Many Agile professionals are expected to coach, yet most were trained to facilitate, teach, advise or fix. Professional coaching requires a different level of presence, ethics, contracting and awareness creation.
Teams and leaders need conversations that create awareness, ownership and learning — not just better process guidance.
Without professional coaching competencies, coaching conversations often become problem-solving discussions.
ICF credentialing gives structure and credibility to your coaching identity.
To coach others through growth, you must also grow your own self-awareness, presence and ethical practice.
The TAC difference
What makes this ICF Level 1 different
This is not a generic coaching school pasted onto Agile. It is professional coach training designed for people who work with Agile teams, leaders and organizations.
Built for Agilists
The program connects ICF coaching competencies directly to the reality of Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, leaders and consultants.
Forward Focused Conversations Arc
A proprietary coaching structure designed by Natascha Speets to balance flexibility with a clear path toward awareness, learning and action.
Professional coaching identity
You learn to show up less as an Agile problem-solver and more as a professional coach who evokes insight and growth.
Practice and mentoring built in
Group mentoring, peer practice, observed sessions and individual mentoring help you develop real coaching capability.
Multiple coaching lenses
The approach integrates solution-focused coaching, systemic coaching, GROW, non-violent communication and appreciative inquiry.
Immediate application
You start coaching early and apply the competencies in real Agile and professional contexts throughout the program.
