3 R's

The 3-R’s of Agile Coaching

The 3-R’s of Agile Coaching

I was reflecting on the craft of agile coaching the other day. As I often do, I was thinking of areas that are important in my coaching competency or my focus.

Sometimes, when I’m reflecting like this, I get way too much information to consider. But this time, something simple and clear came out of my reflection and I thought I’d share it with you. It’s a metaphor I’ll refer to at the 3-R’s of Agile Coaching and my focus on them has been increasing the quality of my coaching. Let’s explore each ‘R’ in turn.

Relationship

I’m continuing to discover that relationship is the center of everything in my coaching. And when I say relationship in this sense, I mean—

  • Relationship with myself;

  • Relationship with my individual clients;

  • Relationship with my client system(s).

I most actively see it nowadays in the intentionality I have in entering spaces and the meta-skills I bring into play. But I also am more intentional in creating, fostering, and building my ongoing relationships with my clients. This ‘R’ reminder me that the key is being more intentional in how I’m “showing up”.
