In this month’s edition of #agileactually  , Simon Reindl and Martin Hinshelwood explore the latest trend in #agile  for a life coach to present themselves as an #agilecoach  to organizations.

In most cases, an #agilecoach  or #agilecosultant  will have years of experience as an #agilepractitioner  , actively working in an #agileteam  , followed by certification and practise as an #agilecoach  leading multiple #agileteams  in multiple applications.

That’s why it’s controversial that someone with very little #professionalcoaching  skills and #agile  knowledge would present themselves to organizations as an #agilecoach  .

Good? Bad? Or just plain ugly?

Find out in this month’s Agile Actually Podcast.
