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.
