In a nutshell

Do you aspire to become a truly Badass Agile Coach? A coach with a mission of professionalism, craft, passion, accountability, and expertise that you need to bring to bear in service of your clients? Then Extraordinary Badass Agile Coaching will be your trusted guide to meet (and exceed) that mission.

Overview

The profession of Agile Coaching is, in a word, confusing. That’s because of a number of factors, including:

It gets conflated with Professional Coaching and it’s so much more than that;
There isn’t a standard or generally accepted model for what it is and isn’t;
Clients don’t understand it, so shared accountability is unbalanced with their coaches;
There is specialized nuance around the skills of coaching at the Team, Enterprise or Organizational, Technical, and Leadership levels.

This confusion has created a space where nearly anyone can claim to be an Agile Coach with little experience and narrow skills. Resulting largely in mediocrity and negative impacts for our clients, who by the way, are counting on and paying us for help.

Bob Galen has written Extraordinarily Badass Agile Coaching to help alleviate the confusion. The book centers on the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel as the competency and skill maturity model to baseline your agile coaching skills against. Its core goal is to “raise the bar” as to what true excellence looks like and to help you establish a personal development and growth plan.

Bob intentionally uses the term Badass to create a vision of professionalism, craft, passion, accountability, and expertise that you need to bring to bear in service of your clients if you represent yourself as an “agile coach”.

Being an Extraordinarily Badass Agile Coach isn’t easy, quick, or for the faint of heart. It takes lots of hard work and dedication. It also requires a map to point you in the right direction. Consider this book that maps to coaching badassery, personal growth, and client service.

When you're working with leadership and teams in order to embed agile ways of working and set them on a path of continuous improvement, whilst they deliver products that give value to customers, experience matters. Not only your own, but the experience of a seasoned coaches, captured for reference. This is what this book gives you. Robert Galen and contributors to this book have captured their real life coaching experiences to help us put into context the coaching basics as well as the different coaching models. You can see my well thumbed copy of it. I reference it regularly for coaching conversations that I have. The areas for reflection within the book are also great for self assessing your own coaching and improving your practice. Well worth an investment !

First of all I would like to say "Thank you" Bob, Rhiannon, Jennifer, Mark and everyone else involved for sharing your experience with me and writing this excellent book. It is at the top of my bookshelf.

Secondly, I would like to recommend it to literally everyone on their Agile journey: Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Leaders... regardless if they are a beginner or a catalyst.

This book has triggered a deeper reflection of my Agile journey so far and increased my self-awareness. It is an excellent collection of practical coaching scenarios, tools, canvases.

It covers many aspects of the Extraordinarily Badass Agile Coaching including: mindset, meta-skills, The Agile Coaching Growth Wheel, Pair-Coaching, Situational awareness and many more.

It is also written in a really nice to read way.

Explains agile coaching well

Agile coaching can be hard to understand and takes years to master. It all starts with knowing what agile coaching is. This beeok gives you a great starting point and road map on how to get there. The book is an overview of the various skills you will need but does not dive into any specific area which is perfect as you are left with your own work to do to improve but a clear idea of what is needed.

Highly recommend this very well rounded, thought provoking and throughly researched masterpiece around the art and craft of being an Agile Coach. There’s literally no topic that I can think of that hasn’t been approached or discussed I particularly enjoyed the following components 1.The exploration and application of the Agile Growth Wheel to identify your areas of opportunity and lead you on the path of mastery 2. Role Based coaching and 3. Situational Awareness to consider surrounding SOGI, Neurodiversity, generational awareness and race, culture and ethnicity. No matter where you are at on your agile coach journey or who you coach (teams, scrum masters, product owners, snr leaders) this book is peppered with gold nuggets of feel good wisdom, practical tools & techniques and AHA moments. Thanks Bob!

Great read and really great biding ;-) Seriously, good roadmap for your coaching journey.

I greatly appreciated everything about this book. To me there were multiple areas of focus, be it explicit or implicit. Areas such as Mindset, Pragmatism, Humor, Emotional Intelligence, Coaching Frameworks and Situational Awareness just to mention some.

References to Alistair Cockburn, Michael Spayd & Lyssa Adkins and how their efforts can influnce/enhance your journey were perfect. Bob's humbleness of how their contributions can contribute to your development were on target.

Providing the example from Mark Summers and role based/context based coaching from Jennifer Fields were very helpful. In addition broaching the subject of SOGI and other areas of awareness from his daughter, Rhiannon greatly enhanced in connecting the content to reality as well as helped in reflection.

Ovreall I felt a theme of calmness, deep reflection, service and being humble. I will keep this one on the top of bookshelf for reference. Thank you Bob & Team.
