Hi Paul – jumping on to echo what others have said – really depends on what your end goal is, I wanted something evidence-based and for ICF accreditation – to align against ethical principles and future proofing as I see this industry moving into more regulation sooner or later. If you’re supplementing advisory/mentoring role, you may only be after a general skills based course – although it depends on who you are! Happy to discuss further (full disclosure, I am par…

I came to the conclusion a few years ago that the biggest imepediment to earning money was me being prepared to ask for a bigger number. Its very easy to play safe, especially when you need the work. And I did just have a client say No because I was too expensive which either indicates I’ve found the top of the market or I didn’t execute my ask well enough (probably a bit of both.)
I’ve worked with partners and agencies (occasional contract type work I’ve done) were th…

Hi Jules,
I tend to find that rates vary dependent on the consultancy I’m working with. I do a lot of delivery for one in particular and I’m being paid a third of what the client is invoiced, and in my experience that’s pretty standard. If I were to introduce a new client to them I’d consider negotiating two thirds for any work I delivered. This was also the business model we used for our associates in my previous role, which was a permanent position in a leadership de…

Yes indeed, we live in an exploding universe of agile inspiration! Cluttered with an army of agile software development evangelists with a confusing array of competing methodologies, digital transformation case studies typically of larger corporations in service businesses like banks and retail giants, big consultancy houses with agility practices pushing out research, books and magazine articles and classical coaching, consulting, and training firms hitching their wagon to the agile train! We…

To me, adaptability is about having the wisdom or confidence to know when it’s OK to change direction when something blocks your path.
-
Indeed, rather then ”road-mapping” I like to talk about ”path-finding” … finding a pathway through, around, over or under, no matter what.

I think being agile and adaptable means being open to surprises and change. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and for someone like me, who schedules and plots out everything, that can be hard. That’s why adaptability is such an important skill to have!
-
Indeed, expecting and managing the unexpected. The only unsurprising thing about the future is that it will be full of surprises!

Just did another virtual workshop for a room for of CEOs of SMEs/mid-market companies yesterday explaining why I like to say “Agile is the new LEAN” as the solution to the problem of accelerating VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), explaining how VUCA drives chaos and why many businesses are a disorganized stampede! All businesses do LEAN to some degree (formally, semi-formally or informally which we call continuous improvement of efficiency, effectiveness R…

Thanks for tagging me, Ella.
I think it depends what kind of coaching you’d like to do, Paul. I wanted to do Health Coaching, so I did my certification through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Hope that helps.
