Episode 5 - The Coaching Conversation with Lyssa Adkins

In this episode of The Coaching Conversation, I explored with Lyssa the why behind recording Coaching Agile Teams, why now as well as the  creative process involved and what she discovered in the process.

As  we explore the creative process, a metaphor emerged and we went places  and explored a variety of topics like the importance of slowing down and  locating ourselves in the midst of what’s happening, processing grief  with community and in solitude. Give it a listen!!

Here are some things to think about (Takeaways): 

💡 It starts with clear mission (Lyssa’s mission is to help emerge the profession of Agile Coaching)

💡 “Slow down so that you can notice what’s trying to happen vs. what you want to happen or perhaps you’re already trying to force to happen”

💡 Make space for grief

💡 Prepare then let go 

💡 Know your strengths and also know when to dial them down when needed

💡 There’s always a creative response

💡 Always work on yourself

💡 Inspect and adapt

💡 Humans are resilient
