The industry holds that both mentoring skill and professional coaching skill are useful for scrum masters, agile coaches, and managers. Yet the differences between these approaches is not crystal clear for most people. It’s time to show more than tell.
In this session, Lyssa Adkins coaches an audience member and mentors another audience member on their real-life agile problems. Real people, real mentoring and coaching sessions.
You will witness conversations that usually happen only behind closed doors.
Along the way, you will:
- learn the anatomy of powerful coaching conversations and mentoring conversations
- see how these skill sets address problems in radically different ways
- become clearer on when to use which
- enjoy the warm connection, camaraderie, and joy of learning with the fellow community members of Agile York

About the Author: lyssaadkins
I believe that Agile is a brilliant, emergent response to help us thrive in our ever-increasingly complex, changeable and interconnected world. My current focus is coaching Leadership Teams to take up the Agile transformation that is theirs to do -- on both a personal and group level. For many years I have been a passionate contributor to the discipline and profession of Agile Coaching and have trained many thousands of agilists in the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to coach teams and organizations to get full benefits of Agile. In 2010, I authored Coaching Agile Teams which has sold 75,000+ and been translated into 10 languages.
