Day 86 / 100 · Teams & coaching · The coaching stance

Ask more than you tell.

Lyssa Adkins' work on coaching Agile teams describes several stances. Good coaches switch between them deliberately.

Share Knowledge

Explain a practice the team hasn't met yet.

Share Experience

“Here's what I've seen work, and what didn't.”

Hold The Process

Guide the conversation, not its outcome.

Ask, Don't Tell

“What options do you see? What would you try?”

Know which hat. Ask more than you tell.
