During your first mentoring session, we will discuss the required self-learning log, review expectations and agree on what outcomes you desire from gaining the certification.
You can then attend a combination of community events, peer events, workshops, conferences, and mentoring sessions while working individually to complete the validation log (a brief record of your learnings). We will provide the template log (small file) for you.
Once the self-learning log is complete and checked by a peer, we will spend some time with you, reflecting on the difference the program has made to you. We will do this by reflecting on the updated agile coaching growth wheel and the agreed outcomes.
You MUST attend at least FOUR mentoring sessions and ONE 1-to-1 coaching session to validate your competency against the program learning objectives.
