Who is an Agile Coach? Why is ICF coaching an indispensable aspect of Agile Leaders? How can one go from being a Good Agile Coach to a Great Agile Coach? Ginu Samuel, an Agile Coach who is currently pursuing his ICF Coach Training & Certification, demystifies these important, relevant queries for the benefit of Agile Enthusiasts and Scrum Masters as he recounts the experiences and learnings from his ICF coaching journey. Let’s hear from him! Will I be a good coach? During my initial years on the Agile coaching journey, I invested a lot in reading. “Coaching Agile Teams” by Lisa Adkins was one of many books I read then. ‘Will I be a good coach?’, the title of the very first chapter, hooked my attention. I have been constantly curious about what makes a good Agile coach ever since. Adkins also asks pertinent questions such as ‘What is an Agile coach’s role in self-organized teams?’, ‘How do I, as an Agile coach, help my team and yet stay hands-off? ICF-approved professional coaching provided me with satisfactory answers to all these questions. What does Agile Coaching Involve? In the context of agile teams, coaching takes on the dual flavor of coaching and mentoring. Yes, you are coaching to help someone reach their next goal in their life. In addition, you are also sharing your agile experiences and ideas as you mentor them or guide them to implement agility. Coaching and mentoring have been entwined to develop talented agilists who can enhance their performances and thus maximize business results. The 4 stances of Agile Coaching Lisa Adkins, together with Michael Spayd, introduces a simple agile coaching framework all Agile coaches can follow. In the framework, they talk about four different stances an agile coach should use. Teaching, Mentoring, Facilitating, and Professional Coaching. Agile coaching is a combination of coaching, mentoring, teaching, and facilitating. Many agile coaches have experience and knowledge of working in the area where they’re helping teams/individuals. As a result, there is a high chance of using the mentoring and teaching stances more when people are stuck. Agile coaches who lack ICF coaching skills tend to give more importance to other stances. This is a huge disadvantage, for professional coaching is the most important of all the four stances. ICF-approved professional coaching – the most important stance Transformation involves a change in mindset, culture, process, structure, or ways of working. It is very common that people can get stuck on this journey towards excellence. Professional coaching is an excellent tool to help Agile enthusiasts to unlock blockers and transition towards a new world of agility. An agile coach with ICF-approved professional coaching expertise can partner with individuals, teams, and organizations in this transformation journey. ICF Coaching – setting apart the Great from the Good The word “Coach” in the title “Agile Coach” comes from the professional coaching stance. All great Agile coaches have professional coaching in their toolbox. Through ICF coaching, Agile coaches master key coaching competencies such as active listening, asking powerful questions, and creating self-awareness. Agile coaches who have sharpened these coaching skills progress from being good Agile coaches to great ones. ICF coaching certification strengthens agile coaches in the other three stances. An Agile coach can teach, train, and facilitate more effectively using ICF coaching techniques such as asking powerful questions and making people think. These are the reasons why I feel professional coaching is a powerful skill in the Agile coach’s toolbox. In fact, professional coaching is a necessary competency for an agile coach. My ICF coaching journey with Regal Unlimited Last year I decided to sharpen my coaching skills and transform myself into a great coach. I enrolled for the ICF-ACC coaching certification with my coaching mentor Subash CV, Master Certified Coach, and founder of Regal Unlimited. The first year was a tremendous journey of unlearning old behaviors and learning new skills. We had rigorous coaching practice sessions, illuminating mentoring sessions, and other interesting, insightful activities such as book reviews. All these propelled me toward my goal of becoming a great Agile coach. Subash CV and the coaching community at Regal Unlimited have been strong pillars of support in this transformation. ICF coaching certification has helped me improve my listening skills, self-awareness, and coaching competencies. I would highly recommend Agile coaches and Scrum Masters to take up the ICF coaching course and accelerate their journey from being Good to Great.

Life is not a linear journey, where everything is rosy & predictable. It has its own way of surprising us with the unexpected in both good & bad ways. Vasudha (name changed for confidentiality reasons) was elated to see the two lines on the pregnancy test kit. She has been waiting to experience this for the last 6 years. But the happiness was short-lived. She was recently promoted & was due to take a transfer to a new city. She felt torn between embracing motherhood full-heartedly v/s loyalty to her professional aspirations. Rani (Name changed) was stuck in a loveless marriage. Overnight her life as she knew it changed when her husband died due to a sudden heart attack. She had never stood for herself before. She felt lost when friends & family bombarded her with advice. She couldn’t bring herself to give her life in the hands of others to decide once again. Rajeev (name changed) received a bad mid-year review at work. His personal life wasn’t going great either. He often found himself helplessly stuck in heated arguments with his spouse or with work peers. His manager pointed out he is aggressive & his spouse complained he is insensitive. He feels grossly misunderstood & wants to find a way to better understand what’s going wrong & make his life better. Tarun (name changed) was looking forward to his next phase of life with his wife & 2 children, in their new home. Just when everything seemed to be settling, he started noticing his wife behaving a little odd. She was overtly pollyannaish & would just not stop talking. She suddenly became overprotective of her children & would not like his involvement in their everyday activities. He needed help and started researching who to reach out to & talk about his gut feeling. You see, every new situation in life demands a different version of us. When an individual becomes aware of the idea that “something in them needs to change/grow/outgrow” – Life Coaching comes as a tool to unlock their true potential. What is Life Coaching & How does it work?   Life coaching meaning – The activity of helping clients decide what they want in their lives and how to achieve it. (Link to – https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/life-coaching ) It is based on the core premise that the individual has all the answers to their problems. But they are often not aware of this and are too busy looking outside trying to live up to external benchmarks, seeking external validation, and waiting for someone else to solve their problems. A life coach however believes people learn with a lot more ease & grace when they’re not told what to do. So, they partner with the individuals to enhance their awareness about themselves, the situation, the environment, the possibilities & what’s coming in the way to live their dream life. A life coach creates a safe space which is free of any kind of judgment & the first thing an individual will experience in that environment is the freedom to be themselves. This helps greatly to focus on the crux of the matter that needs addressing than the facades built over to create a distraction. How Life Coaching Can Help You?    When an individual becomes aware of what he is Actually experiencing & not simply what he permits himself to experience after a thorough screening through a conceptual filter, he becomes beautifully, constructively, and realistically clear. This gift of free & undistorted awareness helps an individual to make decisions from a place of clarity, that’s free from external influences & congruent with their core inner self. Vasudha – went on to have her long-awaited baby, quitting her career aspirations. After a decade, she found herself frustrated with her life & guilty of not being able to be the loving mother she always wanted to be. She chose to work with a life coach and in one of the sessions, she became aware of the fact that deep down she’s been holding her baby responsible for quitting the job. Though the decision was hers, it didn’t sit well internally & kept haunting her, keeping her from loving her child & life for what it is.  The life coach helped her curiously explore what she truly wanted to be given the reality of Now & what permissions she needed to give herself to live a life of her choice.  She reinvented herself in a career of her choice. She took ownership of the decisions she made for herself. She chose to give herself permission to work & also seek help from her family to support her in this decision.  Rani got tired of listening to the unsolicited advice coming from all corners. She wanted to restart her life on her terms but her family & friends started projecting their own fears to her situation & warned her of imminent failure if she didn’t abide by what they suggested. She reached out to a life coach and got clarity on what she truly wanted, the resources needed to make it happen. She successfully relocated to her dream city, took her kids along with her, upskilled herself while working part-time & is every bit living life on her successful terms, much to the surprise of her family & friends.  Rajeev soon realized he is going in circles venting the frustration of work at home and of home at work, as he started working with a life coach. He realized he was sitting with a lot of ”not being good enough”, which came up as self-criticism himself. His coping strategies were perceived as aggression & insensitiveness by others. He went on to practice self-love & self-compassion & is now a senior leader in the same firm that rated him poorly, leading a blissful family life. What Do Life Coaches Do?   A life coach is not solving problems, not advising, not mentoring or counselling – but holding space for clarity to emerge by facilitating awareness without any distortions. With clarity, the individual then goes on to decide what they want to do, which is aligned with their inner as well as the outer reality. A life coach then partners with the individual to find resources to make change happen in a sustainable way all the while holding the individuals accountable for their committed actions, with consistent empathetic check-ins of the progress made, until the individuals become self-sufficient w.r.t to their goals. Benefits of Life Coaching    While the exact benefit you will experience will depend on the specific goals you are working on with the life coach, here are some broad life coaching benefits you stand to experience as a client:  Gaining clarity Becoming more resourceful Learning to stand by your innate values Unlearning the limiting beliefs Experiencing fewer inner conflicts Living a congruent & fulfilling life What to Look For in a Life Coach?   Life Coaching is a highly unregulated space where anybody who wants to call themselves a life coach can go ahead & do so. Buyers Be-Aware. But the good news is there is a lot more awareness about the coaching profession compared to the last decade. Prospective clients are looking for coaches who have recognised, respected & widely adopted credentials to their professional bio. Similarly more & more coaches are taking the professional credential path, for they know – it’s a highly emerging career path & a well-recognised credential will add credibility to their professional offerings. One such credentialing body which is both well-recognised & globally accepted as the gold standard for the Coaching industry is the ICF (International Coach Federation). Getting a life coaching certification from ICF undoubtedly makes the ICF Coach more confident & capable in their coaching skills due to its rigorous training curriculum & credentialing process. It also instantly earns the life coach global recognition & credibility.    When Tarun – reached out to an ICF Credentialed life coach, who then agreed to speak to his wife, sensed this was coming from some past trauma, which was not ethically in the scope of a Coaching intervention, The life Coach directed Tarun to reach out to a psychiatric expert. With timely intervention & guidance, they are now leading a happy normal life. An ICF Credentialed coach embodies the code of ethics based on the core values  – Integrity, Excellence, Collaboration & Respect & shows up ethically in every professional coaching relationship. In Tarun’s case, there was no failsafe or recourse if someone in the life coach’s position had acted unethically or breached the client’s trust. Who Should Consider Working With a Life Coach?   Many people seek life coaches to navigate significant life changes, as seen in the above case studies. However, life coaches could also be proactively engaged to build a happier, more meaningful & empowered life. Remember making yourself a priority is not selfish & you don’t have to do it all alone.  Also while some life coaches take a general, all-encompassing approach, there are also many that specialize & focus on helping people with specific areas of life like – career, finances, health & wellness, life skills, crossroads, leadership, sports, spirituality etc… So if any of this resonates with you & you are curious to interact & engage with an ICF credentialed Life coach for a specific goal of yours – Click here to tap into the Regal Coaches Community If you are thinking of taking up the ICF Coach certification journey to become an ICF credentialed life coach – click here to know about the upcoming batches.

Google is one of the most successful companies today and renowned for being an analytical data-driven organisation. And in 2008, the biggest problem the group was facing with management was the company’s engineers.  Engineers, in particular, are creative individuals who have their own distinctive way of doing things. When someone tries to micromanage this type of worker, it results in conflicts and a loss of interest. That’s when Google embarked on a rigorous research, naming it Project Oxygen, to discover if they needed any management layers in the organisation. And, when they found they did, what qualities and behaviors made a great manager?  What stood out in the research was that while managers must have the essential technical knowledge to guide employees, soft skills such as coaching and communication play an absolutely crucial role. They concluded that a great employee does not necessarily make a great manager. As a result, Google developed new management training programs centered around team coaching skills and began focusing on how much time they spend coaching their team compared to the amount of output they achieve.  Today, as Google ranks No. 1 for the 6th consecutive year in Fortune’s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For”, don’t you think it’s your cue to try a brand-new approach to developing your managers? What is Team C oaching? Let’s start by establishing the groundwork of a team! Katzenbach and Smith, in their book “The Wisdom of Teams”, described teams as: ‘ A small number of people with complementary skills, who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and approach, for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.’ Team Coaching essentially builds better organizations by using the combined knowledge of team members to create a shared narrative. The team coaching experience can unlock a team’s potential and enhance collective brilliance. However, it is likely to yield benefits only when carried out on employees who belong to a real team.  The ICF defines team coaching as “Partnering in a co-creative and reflective process with a team and its dynamics and relationships in a way that inspires them to maximize their abilities and potential in order to reach their common purpose and shared goals.” When you work with brilliant people, it’s easy to see how their skills and abilities contribute to your organization’s success. But by stepping back to see the big picture, you can connect with your teams on a deeper level, creating a powerful motivation for your organization’s growth and development. The top 3 reasons why you need team coaching to foster a great team environment and ensure your team is as efficient as possible.  Why Your Organisation Needs Team Coaching? A Boon for Multi-Generational Teams: If you work in the modern workforce, or if you’re managing a team with employees of different generations, you have likely experienced the challenges that come with working across generations.  Each generation has different needs, values, approaches to work, and varying comfort levels with technology, making team coaching challenging at best and absolutely impossible at worst. The good news is that there’s an easy solution for all of these issues: ICF Team Coaching! Team coaching lays out proven approaches that build trust and credibility in your multi-generational team, allowing people to feel valued and supported while being coached by someone outside their “tribe,” so to speak. A Mirror for Leaders at All Levels. Most leaders are stuck in echo chambers that merely reinforce their own ideas. Meanwhile, the newest hires who are not yet inducted into the culture are usually fully aware of the reasons why a particular strategy won’t work, but they tend to remain silent for fear that speaking up could put their careers at risk. Team coaching works as a mirror for leaders by providing an antidote to these echo chambers with its innovative process of establishing honest conversations with everyone in the organization. This approach opens up an entirely new level of transparency, communication, and innovation among employees at all levels—and it has the power to transform your entire organization. There’s Plenty of Evidence that Team Coaching Works. Wonders! The next big thing in the Organisational Development domain is Team Coaching. It’s helping organizations create a culture of trust, building focused and high-performing teams, co-creativity, and long-term, measurable results. After investing in Team Coaching Training, businesses have seen significant upticks in their bottom line and market share. The results of this practice have been studied by various research teams and organizations worldwide, with studies unanimously stating that organizations that use team coaching as part of their leadership development programs experience an ROI of 7-10 times.  ICF Team Coaching – A Necessity Not just Google, many world-renowned organizations show empirical evidence of team coaching’s wonders. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, Deloitte, Flipkart, P&G, Tata Group, and several others have improved their Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and transformed their association by integrating a culture of coaching. As organizations look to maximize the potential of their employees, they must also consider maximizing the potential of their teams. Systemic Team Coaching is an advanced and transformational style of management that elicits the talent and potential of all team members.

Teamwork and performance are sacrosanct in corporate and sports events. As a sportsperson and as a team member, we know that responsible factors of high-performing teams include aligning towards goals, remaining innovative, and adapting quickly to internal and external changes. Team coaching explores subsurface dynamics of individuals, subgroups that impact team performance.  Team Coaching enlightens us on how individuals can and should move from ‘I’ to ‘We’, bring about more trust, connections and also addresses how to handle team dynamics in various scenarios. Snehal Kole is the Founder and CEO of Evolve Biz Consulting.

He is a certified facilitator in situational leadership, Situational Coaching, NLP & MBTI. Snehal is also a Strategic Advisor to Sourav Ganguly for his brand endorsements and engagements. Nilesh Kulkarni is the first Indian to take a wicket in his first ball in test cricket. Nilesh represented India for 4 years and Mumbai for 17 years. Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar awardee by Govt. of India, Nilesh is an active member of Cricket Improvement Committee and Directorate of Sports and Youth Services, Mumbai and National Sports Education Board Committee, Delhi. Nilesh founded India’s first professional sports management institute to offer UG and PG programs in collaboration with Mumbai University.  Marco Buschman is an internationally recognized Leadership Expert, Master Certified Team and Executive Coach, International Facilitator, Inspirational Speaker and Bestselling Author of the famous book, “The Connection Quotient.” He supported thousands of leaders and termed strategic issues and personal development. He is specialized in creating the best performance culture focusing on results and productivity combined with trust, respect and appreciation of differences. Difference between coaching an individual and a team This is the question that sounded silly to me because, at the end of the day, teams are a bunch of individuals only, but Marco Buschman’s response brought clarity to me. He says that both are different professions. Individual coaching involves working with the person and all of its elements. Team coaching involves working with a system. Few tend to do individual coaching in a team setup, which impacts trust. Working in an environment of a system is about making the people aware of how the system works, how everyone can work together, how each one can help others. It is more about how the coach interacts with the system.  Nilesh Kulkarni explains with cricket analogy. A coach has a different place while the captain is the lead, who calls the shots (way of playing). A coach aligns the thoughts, designs strategies, prepares a complete plan of action which suits the players, comforts, and manages the players into their different situations. But in games like basketball, football, baseball, a coach takes the leadership role. He calls the shots, the captain executes them. The leadership role as a coach needs to define the ‘thin line’ – how to cross it; by performing or empowering. How the line is defined determines the role of a coach.  Transition to the role of a Coach from Individual to Team Mr. Nilesh was thankful to have Frank Tyson who played a great role in his life. He helped Mr. Nilesh excel and realize what needs to be done as a young cricketer. When he went from first-class cricket to international cricket, equipping him to take a back seat and excel though he was very well equipped with skills. Primarily, the requirements are empowerment, decision-making ability.  What is a group and a team. What is the role of a leader? The speakers emphasize the role of communication, and I couldn’t agree more with this point. Being a member of teams at various points, I think communication (from the leader to the team, between the team members) is the strongest link that can accelerate the team outcomes. In the transformation to Team, the role of communication differs. Communication with a leader is different from communication with the team members. For a coach, the empowerment of team members determines the outcome of the entire process. Many people prefer to stay in a group without voicing opinions. Communicating to the senior authority, for empowerment to happen in the right way is the key to success. Unfortunately, people are afraid to share an opinion that is critically relevant at a particular moment. A way has to be found to make sure what we wish to communicate is done in the right manner. To me, I prefer to stay silent because of fear of failure, fear of getting looked down upon, fear of being judged (in the wrong way) and fear of being outcasted holds me back from putting my views forward. A leader who drives the team is answerable and accountable. This is what differentiates a group and a team from Mr. Nilesh’s perspective.  Mr. Marco adds a leader must be open to accepting all the suggestions even if he has a completely opposite opinion. He has to build psychological safety among the members. A leader must be brave to take tough decisions. “The leader is as good as the team. If the team performs well, the leader to gets the credit for it”  Coach Preparation for the Mega events (World cup, Olympics) Since the panelists had such decorated coaches and players from the sports industry, I was looking for some insights on sports, fitness, mental toughness, etc. all that is shown in the biopics of great sportspersons (yes, I am a little filmy) Behind the scenes, preparations are not always seen publicly. Olympics, for example, the preparation started 3 years ago. The coaches have a long sight. The preparation starts right after the previous event – Identifying the players, outstanding performers, building healthy relations in the team, training them. As part of the preparatory work for the recent Olympics, the hockey men and women team was confined for 15 months. They were kept away from their family, friends. They were all together by themselves isolated, the psychologists were assigned, members were assigned with individual members. Mr. Nilesh also believes that “the preparation must start right after the previous session is finished” because the time is very limited.  Marco gives this a different spin and explains from a business perception. With respect to sports, 90% of the time is utilized for preparations for the final day. Similarly, in the business too, a lot of time should be used in working on the team, experimenting day by day. Every day has to create results. It is important not only to train people on technical skills, but they also need to develop personal skills to be even better.  Marco dwells upon his book – Connection Quotient, where he explains relationship trust. There are 2 key elements- Building trust Integrity In order to build trust in a relationship, understanding among all the members is very essential. Sharing similar interests also creates better relationship trust between individuals. In a team, everyone is right. Every person’s opinion is true, what matters is the perspective. While a person’s opinion may be contradictory, simply consider it.  Role of a coach and time of appointment Slowly the discussion drifted to the importance of a Coach for a team. The role of the coach depends on the goal of the team. Mr. Nilesh recollected a test series where Team India had lost with 36 runs, all out; Captain Virat Kohli came for fraternity league where 6-8 players were injured during the tenure of the test series. In the entire team of players, the only player who could play was one extra who was brought with the support staff. The rest of the players were injured and a few had to fly back to India.  The coach kept the morale high. It was entirely a new team playing against an established Australian team.  The performance they showcased relied on:   Belief Trust in their abilities Accountability and Responsibility Well Directed Practice They became accountable for the right and the wrong step they took. The belief that was instilled by the coach was phenomenal as against the outcome of that series. This reflects the character. “When a person believes in oneself, trusts the team, and is transparent within the team, the outcome would be phenomenal”. Areas that coach focuses in Transformation, Performance, Reform stages All of us, in the team, are in different stages. Independent of which stage one is in, the factor that matters the most is attitude. Results of research by Google on best-performing teams say ‘psychological safety is the primary aspect for obtaining the best results irrespective of whether the person has extraordinary capabilities. Nilesh adds, “Start accepting failures, that results in better outcomes”, while he recalls the popular quote of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, “Definition of FAIL is, First Attempt In Learning”. In the end, only two things happen – either we Succeed or Learn.

“If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone.” @naval – ‘Am I cut out to become a coach?’ – ‘Can I coach?’ – ‘Do I have it in me to touch lives deeply through professional coaching?’ – ‘When do I start coach training?’ – ‘Will I be able to complete the Regal certification, ICF credentials?’ Common questions aspiring coaches (corporate leaders, professionals, business owners, and others) ask us. Agree with Naval, don’t ask us or anyone else. Go by what your heart says, your heart will never go wrong. Your heart knows. Not the cognitive, ego-based, ‘monkey mind’. \Coaching is also the journey from head to heart. – While ‘everyone needs a coach’, not all are ready for it. – To ‘become a coach’…  is not for everyone. Just like any other professional role. We are just wired differently. No one becomes a coach accidentally. No one wakes up one morning, and decides to ‘become a coach’. You evolve to a coach, at consciousness level, over several births (whether you believe in rebirth or karma or other elements of spirituality!). It has to be the passion, life goal, deep desire to touch lives. And the journey to becoming a coach, and then being a coach is not easy either.  If you want to build a ship, teach the men to yearn for the vast and endless sea – Antoine De Saint-Exupery (de Saint-Exupéry was a French writer, poet, aristocrat, journalist and pioneering aviator. He became a laureate of several of France’s highest literary awards and also won the United States National Book Award.) ICF-approved Coach training and Regal certification (#ACSTH) with #RegalUnlimited. A new batch starting on August 14th, 2021, on alternate Saturdays. Don’t compromise on your journey to your purpose, your full potential as a professional coach, no shortcuts will work. Learn to coach, learn with the best.

Brief Summary of the Webinar This global webinar by Ruchira Chaudhary, a leading executive Coach draws focus on the importance of being a leader as a coach to empower, elevate and help others shine bright  leaving the leadershine brighter too. Ruchira’s book Coaching: The Secret Code to Uncommon Leadership by Ruchira Chaudhary actively picks examples from sports, businesses and individuals to highlight how leaders need to imbibe the Coaching mindset to help them not only nurture the next line of leaders but also become great leaders for their organizations. In this webinar hosted by Regal Unlimited, Ruchira  mentions that it’s not always important for the Coach to know all the answers. It is in fact the ability to question to elicit answers or partner with the client/teams to be able to arrive at an answer, that differentiates an extra ordinary leader-coach She drives home the point how Coaching can help one to be a better version of themselves. Her book, she says is essentially not a book on leadership but the journey of a leader from being a leader to a leader- coach . Coaching, she says, has the power of not only elevating the Self but also helps in maximizing the success of others. She says that she did not know what Coaching was all about when she embarked on this journey. She also mentions how Coaching is hard work  and in order to become one, one should earnestly have the will to change.  An extremely interactive webinar, Ruchira points out that one cannot become a great leader without being a Coach. It is very important for a leader to recognize and accept that he/she does not have all the answers and be willing to seek them externally. She also highlights how when organizations embed a culture of Coaching in their leaders, it sure is bound to have a top down effect. She elaborates on how the 4C model (Clarity, Consciousness, Capability and Confidence) can unleash human potential within Organizations. Ruchira also answers questions on different aspects of Coaching and what it can do for the leaders as well as for the organizations. She wraps up the webinarby saying how Coaching is all about being present in the moment and also being available, understand the reality and bring out the best either in self, individuals or teams.

Topics covered in the webinar Leader As a Coach Organization Evolution Leadership styles Summary Discussion Brief Summary of the Webinar Regal Unlimited in association with Leon VanderPol hosted a global webinar on Leader as a Coach where Vanderpol talks in depth how Coaches can achieve Transformational Leadership. Leon Vanderpol is the founder of Centre for Transformational Coaching and has a rich experience in Deep Coaching. He is particularly passionate about human transformation, self-actualization and advancement. Vanderpol has trained many people across the world in Deep Coaching and Transformative Growth process. This webinar will surely leave you energized to move forward in your transformational journey. In this webinar Vanderpol talks passionately about how we can create workspaces where everyone feels “powered, belonged and engaged and where every opinion matters”. He talks at length how leadership can be transformational in its truest sense and how leaders can be Coaches. Vanderpol talks about how deeply he was influenced by the book: Reinventing Organizations — A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by Next Stage of Human Consciousness by Frederic Laloux . The organizations have been colour coded from Red to Teal as per their style of functioning in terms of leadership where Red stands for organizations which are autocratic in their leadership styles and Teal stands at the other spectrum where organizations are empathetic, where people matter and are truly evolutionary in nature. Teal organizations represent a shift in consciousness and Vanderpol discusses in the webinar  how organizations can work towards becoming Teal Organizations. For any organization to become Teal they need to create an ecosystem of Teal leaders. He also talks about the Coaching continuum i.e. the three types of Coaching styles — Transactional, Developmental and Transformational. Transformational Coach is one who is truly evolved in every aspect of the word and deeply connected to his/her inner being. For a Coach to be truly evolved he/she needs to peel off the layers of the persona created around themselves to connect to their true Self. Transformational Coaches embody higher consciousness and Teal leaders Vanderpol says can create soulful workplaces which work with passion and purpose.

Introduction We congratulate you on taking a decisive and inspiring step to embark on your journey of ‘becoming a coach’ and ‘being a coach’. This journey will most likely transform your career and your life. The first important milestone in this journey is selecting an ICF Coach Training Program. You must take into account the important factors that will help you make the selection. There are many coach training institutes and many coach training programs that you can choose from. It can be very confusing. So we will help you cut through the clutter and make a choice that is right for you. What is the International Coaching Federation, exactly? International Coaching Federation is a non-profit organization that is the gold standard in coaching and coach training. It acts as the body that certifies, credentials and prescribes the code of ethics that govern the certified coaches. ICF ensures high quality, credibility and an ecosystem to the coaching industry. It is the BEST Coach Training Methodology, accepted globally! Questions to Ask when choosing an ICF Coach Training Program Here are some questions that you may have or ask when selecting the best coach training program. We hope our answers will prompt you to choose the ICF Coach Training Program as it is globally acclaimed and the most reputed one at that. Q1: Why do I want to learn how to coach? It would help if you were clear about what your motivation for becoming a coach were. A simple answer like, “I want to be able to coach others,” will not be enough. You must go deeper to understand what drives you to want to coach? What do you want to get out of it? It is essential to know this so that your choice of where you get your coach training and the kind of coaching you get should fulfill your needs. Here are a few reasons for you to consider: I want to see others grow and play at their full potential I have been promoted to a leadership position, and I think coaching my team members will help them perform better. I want to have better relationships with my team members. Coaching will help my team perform better and ensure that I am seen as an effective leader. Coaching Certification will be a stamp of approval for the knowledge and experience I already have I want a develop a new career as a coach I want to make more money I want to train leaders to adopt a coaching style in their day to day interactions to embed coaching as an organizational culture. I want to train internal executive coaches to create an internal coaching function. Once you have thought through what you want from your Coach Training, it would be a great idea to write it down. Q2: How would I like to receive ICF Coach Training? Ask yourself what the best way that you like to learn is. Consider your past experience. In what way did you find learning most enjoyable? Here are some learning methods for you to consider: Do I learn best when I am: In a classroom setting, with facilitator-led training? Learning online, or with the learning materials at my own pace? Through personal guidance and mentoring? Together in a learning group? Which platform suits me the most? The computer, the phone, or face-to-face? If I go for face-to-face training, does location matter to me? ICF Coach training can be provided through all these means, be it face-to-face or using virtual learning mechanisms, with equal ease. Regal Unlimited, being an ICF approved coaching institute provides 1:1 batch training (both physical and virtual mediums) and one-to-one mentoring. Also deploys adult-learning methodology to ensure that the learning is smooth and effective, aligned with your learning style. The alumni community of RegalCoaches support you throughout the journey and beyond.  Q3: Whom would I want to coach? Have you thought through the kind of people you want to coach? Here are a few situations for you to consider: I want to coach as a professional in an organization, or is coaching a personal enterprise? I enjoy working with people who take up challenges or those who are aiming for higher achievements? Would I like to coach individuals or teams? I would want to work with people at which levels of their organizations?  Again, it’s time to put the pen on the paper and capture your thoughts, for they will help you choose the right coach training program. Q4: What should I be learning when I receive coach training? It is essential to know what you should be learning, when you receive coach training. Firstly, your values and philosophy should be aligned with those of the coach training provider. Secondly, coach training should help you develop three things: a coaching mindset, a coaching skill set, and a coaching toolset. To elaborate on this: Coaching mindset: A coach does not provide answers but helps the coachee/client find their own solutions. Here are a few more: Letting the coachee discover is far more powerful than telling them what you know, you think you know! Change from within can transform and produce lasting impact compared to change that is externally imposed. Your coachee is more important and not you. Coaching Skill Set: For those who are used to talking, offering solutions, and sharing their experience, the biggest challenge is to stop talking. They find it difficult to ask questions as they think they know all the answers. Coaches use these skills in their practice: Active listening to encourage others to express deeply. Asking powerful questions to elicit deep insight. Prompting self-assessment that helps avoid being defensive. Encouraging action steps to help realize value. Following-through to ensure outcomes. Coaching toolset: Coaching is not the same as training. Therefore, training tools cannot be used in coaching. Different tool sets need to be used. Some of these are. Learning through 2- way conversations. Discovery sessions to identify the most relevant topic to the coachee/client. Coaching the person, for solving their problems, not solving it for them Methods for identifying and challenging the self-limiting beliefs. Goal setting, deeper exploration and action-planning for the coachee/client Action planning tools. Regal@60 is our flagship tool; a game-changer for personal and professional alignment  Regal unlimited ensures an end-to-end support in equipping the learners and leaders with all three; the coaching mindset-coaching skillset-coaching toolset, diligently adhering to the ICF coaching certification framework. Q5: What kind of certification would I like? For your coaching clients to take you seriously, certification is essential. It ensures that you are seen as a professional at coaching. A certificate, therefore, becomes critical. It is crucial to choose a coach training program that has the most reputed coaching association accreditation. Coaching being an unregulated field, it is essential to select carefully from where you would get your coach training. The world’s largest professional coaching association is The International Coach Federation (ICF – www.coachfederation.org ), which is the most reputed organization in the field of coaching. They are the source of ICF certified coaches who could provide you ICF Certified Coach Training. Regal Unlimited is the Coaching school for the world, having regal coaches across the globe. Be it in India or overseas, we are committed to deliver effective and exceptional coaching and coach training to our coaches. Regal Unlimited is a pioneer in ICF Coach certification in India attracting Coaches and Corporate leaders (across functions and levels) to set out on a fulfilling journey. We have been setting best-practices and new benchmarks in professional coaching in India. Q6: What kind of coaching would I do? Are you going to be doing coaching as something that adds to your leadership skill and improves your leadership style to help your team members develop and get better performance from them? Or are you planning on becoming a full-time coach, who will be helping individuals and leaders develop their potential? In any case, it is an excellent approach to build a strong foundation with an ICF Coaching Certification. Q7: How will I receive the coach training? Having decided to go for an ICF Certified Coach Training, you need to determine how you will receive it. If you are from India, it may be useful to learn from ICF Certified coaches in India as they are likely to be culturally more ‘attuned’ to you and your background. It is essential to be clear about your medium of learning. Would you prefer an online or offline course? Do you like attending webinars? Will there be a classroom part of the training? Is it a blend of both online and face-to-face? Having asked these questions and clarified all these points, you will be in a strong position to select the coach training that is right for you. If you are in Bangalore, ICF Coach Training in Bangalore is available. ICF Coach Certification in India is now a growing trend. Be a part of the exciting and satisfying journey towards coaching.

If you are from India, it may be useful to learn from ICF Certified Coaches in India as they are likely to be culturally more ‘attuned’ to you and your background. It is essential to be clear about your medium of learning. Would you prefer an online or offline course? Do you like attending webinars? Will there be a classroom part of the training? Is it a blend of both online and face-to-face? At Regal Unlimited, we offer hybrid coach training for individuals. We have a blend of online and offline training to maximize the learning experience of our learners.  Corporates enter into an engagement with us for coach training too. These in-house coach training programs are completely offline. We provide 1:1 batch training and 1:1 mentoring. We deploy adult-learning methodology to ensure that the learning is smooth and effectively aligned with your learning style. Q9:What is My Budget? The budget is another determining factor in the equation while choosing a Coach Training Institute. There are many coach training institutes that offer programs at a very low cost that you can consider if you are looking only for an ICF credential (although, this is discouraged by ICF themselves), but, if you are looking to be one of the best professional coaches in the industry, you must be willing to invest that amount in yourself to reap the benefits.  ICF Credentialing is a marathon. And marathon becomes memorable if you have complete handholding, a good company to keep and experienced trainers. All of this is relevant to your coaching journey Do you look at the budget as an expense or an investment? Your answer to the question will determine your journey and your destination.  Q10:Is the ICF Program Accredited? The Coach Training Programs that Regal Unlimited  offers are ICF certified and accredited. You can see the Regal Unlimited’s accreditation on the ICF website. Click here. (Just search for Regal Unlimited in the Accredited body section) Q11:Are the Trainers for ICF Program Credentialed? Our USP is that other coach training institutes employ ICF ACC and PCC trainers. Our trainers are Master Coaches (ICF MCC). Master Certified Coaches have gone through the exta rigor of clocking over 4000 hours of coaching, hence they are well aware of the practical nuances and challenges of Coaching a wide range of individuals from diverse backgrounds.  It is imperative that you get trained with a Coach who is MCC Credentialed. For our learners, we offer the training from a minimum of TWO MCC Credentialed Coaches. This is our commitment of giving our learner coaches the BEST in the category. Your training decides the trajectory of your coaching profession. Don’t settle for less! Q12:Is Mentoring Included in the Quoted Price or Is There an Additional Cost? Mentoring is included in the quoted price at no additional cost. Q13:How Much Time Should You Commit? An often repeated question aspiring coaches ask is, how much time will it take to become an ICF Credentialed Coach? Can they pursue coach training while they are doing their 9 to 5 job?  The answer is – Yes. Many of our learners are getting trained to become Coach while they are in a full time role in their organization.  The total time commitment, on an average is 10-12 months.  The first 4 months, we complete the Coach Training, the next 3 months we encourage our learners to complete the Mentoring and then nudge them to clock the 100 hours of coaching (with due support) in the next 4-5 months. Finally submit the recording and write the ICF Credentialing Exam in the last one month. We take pride in providing complete handholding (throughout the journey, be it 12 months or more) Q14:What about the After-Training Support? Many Coach Training Institutes offer certification and that’s about it. Nothing else. However, we at Regal Unlimited firmly believe in the Golden Triangle of Coaching. Becoming a Coach, Being a Coach and the Business of Coaching. Our regular engagements with our 300+ alumni is a testament to that. Our programs – Regal MuseArt (Webinars to explore new concepts in leadership, mentoring, etc. led by experts), Coach Accelerator (Regular connects  to help generate business for our alumni) and Coaching Unlimited (3 days getaways for a small group of successful coaches for their CCEUs with a focus on high-quality coaching) are some of the examples of that.

Many of the Coach Training Institute promise you that they can craft your ‘BRAND’ as a Coach. That you can start earning millions overnight because of the niche brand that they will help you get!  While building a brand as a coach is critical, it is also time taking and complex for the following reasons! Coaching is a highly unregulated market. Research shows that the entry barriers to this industry are extremely low. Literally anyone can call themselves coaches! 80% of the Coaching business comes from Referrals. Building brand can help… but more important than that is training to become a Good and True Coach. Overpromising to ‘sell’ you is akin to putting the cart before the horse. To build a Brand requires consistency (from the website, to the newsletters to the content you put out as a coach) It doesn’t happen overnight They overpromise you about getting the clients. In our opinion, its only a crutch… Coach has to be self-reliant and shape his/her BRAND Tread with caution, and not fall for towering promises of overnight successes as a Coach! Conclusion We hope these answers will help you in making your choice. Meanwhile, you can hear from our alumni about their experience of Coach Training with us. Write to us: info@regalunlimited.com

Consider an executive recently promoted to a leadership position. Her career progression has been from being a brilliant technical expert to an effective project manager to a program manager, mentoring several project managers, delivering a lead, and becoming the chief technical officer of a Bangalore headquartered Indian IT company. She operates from Bangalore but travels worldwide to manage relationships with global clients.  Her reliable track record has helped her influence clients to close several large deals. But the high-performance also brings the unsaid challenges of being a newly appointed executive. Executive Coaching for Executive Challenges Irrespective of backgrounds, industries and geographies, senior executives face similar challenges –  The competencies that helped them attain that leadership position may not be the same as those needed to be successful in that role.  Maybe they need to raise their performance standard in the new role, which is more complex.  Perhaps the new position requires a new way of thinking, a new set of skills, a new strategy, or more effective leadership skills.  Maybe the organization is facing a crisis, and the new leader needs to manage that while also building the roadmap for the organization’s future success. Best Executive Coaching Program is a proven method to deal with these challenges and help a new executive be successful Executive Coaching works as a powerful support  by promptly providing personalized, one-on-one development inputs. Executives can learn to find the solutions to immediate challenges and starts building the foundations for sustainable long–term success. There are excellent executive coaching options in Bangalore.  How does Executive Coaching enhance performance and creates a successful future? Here are the six key elements by which the CTO we met earlier can overcome challenges and enhance performance. 1. Selecting a coach The first step in executive coaching is to find a qualified, competent, and experienced world-class coach who can help take her performance to the next level. For our newly promoted Bangalore-Based executive CTO, it would be convenient to choose from those who provide executive coaching in Bangalore-credentialed and experienced executive coach at Bengalore who has groomed executives across industries, understands her challenges and may be able to converse in her language or preferably relate to her cultural background.She could select someone who has been doing executive coaching for Bangalore-Based IT companies. 2. Contracting and Deciding on goals Clarifying goals, roles, and responsibilities: The executive and the coach must agree on the executive’s goals, performance goals, and developmental goals. They also need to decide what role either one will play and what they will be responsible for. The logistics of the coaching sessions: When and how the coaching sessions will be conducted. Face-to-face meetings, virtually online through email or WhatsApp exchanges or a combination of these. Our CTO should consider her preferences and availability to receive executive coaching in Bangalore or while traveling , find out her coach’s choices, and mutually agree on conducting the sessions. What kind of schedule works for both?: How often should the executive coaching sessions be conducted, and what is the executive coach’s availability at Bangalore physically and virtually elsewhere? Managing confidentiality: During executive coaching our CTO would have to reveal a lot about herself and her organization. Should her coach report her progress to her supervisor? Fees and payment terms: Do coaching services incur additional costs? Under what conditions are canceled appointments charged? What are the steps to discontinue the coaching engagement? 3. Assessments and Feedback Assess strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and impact. The executive coach would help our CTO to assess herself using assessment tools and feedback from relevant stakeholders, as needed. Provide assistance interpreting feedback. Once the data from instruments and feedback are compiled, the coach can help her interpret the outcome and identify her development areas based on the competency gaps between what she has versus what she needs. Determines roadmap for success. Based on the identified developmental goals, the executive coach would help her create the directional roadmap to overcome her competency gaps. 4. Development Planning Produce a detailed development plan. The executive coach can help our CTO develop her detailed learning plan and the actions she needs to take to achieve her learning goals. Whether they are taking courses, doing a project, or being mentored by an expert. Clarify the development process and progress benchmarks. Her coach can also help determine the timelines and benchmarks necessary to track her progress. 5. Stakeholder Engagement Gain commitment and support from stakeholders. She would need to ensure that her key stakeholders support her development plan. Her executive coach could help her communicate with them effectively.  Build agreement on developmental priorities. With her coach, she can  work towards agreeing with her stakeholders on her development priorities.  Develop critical mentoring relationships. Being mentored by more experienced and accomplished professionals is a great way to establish oneself. Her coach can help her find mentors and get into a mentoring relationship 6. Implementation and Ongoing Planning Practice new behaviors and troubleshoot obstacles. Once her plan is detailed, and buy-in is obtained from her stakeholders, she can work with her business coach to practice new behaviors necessary in her new role, identify potential obstacles, and overcome them. Track progress in developmental areas and measure outcome. She can continue to work on her development goals and regularly meet with her executive coach to track her progress on her action plan and evaluate the results. She can then work out shortcomings with her coach’s support. The above six elements of executive coaching can ensure success, as it eventually did finally for the newly appointed CTO who decided on executive coaching in Bangalore with a locally based executive coach.  Executive Coaching in Bangalore & India with Regal Unlimited “A Coach does not play the game, but s/he makes you WIN the game” Regarded as the best executive coaching firm in Bangalore & India, Regal Unlimited takes pride in having trained, qualified, ICF Credentialed, and Experienced Executive Coaches who can help your leadership and organizations to WIN in the marketplace.
