Frequently Asked Questions

What is group coaching?

In our group coaching program you will work in a small group setting to learn, practice, share, and ask questions. Group coaching allows all of the participants to have a shared experience of learning and growth beyond basic one-to-one coaching.

Is there instruction in a group coaching program?

In our group coaching program sessions, approximately half will be instruction and practice in the form of masterclasses and the remainder will be group coaching where you can seek help to practice the techniques we have been learning or other issues you encounter in your organization.

What formats are offered for your programs?

All of our programs unless otherwise indicated are available as virtual group coaching (usually 12 weeks), one-week corporate offsites in Spain, or four-day, intensive corporate offsites near your office location.

What do I need to do to prepare for the program?

Mindset:

Ability to be clear of distractions with a calm quiet place to participate.
Willingness and time to put in the work outside the weekly group sessions.
Interest in setting aside pre-conceived ideas and opening mind to new techniques.

Technology:

Camera, microphone, computer, appropriate internet bandwidth.
Mobile phone with data plan for activity check-in when away from computer.
Basic understanding of online tools or willingness to take extra time to learn.

How is the material presented?

All content used in the program is posted on the learning dashboard and as appropriate available for download. All virtual group coaching sessions are recorded and posted to the dashboard after the session as well. In addition, we have an online support community to share and ask questions.

What is Agility for All doing to create more sustainable programs?

For our virtual programs, all materials are presented and shared digitally. For in-person programs, we allow each participant to make their choice for their learning style, but encourage using digital media.
For offsites, we use local vendors, restaurants that support 0-3km use of food, do not provide or support the use of single-use plastics, and are low-tech during the event.
Whenever possible, we encourage local transportation options as opposed to flying and have even started our offsites on trains to the venue so that participants get to know each other.

What accommodations are made for participants if needed?

Agility for All tries to create an inclusive environment for all of our programs. However, we have to know that there is an accommodation needed in advance to work on a solution. Our online sessions are held on Google Meet with captioning available. We add pictures/photos to our content for visual appeal but when possible do not make them essential to learning. Where they are a necessary element, we do our best to provide accurate descriptions. For our in-person corporate offsites we make every possible attempt to provide accessible spaces. In Spain this is sometimes difficult with older venues, but we will adjust where possible or propose alternate solutions with appropriate advance notice. We also try to use a variety of techniques in our programs to reach different learning styles

What if I want 1-to1 coaching?

We offer a limited number of 1-to-1 VIP coaching sessions each quarter for which members must pre-qualify based on their goals and where they are on their journeys. The VIP coaching packages are for 12 hours over 4 months.

Is there a bundle discount if I want to enroll in more than one program?

Yes. Please contact us at info@agilityforall.com for more information to put together a group of programs that help you to reach your learning goals.

Q: What are the dates that are available for public sign up?
A: 17 September and 24 September

Q: What does public sign up mean?
A: It means that anyone can sign up as an individual. You don’t have to come with your whole company.

Q: What is the schedule for the offsite?
A: We will begin on Sunday evening with a welcome reception and go through Saturday morning breakfast. The program itself ends on Friday afternoon. The full schedule is on the website.

Q: What topics will we be covering?
A: All of the modules are on the website but we will be working through leadership mindset, how we see ourselves, how others see us, what we want the leadership journey to look like, examining biases, ensuring we create safe spaces for everyone, how to facilitate better communication, and the role of leaders as coaches. There will also be group coaching sessions where you choose the topic.

What we won't be covering are management topics such as time management, how to run a meeting, writing reports etc.

Q: How is the material presented?
A: We will have some instruction time, loads of practice and interaction, and even time for reflection. We use a learning dashboard so all of your information is at your fingertips and we have journals for you to use during the program.

Q: Can I attend if I am not in a role that specifically has a leadership component?
A: In our opinion there is no such thing as someone who is not a leader. Everyone has components of leadership in their role and in their daily lives. All are welcome if the material appeals to them.

Q: Who should attend?
A: Our target audience is leaders and aspiring leaders but a leader does not equal a C-suite executive.

Q: What will I get out of it?
A: In large part what you get out of it will depend on your mindset during the program. But what we hope you get out of it is a better understanding of who you are, who you want to be as a leader, and how you interact with people for the maximum benefit of everyone

Q: How many people come to each offsite?
A: Attendance is capped at 10 people

Q: How many coaches are there? What are their credentials/qualifications?
A: Each week will have 2 full time coaches to work with you. Our coaches have years of experience working in diverse environments navigating the complexities of leadership and have also had formalized training to support them.

Q: Is there 1:1 coaching available during the event?
A: We will do our best to have time for 1:1 coaching (30 min sessions) should you have something you don’t want to do discuss with the group

Q: Where can I get more information?
A: www.agilityforall.com/products

Q: Is there a pdf or brochure that I can give to my boss?
A: Yes. There is a downloadable brochure on our website

Q: Is an invoice available or do I have to pay by credit card?
A: If your organization is paying for your attendance we can generate an invoice but it must be paid in full 30 days before the event.

Q: Can we register multiple people?
A: Yes. While we can’t offer a discount, we can help you by preparing an invoice for multiple attendees and registering each one.

Q: How many offsites will there be this year?
We have two open to the public and two dates reserved for organizations that want to send a team of 10. We also run this program as a virtual group coaching program where your organization can choose dates but that will not be an open option until we have filled the offsites.

Q: Do you do offsites on other topics?
A: Yes. All of our programs that are 12-week group coaching programs can also be done as a one-week offsite and if you need a customized program we can discuss.

Q: We don't use Agile at our organization. Is this still for me?
A: Yes we both use the word Agile in our biz names because the practice of agility is not about framework but rather mindset. But this off-site is for anyone who wants to work on their leadership journey regardless of how your organization is structured
