AgileSoCal Monthly Meeting - Wednesday, July 18th 6:00 PM
Coaching Heuristics: What's in Your Toolkit with Vic Bonacci
When: Wednesday, July 18th
Networking and food, 6:00 PM.
Activities start, 6:30 PM.
Does a carpenter go to work without a toolbox or an angler go fishing without tackle? Of course not! So why would a coach show up without her own tools of the trade? Like many coaches, Victor Bonacci has assembled his own collection of definitions, concepts, charts and theorems that helps him as a coach – a toolkit that he refers to regularly.
Examples include:
- Appreciative Inquiry “4-D” Cycle
- Blake-Mouton Managerial Grid model
- Bus-Length Communication Principle
- Cone of Uncertainty
- Double-Loop Learning
- Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance model
- Dunning-Kruger effect
Join us for a copy of Vic's list (56 documented, and growing). He will share how he uses them and dive into a few with some coaching role-play. We'll discuss what additional heuristics other people may be using.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the value of building your own toolkit
- Identify what to include and where to look for ideas
- Recognize when and how to use heuristics in your coaching practice
Your Presenter:
Victor 'Vic' Bonacci has been working with software teams since 1999, as a programmer, project manager, scrum master, and coach. He lives in Tustin with his wife and daughter, and enjoys our thriving, local Agile community.
