if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing

What is it?
Code Retreat + Coaching Dojo
Coach retreat is a one day workshop to experience coaching techniques.
The idea of improving as a coach, using the code retreat framework of "persisting by repeat and change techniques " to handle a "problem".
Rachel Davies has put in place a wonderful model about Coaching DoJos. That is a great way to experiment with coaching during a conference. (As it's a short workshop.)
Coaching DoJo
One stop session, it goes this way :
I have a problem ( kata) . A pair (or team) of coaches coach me - in a free coaching style way - to realize what are the issues/some solutions, etc. The observers give feed-back about the coaching style and suggest improvements. End of the session.
Coach Retreat
Lasts on a day long with time-boxed sessions focused on the same topic. It will go like this :
- Welcome
- Global check in.
- We select a kata.
- do a coaching exercise during 65 mlinutes
- 5 minutes of explaining
- 4 * (10 + 5 minutes)
- 10: minutes of practise
- 5 minutes of feedback
- loop 5 times
- circle of questions
Coach team participate to solve/have more insights about it in a timeboxed period. Retrospect, evaluate the results.
Repeat : as in code retreat, let's say that we'll use some "specified" techniques ie "double loop learning" to go through the problem. Take the time box and do the coaching session. Retrospect/evaluate the results
Repeat : Use another time box and use other techniques. Retrospect and evaluate new findings.
Repeat ...
What type of coach are you at the end of the day ?
