In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of coaching, cognitive coaching, the work of Dr. Marian Diamond, goal-setting and revisiting goals on a regular basis and 3 rules to set better goals as well as activating your unconscious mind to work on goals. Give it a listen! Here are some things to think about or take action on (Takeaways):  ⚡️ Learning doesn’t happen in a straight line ⚡️ Be curious and stay curious ⚡️ Learn by doing and practicing ⚡️ Always be seeking better ways (or uncovering better ways…) ⚡️ "The five things needed for the brain to grow are diet, exercise, challenge, newness and love”  ⚡️ Write down your goals and revisit them on a regular basis  ⚡️ It’s more about focus management NOT time management ⚡️ There’s a difference between stretching your comfort zone and going outside of it--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thecoachingconversation/support

Agile Fluency Model with Ahmed Avais

At the Agile Professional Learning Network - Chicago Chapter's 2017 conference,  and I had the opportunity to talk with  about the Agile Fluency Project. Ahmed had almost literally just finished his presentation on the Agile Fluency Model when Paul sat him down and asked him about it. Ahmed told Paul about the 4 zones of Fluency   Focus on Value   Deliver Value   Optimize Value   Optimize for Systems   The Agile Fluency is different than Maturity Models in that one team cannot be compared to another (therefor weaponizing the model) Ahmed also explains Fluency through the Tarzan example. Tarzan matured relative to his environment - swinging on vines hanging from trees, etc. But, his language fluency never quite developed, and his vocabulary very limited - “Me Tarzan. You Jane.” With a larger vocabulary and more practice at speaking to other humans, Tarzan has a chance to communicate with humans. Without the necessary practice he will either continue at his current fluency level, or his fluency could even diminish.
