Centre for Agile Coaching

The Centre for Agile Coaching evolved out of Just Plain Agile Consulting, who provided Agile Team and Enterprise coaching directly to teams and organisations since 2008. Coaching is a form of leading – leading without authority. Over the last few years the need to grow Agile leaders at all levels, develop Scrum Masters and coaches, and grow agility at senior and executive level have taken up a lot of energy in Just Plain Agile, leading to the decision in 2019 to pivot and focus exclusively on growing agility at the individual level. That does not mean that we do not work with teams anymore, it is that we work with the teams that work with teams themselves. The decision culminated in the creation of the Centre for Agile Coaching, dedicated to growing the skills, knowledge and ability to coach in others. We help you to help yourself, develop you so you have the ability to develop others. We are the leaders in Agile Coaching and Facilitation education and development in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa and the only organisation in Africa that offers certified Agile coach training at both the Team and Enterprise level. As a niche coaching and development organisation we grow and develop ourselves and our clients through partnering with thought and industry leaders, of which the accomplished Marsha Acker’s Team Catapult, our latest partner, is an excellent example. We believe in going out into the world and bringing the best home to South Africa and Africa – at prices that make it possible for locals to attend. In the process we get the opportunity to train internationally, as well as collaborate in the creation of new courses and programs. Antoinette forms part of the AWA Global faculty, headed up by the talented Simon Powers, to offer Enterprise Agility and Coaching education and also co-leads a deeply transformative Enterprise Transformation Lead cohort program with Michael Hamman, author of Evolvagility.
