What Agile really means

It’s simply a way of thinking a little outside the box and often not very functional. Agile is about one thing: doing your job wisely, in the shortest possible time. There is no room for performing meaningless tasks and repeating beaten patterns over and over again. It’s worth remembering that agile is not something that can be started by a single person in a team. It is absolutely necessary that the whole team works in the same way.

Who is a coach and what does he/she do

Let’s start with a few definitions :

MENTOR

Mentor is a person with considerable experience in the same or a related field of life or business that you are in. You meet, you talk, and he (or she) can simply advise you on something based on his (or her) own experience, and, if necessary, back it up by consulting his (usually wide and valuable) network of contacts.

COACH

The main difference from a mentor is that he (or she) doesn’t have to know exactly what you’re doing. He doesn’t have to, because a coach doesn’t give advice, but instead asks wise and skillful questions. He or she does it in such a way that you yourself arrive at the right answer that is in line with you and your values, which is somewhere inside you, in Bohemia. And finally: the coach is screwed because of the ongoing spoiling of the market for these services by people without good education, experience and aptitude. Unfortunately, sometimes admitting that you are a coach is a real shame.
