Most #agilecoaches start at the team level as a #scrummaster and slowly progress to a point where they are working with senior #leadership throughout the organisation.  

A process that takes years and countless evolutions in your path to mastery.  

For many people, it happens organically but for some, it is a result of deliberate and specific practice that enabled them to escalate their sphere of influence from the #scrum team to the #leadership team.  

There are great certification pathways to help you move from #agilecoach to a #certifiedteamcoach or #certifiedenterprisecoach, such as the #scrumalliance certification pathways, but you are going to need to earn your stripes along the way by actively practicing in that environment and growing your #coaching skills at both the individual and the team level.  

So, what do you if you have identified leadership coaching as an opportunity for you to flex your #agile coaching fingers? How do you go about learning how to deal with the c-suite and senior leadership team?  

In this short video, John McFadyen walks us through his journey from #scrummaster to enterprise and executive level coach.  

John has worked on some of the highest performing scrum teams in the world as both a scrum master and agile coach. He has also worked at the coalface of some of the UK and Europe's largest, most complex #agiletransformations so he's dealt with line managers all the way through to powerful CEOs in the largest organisations on earth.
