| 4/28/26 | EP13: Hot Seat Questions: Practicing Powerful Questioning in Agile Coaching | Geoff and Paul discuss “powerful questioning” in agile coaching and introduce a practice technique called Hot Seat Questions. They note the term “powerful questions” is often overused and shouldn’t be forced, but good questions can help shift thinking and open up new solutions. In the exercise, a group designates a “hot seat” where one person shares a coaching scenario for 30–60 seconds; each listener then asks one question that the hot-seat person does not answer, but instead gives feedback on the question’s impact (e.g., “That question was powerful because…” or “It could have been more powerful if…”). They emphasise psychological safety, letting go of the need to know, avoiding leading or rambling questions, and noticing nonverbal cues. They end with a brief example and mention downloadable guidance and a request for reviews.Downloadable content: www.inspectandadapt.com/podcasts/ep13-hot-seat-questions00:00 Welcome and Catch Up01:06 What Makes Questions Powerful03:57 Hot Seat Questions Overview04:58 How to Run the Exercise07:51 What Powerful Looks Like09:22 Safety and Letting Go11:13 Feedback Structure and Observations12:35 Common Question Traps15:05 Live Hot Seat Demo19:19 Wrap Up and Resources | — | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | EP12: Exploring the 3D Team Dynamics Model | In this episode of the Agile Skills Library, hosts Paul Goddard and Geoff Watts introduce their audience to the 3D Team Dynamics model. They delve into the origin and application of this technique, which helps in assessing and improving team behaviours. The model categorises behaviours into developing, detailing, and disruptive actions, with subcategories for each. The hosts also discuss the concept of a team heat map, which tracks physical movement and airtime distribution within a team. Throughout the episode, they encourage listeners to try out these techniques and provide downloadable content for practical use.Downloadable content:https://www.agilify.co.uk/resources/the-agile-skills-library/ep12-exploring-the-3d-team-dynamics-model/00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:35 Introducing 3D Team Dynamics02:23 Developing Actions in Team Dynamics05:42 Detailing Actions in Team Dynamics08:47 Disruptive Behaviours in Team Dynamics11:56 Using the 3D Team Dynamics Data17:51 Team Heat Map: The Fourth Dimension21:27 Conclusion and Final Thoughts | — | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | EP11: The Coaching Equation for Successful Change | In this episode of the Agile Skills Podcast, hosts Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard introduce a valuable tool they call the 'coaching equation for coaching change.'

| 3/31/26 | EP9: The 5-5-5 Technique | In this episode of the Agile Skills Library, hosts Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard introduce the 5-5-5 technique, a simple yet powerful method to boost confidence and alleviate imposter syndrome among agile practitioners. The technique involves asking five trusted individuals five specific questions that highlight personal strengths, which they then verbalise back to the requester. This personalised feedback aims to help individuals internalise positive traits, creating a balanced self-perception. This method can be used by individuals or teams to cultivate a more confident and effective agile environment.Downloadable Content:www.inspectandadapt.com/podcasts/ep9-555-technique00:00 Introduction to the Agile Skills Library00:17 Introducing the 5-5-5 Technique01:02 Why the 5-5-5 Technique is Essential02:34 How to Implement the 5-5-5 Technique04:42 Questions to Ask in the 5-5-5 Technique06:02 Receiving and Internalising Feedback10:57 Applying the 5-5-5 Technique in Teams12:00 Conclusion and Additional Resources | — | ||||||
| 3/24/26 | EP8: Leveraging Video Reviews to Abstract Thinking | In this episode of the Agile Skills Library, coaches Geoff and Paul discuss the concept of video reviews, a method they’ve used in advanced Scrum Master training for over a decade. Inspired by NBA coach Phil Jackson's unconventional methods, they explain how videos and various other media can provide valuable insights for scrum masters and product owners. They describe the structure they use (What, So What, Now What) to help students digest and apply the content. They also share plans to provide tools and curated video content for listeners to try the exercise themselves, aiming to foster deeper learning and broader connections beyond traditional scrum and agile topics.Downloadble content available at:https://www.agilify.co.uk/resources/the-agile-skills-library/ep8-leveraging-video-reviews-to-abstract-thinking/00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:09 The Concept of Video Reviews01:13 Origins and Inspiration from Phil Jackson03:20 Implementing Video Reviews in Training04:10 Benefits and Outcomes of Video Reviews06:32 Practical Application and Structure13:08 Diverse Content and Storytelling14:01 Conclusion and Resources | — | ||||||

| 3/10/26 | EP6: Surviving the Stakeholder Safari: Expedition Mapping for Challenging Conversations | Geoff and Paul discuss Geoff’s new book, "Surviving the Stakeholder Safari," a stakeholder-management approach using “expedition mapping” as an alternative to their earlier “battle mapping” metaphor. The method uses 50 animal archetypes (each an acronym) to describe common workplace behaviors such as the seagull and the lion, stressing empathy and avoiding labeling people as villains. Geoff outlines six steps: set a clear destination, define non-negotiables, identify relevant animals, assess likelihood/impact and triggers (including pack dynamics and balancing stakeholder types), choose strategies/tactics for each archetype, and “pack your backpack” with navigation, evidence, relationship, boundary, and self-management tools. They note the value of storytelling and visual, card-based mapping, and share where to find the book and a downloadable expedition mapping template.Downloadable content here: www.inspectandadapt.com/podcasts/ep6-expedition-mapping01:03 Book Launch Announcement02:07 From Battle to Safari02:54 Animal Archetypes Explained04:26 Expedition Mapping Setup05:54 Six Steps Overview06:41 Step Two Non Negotiables07:43 Step Three Identify Animals09:45 No Labeling Just Empathy11:25 Step Four Risk Assessment12:42 Packs and Stakeholder Dynamics14:44 Step Five Strategy Planning14:58 Tactics for Seagulls16:01 Handling the Lion Now17:04 Pick Tactics per Animal17:22 Pack Your Backpack18:07 Navigation and Evidence Tools19:51 Relationship and Boundary Tools21:24 Self Management Tools23:48 Wrap Up and Resources | — | ||||||

| 2/3/26 | EP1: SPEED Coaching – Choosing the Right Way to Help | In this first episode of The Agile Skills Library, Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard unpack SPEED coaching — a simple way to choose how to help, not just what to do.If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “Should I give advice here… ask better questions… step back… or change the system instead?” — this episode is for you.SPEED is a simple but surprisingly powerful way to consciously choose how you help, based on the situation, the relationship, and the kind of impact you’re aiming for. It’s not about “doing coaching properly” or sticking rigidly to one style. It’s about judgment.In this episode, we walk through the full SPEED model using a very real Scrum Master scenario, exploring when each approach makes sense, the trade-offs involved, and why faster help often creates dependency — while slower help tends to stick.This episode is primarily aimed at Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and team coaches, but the ideas apply just as well if you’re a leader, a manager, or even thinking through your own decisions.You’ll also find a free downloadable SPEED coaching template from the link below to help you use the model with a team, a colleague, or yourself.https://www.inspectandadapt.com/podcasts/ep1-speed-coachingTimestampsIntroduction to the Podcast and Series (00:00:03)Geoff and Paul introduce themselves, the podcast, and the Agile Skills Library series.Purpose and Audience of SPEED Coaching (00:00:46)Explanation of the SPEED Coaching technique, its intended audience, and why it’s important.Coaching Myths and Directive vs. Non-Directive Styles (00:03:04)Discussion of common coaching myths, especially about Socratic questioning and directive vs. non-directive coaching.Overview of the SPEED Model (00:04:30)Introduction to the SPEED acronym, its temporal aspect, and the impact of different coaching stances.Scenario Setup: Retrospectives Not Leading to Action (00:07:03)A practical scenario is introduced: a team not implementing retrospective improvements.S: Suggestions (00:08:14)Explaining the “Suggestions” stance—giving direct ideas or advice to the team.P: Proof (00:12:19)Explaining the “Proof” stance—providing data, evidence, or encouraging experiments to inform decisions.E: Enablers (00:16:38)Explaining the “Enablers” stance—helping the team by removing impediments or providing tools/templates.E: Environment (00:20:28)Explaining the “Environment” stance—changing systemic or environmental factors to influence team behavior.D: Drivers (00:23:53)Explaining the “Drivers” stance—exploring core values, motivations, and personal/team drivers for deeper change.Recap and Application Tips (00:26:15)Summary of the SPEED model, emphasising conscious choice and that no stance is inherently good or bad.Template and Listener Engagement (00:28:10)Announcement of a downloadable SPEED Coaching template and invitation for listener feedback.Series Continuation and Call for Input (00:28:44)Encouragement for listeners to suggest future topics and help shape the podcast’s direction.Closing Remarks (00:29:49)Thanking listeners, encouraging use of the technique, and signing off. | — | ||||||
