Why Leadership Agility Coaching?

Now more than ever, organizations that expect to be successful need a more agile form of leadership. 

Our in-depth original research on leadership agility has resulted in what is simultaneously a practical road-map for developing agile leaders and the most up-to-date “vertical development” framework available. As leaders grow, they evolve through “levels of agility” that correspond to well-established stages of adult development. As leaders develop through these levels, they become more agile: more strategic, collaborative, and creative, as well as more proactive in learning from their experience - not only in relationship to those who report into them, but in all their working relationships.

Leadership Agility® Coaching is a highly interactive online program for experienced coaches. Through self-paced video learning, lively breakout exercises, and group discussion, you will learn how to integrate this sophisticated vertical development methodology into your practice.

What leadership and Agile coaches are saying

"This has been an awesome experience. Working with the Leadership Agility Compass, the leadership agility levels and the three 'action arenas' has added a new precision to my coaching."

"This program has been incredibly exciting. I already knew how to ask powerful questions. But now I know how to tailor them to my client's agility level, and I learned new questions and methods that are agility-level-specific."

"I had an amazing experience connecting with phenomenal coaches around the world. (Yes, it is possible to feel connected in a virtual space!). I highly recommend this program to coaches who want to help clients to up-level their ability to lead transformative change."

"Bill Joiner has done an outstanding job melding years of adult development research with his own original research, and developing a digestible framework that will deepen anyone's leadership capacities. Kudos to Debbie Whitestone and Bill for designing and facilitating such an effective program! It was a real source of energy and positivity."

"This was an extraordinary experience. The Leadership Agility framework layers in so well with other approaches I work with, like resilience and emotional intelligence."

"I feel very enthused. Learning the central importance of reflective action and how to work with a leader's "power style" broadened my perspective on coaching and made me more effective."

"This was a very special experience. Really amazing. I've looked forward to each session. Among other things, I got fantastic feedback on my coaching. It felt stretching yet safe.”
