Who I am
Recognised and Qualified Coach
In 2018 I became the first Scrum Alliance Certified Team Coach® (CTC®) in Eastern Europe and currently I am the only one in Romania. However, this guide-level certification is not yet another certification which is obtained after 2 days training!
In my constant learning journey, I have and continue to acquire coaching-oriented learning and demonstrated professional coaching skills at the ICF-PCC level. For time being, I am trained in Co-Active Coaching and Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC). I also have knowledge and applied other professional coaching frameworks or practices.
Did you know that coaching is different than consulting and training? Unfortunately, most people who call themselves Agile Coaches don't have a coaching mindset and lack professional coaching skills. They think that coaching is the same as consulting and training and use the terms interchangeably. Don't fall into this trap!
Participation and Leadership in the Agile Community
Internal community participation is helpful, but not sufficient. Therefore, my community participation and leadership occurs outside of my current organisation as well. On top of volunteering, continued growth and giving back, some more examples are:
- I am the founder of the first Scrum Alliance User Group in Romania called Agile Coaching and Beyond.
- Presentations and Open Space sessions at Agile Coach Camp Romania, Germany and Czechia
- Attendance of major global events to constantly keep myself up-to-date and further develop my knowledge and skill
- Coaching Clinic volunteer
- Frequent speaker at major global events
