At CKI we cultivate agile leaders, teams, and cultures. What is an agile leader? They are inclusive, democratic leaders who exhibit a greater openness to ideas and innovations. With a passion for learning, a focus on developing people, and a strong ability to define and communicate the desired vision, they possess all of the tools necessary to successfully inspire others and become an agent for change within any organization. The heart of leadership agility coaching is equipping leaders to engage in pivotal conversations, improve team performance, and lead organizational change.

The five levels of Leadership Agility are:

1. Expert Level: Solve Key Problems
2. Achiever Level: Accomplish Desired Outcomes
3. Catalyst Level: Mobilize Breakout Endeavours
4. Co-Creator Level: Realize Shared Purpose
5. Synergist Level: Evoke Unexpected Possibilities

The four competencies for Agile Leadership are:

1. Self-leadership agility is the ability to use your initiatives as opportunities to develop into the kind of leader you want to be.
2. Context-setting agility improves your ability to scan your environment, frame the initiatives you need to take, and clarify the outcomes you need to achieve.
3. Stakeholder agility increases your ability to engage with key stakeholders in ways that build support for your initiative.
4. Creative agility enables you to transform the problems you encounter into the results you need.

Coaching is a behavioral approach to mutually benefit individuals in the organization in which they work or network. It is not merely a technique or a one-time event; it is a strategic process that has value both of the people being coached and also to the bottom line of the organization.

Coaching establishes and develops healthy working relationships by surfacing issues (raw data gathering), addressing issues (through feedback), solving problems (action planning), and following through (results) — and so offers a process in which people develop and through it obstacles to obtaining business results are removed. Coaching can also be looked at as a peer-to-peer language expressed in a dialogue of learning.

The Multiple Benefits of Coaching

1. Improved Performance and Productivity. Coaching brings out the best in individuals and their teams.
2. Staff Development. Developing people does not mean just sending them on a short course once or twice a year. The way you manage will develop them or hold them back. 
3. Improved Learning. Coaching is Learning on the fast track, without loss of time from the bench your desk. Enjoyment and retention are also enhanced.
4. Improved Relationships. The very act of asking someone a question values them and their answer. If I only tell, there is no exchange.
5. Improved Work Atmosphere. Because of the respect for individuals, you improve relationships. With the success that will accompany coaching, the atmosphere at work will change for the better.
6. More Creativity. Coaching and a coaching environment encourage creative suggestions from all members of a team without theoretical or premature dismissal. One creative idea often sparks off others.
7. Better Use of People, Skills, and Resources. A manager very often has no idea what hidden resources are available to him until he starts coaching. He will soon uncover many previously undeclared talents in his team as well as solutions to practical problems, which can only be found by those who have to carry out a task regularly.
8. Greater Flexibility and Adaptability to Change. The coaching ethos is all about change, being responsive and responsible. Increased competition in the market, technological innovation, instant global communication, economic uncertainty and social instability are here to stay. Only the flexible and resilient will survive.
9. More Motivated Staff. People perform because they want to; coaching helps people to discover their self-motivation.
10. Culture change. Coaching principles are the foundation of the high-performance culture to what so many business leaders aspire. Any coaching program will help make a culture transformation more realizable.
