Worried that AI will replace Scrum Masters or Agile Coaches? In this deep-dive, Steve explains why your role is more valuable than ever — and exactly how to future-proof your career by doubling down on the human strengths AI can’t replicate.

You’ll learn:

• What AI can’t do: relationships, facilitation, cultural change, coaching, trust-building.
• How to prove your value: influence leaders, land small wins, make impact visible beyond ceremonies.
• Meeting tactics that get you noticed: the “listen, note, reflect, approach” loop to unlock high-level workshops.
• Career safety through mastery: communication, presence, authority, and facilitation that make you indispensable.

Practical actions:

1. At your next portfolio/leadership meeting: switch off distractions and listen end-to-end — capture stated and unstated problems.

2. Journal your observations, reflect, generate options, then approach a leader with curiosity (not solutions).

3. Run a problem-solving workshop to co-create outcomes and showcase your impact.

When you walk into a new team as an Agile Coach, it’s typical — and perfectly ok — to spend the first couple of weeks observing before you do anything practical. But observation without structure can quickly turn into drift, and if the team has had a coach before who just “watched from the sidelines,” they might be wary of the same happening again. In today’s episode, we’ll unpack how to make observation intentional and effective: Why structured observation is the first skill to master as a coach. How to balance holding back with offering guidance in the moment, when the team may be expecting it. The role of 1-to-1 conversations in building early trust and uncovering real insights. • How journaling your reflections sharpens your coaching lens. Why sharing your observations transparently with the team (“Here’s what I’m seeing — how does it land with you?”) accelerates trust and alignment. 👉 By the end, you’ll see how observation, done well, creates the strongest foundation for coaching impact.
