What does it mean to be an agile coach? My interview with Ben Cooke

Ben Cooke is a highly accomplished coach and agile delivery professional with more than 15 years experience. 

He helps businesses, teams and individuals to respond to an ever-changing  business environment through coaching, training, consultancy, mentoring and facilitation. 

Outside of his client work, he is also a long-distance runner, and is interested in electronic music and contemporary art, having once had to build online ticketing sites for the likes of the Arctic Monkeys. 

In this podcast we talk about what it means to be an agile coach and how the world of coaching informs his consultancy work.  Ben has supported organisations across a wide range of industries, in both the private and public sectors. 

He's worked with start-ups to scale-ups, to global household names. '

Borrrowing the client's watch to tell them the time' is a jibe often thrown at consultants, but in Ben's experience sometimes clients really do just want to you to tell them what time it is. 

Speaking of time, I recorded this back in April and it's taken me a whole month to edit and post it! So apologies about that lovely listener.
