5How does the learning journey look like?
In an initial interview / coaching conversation with us, we confirm, which coaching aspirations the student would like to follow. They can choose from:
Wizard (Focus: Strategy), The Magic Mirror (Mindset), Prince (Alignment), Halfling (Collaboration), Knight (Product), Mason (Tech & Tools) & Spirit (Sustainability).

These aspirations are like video game characters, who need to acquire certain Experience Points through the Sessions they attend. Depending on those sessions, they will receive experience points for Competences as well as activities.

Students sign up proactively for the sessions. In addition to experience points, we will also enable a health points system, which will be based on how active and driven the student is in the program. For example, healthy points stay up, if they frequently attend the sessions and do homework activities. If they fall below a certain point, they might need to re-attend some of the sessions to qualify for the next level.
7What are the costs?
First people to sign up receive access to the whole program for free.

An investment of 7.5 Million VND/month is necessary to get access to 8 sessions per month.

Future Ideas of the Academy

The Coaching Academy just started. But we already look for ways to improve it.
  • Health  Points: To make people stay active and ensure, that the learning is sustainable, we will develop a health points (HP) system, which could take the duration of breaks in between different classes into account.
  • Self Video Learning: With the growth of the academy, we will record sessions and enable the possibility, that participants do not need to wait until the classes are held online or offline synchronously. Through recordings and videos, students can choose what and when to learn.
  • Quizzes & Assessment: Through Quizzes and Assessments, we can evaluate, if the student has watched the video and can benefit from the xPs.
  • Real life internships: Agile Coaching needs practices. We have the plan to build up strong partnerships with organizations to enable students to join a company for a certain time and put the theories into practice.
  • More Automation: Assigning points for attendance and enabling visibility about the progress is somewhat a manual process at the moment. Therefore, it can take times until certain attendance records will be updated. It is our goal to automate this in the future.
  • Non-Fungible Tokens: As a long-term plan, we are looking into the possibility to turn your attendance record into Non-Fungible Tokens to ensure the integrity and authenticty of each use rprofile.
