What is Dojo Coaching?

Do·jo: A six-week immersive learning engagement that embodies the “learn by doing” approach, whereby learning and delivery occur simultaneously. Areas of focus: Agile, product, DevOps, and software development.

So, what?

Supports a Learning Culture
Exceptional Learning Retention
Creates a Space for Empowered People
Helps Attract and Retain People

Learning Culture:��Take, for instance, Google. Over the years, Google has become known for its fanatical emphasis on continuous learning. Employees are encouraged to devote a percentage of their time to continuous learning—experimenting, upskilling, and innovating. This learning-first approach has produced breakthrough products such as Gmail, Google Talk, and Google Now, to name a few. It makes you wonder how much of Google’s trillion-dollar market cap can be attributed to its continuous learning culture.

Learning Retention:�You retain 90% of what you do. 10% of what you hear, 20% of what you see. Credit: Edgar Dale��Empowered People:�The Dojo is driven by experimentation and exploration; therefore, it causes us to ask questions like “What if?” and “Why not?” fueling the fire of empowerment.

Helps Attract and Retain:�Gallup says it can cost $50,000 to replace an employee. Employees are leaving companies in droves due to lacking career development and lack of meaning. Dojo coaching satisfies both areas.
