Frequenty asked questions
How long does The Forge last?
It is a year-long immersion experience composed of 52 lessons. It often goes a little longer than a year due to holidays or other circumstances.
This is a big investment - how do I know this is right for me?
Chances are, you’ve arrived here because my work resonates with you. If you like what you’ve heard, this program delivers what you’ve been seeking. If, for any reason, you don’t want to continue, you can cancel with a full refund within the first thirty days after program start. After those thirty days, there are no refunds.
What if I get sick or can't complete the course for personal reasons?
I completely understand how life can be challenging and unpredictable. Your fee includes a one-time roll-back option. If the 30-day guarantee has expired, you can exit the current cohort and rejoin a future one.
What time commitment can I expect?
We do a weekly lesson for one hour, an optional lab and group coaching every second week. There are also six 1:1 coaching sessions for each cohort member over the course of the year.
When are the weekly lessons, labs, and coaching sessions?
Once finalized, the membership decides the optimal lesson/lab time based on time zone. An international cohort will usually have a start time between 12PM EST and 4PM EST. If you ever miss a lesson, you can watch the recorded replay at your convenience.
For 1:1 coaching, you can schedule at your convenience.
How do we meet?
We use Microsoft Teams.
Is there homework?
Yes. Each lesson requires that you perform an exercise. Members report back your results or output to the team in the next lesson. Homework is posted in a shared folder for team review.
If I'm struggling to understand or keep up, what kind of support is available?
I break each cohort up into crews of 6-8. Each crew pairs up members with an accountability buddy. This helps with understanding, retention and progress.
If you’re ever lost, you can reach out to me. My purpose is to guarantee that you get the full benefit of this experience. I’m accountable for your results. I’ll get you the help and support you need.
Are you going to teach us Scrum?
Not exactly. The fundamentals of Scrum, Kanban, Agile, Product Ownership etc are easy to learn. Resources are plentiful. I exist to create elite leaders. You might find that you like applying Agile principles to your growth and mastery even if you don’t work as a Scrum Master or Coach. You might find that you want to grow as a leader in a Scrum Master or Coach role. You might want to apply these principles to your career or entrepreneurial path. Everyone is different.
Sometimes we talk about Scrum/Agile techniques. More often, we find that the problems that plague agile teams are the human problems. Influence, confidence, motivation, inspiration, communication or conflict.
