Session 1 Prework: Kata's supporting structure
In this Lesson
Here is a good example of a kata coaching cycle from Mike Rother himself.
What to look for:
Overview of the structure
The learner holds the power and takes the lead on improvement
The coach gets to learn how/what the learner is thinking
Note: Mike Rother just met the learner right before this coaching cycle. This shows the versatility that kata can have where the coach can step in and understand what is going on with little to no context! Additionally, the audio quality is poor, but the content is stellar.
