I’m choosing a fall course and want something that truly deepens how I coach team motivation and delegation, not just theory. If you’ve done a program that moved the needle — say, a 6-week SDT practicum with live roleplays and RACI drills — what was worth the time?
Looking for certification or pure practice? Did a 6-week SDT practicum; ‘RACI drills’ + manager shadowing made it stick.
, theory-only drives me nuts; if you’ve got six weeks, pick a cohort that uses Management 3.0’s Delegation Poker + Move Motivators with weekly triads and an SDT debrief after one real delegation each week — it surfaces autonomy/competence/relatedness gaps way faster than pure RACI drills. Building on @elljack’s shadowing tip, add a quick “decision rights audit” mapping RACI to the 7 delegation levels and score A/C/R 1–5 post-handoff. If you want a concrete option, look for facilitators running the Delegation & Empowerment workshop as a 6‑week cohort: Delegation Poker & Delegation Board - Management 3.0 Practice; any budget or timezone constraints?
Go for a fall cohort that does ‘live roleplays’ with actual managers, pairs it with an SDT needs map, and requires you to submit recorded sessions for feedback — those three elements changed my delegation coaching the most. If you’ve got access to real volunteers, commit to coaching the same dyad across a few weeks and use this SDT primer to structure debriefs: https://selfdeterminationtheory.org. If you can’t bring real managers, second-best is peer roleplays anchored to actual backlog items from your client org.
