Coaching – Transforming the Way We Lead

 “Coaching  is  not  merely  a  technique  to  be  wheeled  out  and  rigidly  applied  in  certain  

prescribed  circumstances.  It  is  a  way  of  managing,  a  way  of  leading,  a  way  of  treating  people,  a  way  of  thinking,  a  way  of  being.”  –  John  Whitmore,  Coaching  for  

Performance   OVERVIEW Imagine an organization where individuals thrive, where their potential is discovered and nurtured and their purpose and passion is expressed through their contribution. Imagine you, as a leader, seeing and helping unleash your employees’ gifts and greatest capabilities. This is the work of leadership and legacy and one of the most important roles leaders have on the individuals they lead. Coaching is the tool to achieve this. It is a way of being and leading that assists others to see themselves beyond their self-limiting beliefs, cultivate their creative capacity and build confidence and autonomy. The course is for those who wish to make that kind of impact. It starts with you - your self-awareness and your purpose as a leader. It assists you to understand when and how to use coaching to achieve that purpose. You’ll learn coaching models, processes, and techniques. In addition, you will be able to articulate the role of coaching in your own leadership practice and increase your coaching mastery, as a way of leading. COURSE DESCRIPTION Coaching is a skill that is developed over time. Mastery of these skills requires practice and feedback. The program length and format provides you with enough time to increase your knowledge and then build your skills through live coaching practice and feedback from other participants and the program facilitators. Self-awareness and skill development is accelerated and deepened through this approach. This course blends theory, practice and highly experiential activities, through:

• Facilitated online learning dialogues. • Two supervised teleconference-coaching calls. • Real-life coaching practice with course participants. • An iterative learning process of in-class learning and at work/home practice process. • Independent suggested reading.

LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this course, you will:

• Understand the role of coaching in leadership and how it relates to your purpose as a leader. • Know when to use coaching as a tool to lead. • Work effectively with others to establish coaching relationships. • Apply a coaching framework as well as coaching skills. • Develop foundational coaching-related skills. • Increase your emotional intelligence as it relates to leadership presence and develop mental models and
