September 11 ICF North Texas Workshop
Jump Start for a Powerful Coaching Session
MCC Panel: Judy Feld, Teresa Pool, Sara Smith
1:30 to 3:30 PM (Immediately following the luncheon program)
Workshop Price: $59.00
Remember that coaching session that limped along while you were frantically searching your mind for where to go next? Do your clients ever make excuses and disappear after a few sessions? The Coaching Agreement is the most critical, yet least practiced, core competency in our toolkit. The better the agreement, the better the flow of the coaching session, and the more powerful the outcomes for our clients.
Join us as three of our MCC Coaches, Judy Feld, Teresa Pool and Sara Smith, guide you in taking your coaching to the next level and discover “the thing beneath the thing” that makes all the difference for your client meeting their outcomes!
- How to use the session “agreement” to build a strong foundation for the coaching session and reaching results
- How a powerful coaching agreement can discover the “thing beneath the thing”, the real issue that the client wants from coaching
- The role of Coaching Presence, Active Listening and Powerful Questions in creating the coaching agreement
- What the coaching agreement sounds like at all three levels of ICF competency (ACC, PCC, MCC)
- How to use the agreement as a touchstone during the session to maintain focus
- Recognition: Listening for clues and synonyms for “stuck”
Bonus content: Embracing “Stuckness” – how to create a space of relaxed, fertile exploration when you and the client don’t know where to go next.
We encourage everyone who registers for the workshop to also attend the luncheon session since we'll build upon the lunch-time demo in the afternoon.
