Our Approach is Learn by Doing
Our style of teaching is immersive and hands-on, where youÌýlearn by doing. As you learn a new concept, you immediately test it out. You get feedback from your classmates and instructors who model co-active coaching to inspire the desired action. We're with you every step of the way as you strive to grow from the experience. This technique builds your coaching muscles as you integrateÌýthe new-found knowledge and skillsÌýinto your coaching toolkit.
Our Proven Method
Ìý
Ask the powerful questions to inspireÌýchange in your client.ÌýYour questions deepen your client's self-awareness.
Example:ÌýWhat would it mean to actively listen to my direct reports at a Team meeting?
As that awareness grows, they begin to experiment with different choices.
Example:ÌýI tried to listen, but I can’t help offering strong opinions.
With self-reflection andÌýyour expert feedback, your clientÌýbegins to process what worked and what didn't work.
Example:ÌýI felt a loss of control because I am used to driving meetings and strategy.
As your client repeats this process, she will integrate a new pattern of behavior into her professional life.
Example:ÌýI need to change my perception of how we get to a successful meeting outcome.
