Description:  Every person has a unique set of strategies that they are probably not fully aware of that underlie their behaviors.  “Strategies” describe the process people use to do anything.   For example, even though you may not know it, you have a strategy for getting out of bed in the morning or deciding what you will eat for lunch.  More general strategies are used for more general behaviors.  For example, you will have a strategy for organizing your physical space or for feeling truly loved.

As a coach, if you can help your client discover their strategies and then either a) use them if they are effective, or b) change them if they are not effective, you will be far more productive in helping your client grow.  You will be introduced to Strategies in Coaching Intensive III.  This elective provides more intensive and focused learning and development of your skills in this area.  The most relevant strategies in coaching are Motivation and Decision Making. 

You will have an opportunity to learn how to elicit those strategies and practice using them in coaching exercises.

• Become more adept at eliciting clients’ strategies

Description:  There is new interest in "Law of Attraction", an ancient philosophy that a person's thoughts (conscious and unconscious), emotions, and beliefs cause a change in the physical world that attracts positive or negative experiences.  “The Secret”, a film released in 2006, popularized the Law of Attraction (LOA). 

Some proponents of the more modern version of the Law of Attraction claim that it has roots in Quantum Physics—“thoughts have an energy that attracts like energy.  In order to effectively channel this energy, proponents state that people must practice four things:

1. Know what one desires and ask the Universe for it.
2. Focus one's thought upon the thing desired with great feeling such as enthusiasm or gratitude.
3. Feel and behave as if the object of one's desire is already acquired.”
4. Be open to receiving it.

For more than 10 years, Anisa Aven has had a successful coaching practice that integrates LOA principles.  In this class, Anisa will explain more about the concepts of the Law of Attraction and also share her insights and expertise with you to add another powerful dimension to your coaching toolkit. 

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the principles of Law of Attraction
• Learn how to incorporate LOA into coaching situations

Description:  One of the most valuable ingredients in a coach’s toolkit is the appropriate use of assessments.  Especially for coaches who work in corporation, it is a virtual requirement.  There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of assessments in the market.  A relatively small subset of these is routinely used in corporate environments.  Having some familiarity with the most popular instruments and knowing how and when to incorporate assessments with your clients is becoming more of a mandate. 

This program will explore several of the most common assessments—their purpose, key concepts, and practical uses.  Then the use of assessments in coaching engagements will be discussed and practiced. 

Learning Objectives:

• Become familiar with important assessments being used in corporations today
• Learn how and when to incorporate assessments into coaching engagements
• Experience the process of coaching from selected assessment reports

Description:  According to Fast Company, “This is a moment in time when people are fiercely independent and intensely collaborative.”  For business executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs, group coaching has become increasingly popular.  It is more cost effective than one-on-one coaching, and it also provides broader access to shared ideas and learning experiences.  One of the most visible and recognized coaches around, Ginger Cockerham, uses a group coaching model almost exclusively in her business.  For coaches, it better leverages their time and increases revenue. 

This class will provide an introduction to group coaching practices and principles and discussions about how group coaching differs from individual coaching, team coaching, facilitation, and training. There is a very different style used in group coaching compared to one-on-one coaching.   

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the unique characteristics of group coaching
• Develop a model of group coaching that might work in your own business
• Learn a structure for successfully delivering a group coaching session
• Create appropriate agreements and documents to use in a group coaching engagement
