2021 Precise Listening to Empower Important Conversations


Dates: 3rd Thursday of each month (January - November)
Time: 1:00 - 2:15pm MT
Location: Zoom Meeting Room

Minimum: 6; No Maximum



We will practice the coaching skill of precise listening while learning a set of interactive powerful theories that help you understand, predict and facilitate changes in behavior for your clients and yourself. Help your clients manage sensitive and potentially upsetting conversations that lead to lost opportunities, mistrust, backstabbing, and ineffectiveness. Help them learn skills for sharing observations and feelings without getting themselves or someone else into trouble. Make difficult conversations into opportunities for solving problems, creating stronger relationships, and creating a rewarding and effective work environment.

 

This group will benefit any coach whose clients need to learn to manage difficult or unproductive conversations.

 

Key Learning Points & Benefits for Participants: 
Most coaching conversations have multiple levels of meaning and several things happening simultaneously.

This can lead to confused communication and ineffective behavior.

  • Participants will learn to identify how the surface meaning, the deep meaning and the unspoken hidden motivations interact.
  • Participants will learn how to gently intervene in these interactions to facilitate clients in achieving their goals.
  • Help your clients learn skills for sharing observations and feelings without getting themselves or someone else into trouble.
  • Help your clients manage sensitive and potentially upsetting conversations that lead to lost opportunities, mistrust, backstabbing, and ineffectiveness.

 

Experiential Learning Through:
Practice coaching, finding and reviewing media examples, possibly review of recordings. Discussion of all of these things.


Meeting Logistics:
Monthly Zoom video conference meetings
Minimum 6; No Maximum

Learning between sessions will continue through Triad practice between sessions and Basecamp group.

*** Please Note: This group requires an ongoing commitment to stay engaged by attending the sessions for the entire year and deepening your experience through doing the work and triad coaching between group meetings.

 

Note: There will be reading and work between sessions.
