Continuous Coaching Development

Dates: First Thursday of each month

Time: 6:00 - 9:00pm MT

We are calling the next sessions of the Continuous Coaching Development Education Group, “Working on the Core” -- those things at the heart of what makes us grow.  You’ll gain 2.5 CCE Units towards your ICF certification, and .5 Resources credit. 

Here’s the agenda: 

6.00 – 6.10pm: 
Meet and Greet

6.10 – 6.30pm: 
An icebreaker/warm up to get us in the frame and perceptually ready

6.30 – 6.55pm: 
Brief Introduction to a model or thought process which might help you as you work with your clients, and then a chance for you to select one of the ICF Core Competencies  to work on.

6.55 – 8.30pm: 
Small Group Triads or Quads.  This is a process of “close in coaching” where one person acts as the coach, someone else the client, and then either one or two observers, depending upon attendance.  Our aim is that everyone has the opportunity to practice some “how to’s” on a competency or indicator of a competency they select.  For instance, deepening our listening, or designing actions, etc.  These will all start from establishing a “coaching agreement” for the first 5- 10 minutes of their practice session.  Then, each coach will have 10 minutes to coach the client, with observer(s) collecting evidence of how the coach did in practicing their chosen skill area.  There will be a “time-out” of 10 minutes during the practice period for either the client, coach or observer(s) to spot the coach doing something well, ask for help, or simply make an observation. So 30 minutes total, then swap roles until all have completed.  Quads will have to work faster, but will get more learning!

8.30 to 9.00pm: 
Review, summarize, and commit, plus share any announcements.

Come get yourself ready for a set of fantastic evenings of exploring why coaching is the best way of leading and learning there is on the planet.

These workshops are highly interactive "live coaching" practice of all the ICF core competencies.  This offering is designed for seasoned coaches to keep their skills sharp through practicing their contracting, listening, partnering, questioning, designing actions, etc., and getting feedback from other coaches on how well they did on their chosen area of practice. Also designed for those new to coaching to see how they might incorporate the coach's toolkit in how they lead others.

Benefits:

• Live coaching practice and feedback on chosen core competencies
• Introduction to new material/models and tools used by other coaching training organizations approved by the ICF
• Increased understanding of how coaching applies to leadership in a variety of situations and groups of people
• Growth in confidence to use a coaching approach in our lives and in our work
• Exploration is becoming a credentialed coach is the right career path
• Mixing with other coaching professionals in the region to share best practice
• Feel the stretch and learn something new to practice each and every time!

"Bolder in Boulder" - an MCC led group to refine and deepen coaching skills

Dates: Fourth Thursday of each month

Time: 6:00 - 9:00pm MT

This six-month education group is designed to challenge and support seasoned coaches, as well as those new to the profession, or people using coaching skills in a leadership role or therapeutic practice.

Each session introduces a specific theme, and includes an expert coaching demonstration as well as peer coaching practice with structured feedback and reflection.

Development in the eleven ICF core coaching competencies is woven into every session. The monthly themes provide freshness and focus; each theme is a frame within which the core coaching competencies are practised, deepened and refined. Whether new to coaching or with several decades of experience, you will gain understanding of how the competencies differ between ACC, PCC and MCC level coaching, and be encouraged to set - and meet - learning goals for yourself every month.

Hosted and facilitated by Zora (Sara Boas, MCC) in Boulder, the group is a convivial and stimulating environment in which to learn and grow, sharing strengths and vulnerabilities through a focused and structured learning process.

Come with a willing heart and an open mind (and perhaps some healthy food to share); leave with fresh ideas, greater awareness of your own coaching strengths and style, and enhanced skills!

Each month has a different theme, presented by the group leader; 2018 themes include:

• Bold Presence, Fierce Patience: how to do less and be more in your coaching
• The Dance of Difference: trans-cultural competence and coaching for diversity
• Bodies in Dialog: embodiment, sensation, and movement observation in coaching
• The Arc of Coaching: opening and closing your sessions with clarity and grace
• Psychotherapy and Coaching: how clinical skills can support coaching excellence
• Coaching in the Wild: working with nature as a partner in your coaching conversations

Benefits

• Be challenged and stimulated to rethink your coaching approach
• Raise the bar on your coaching skills in all 11 core coaching competencies
• Practice specific skills in a supportive environment, with focused feedback
• Connect with and mobilize your own body, intuition, humor, and creativity
• Observe a Master Certified Coach in action during coaching demonstrations
• Know and trust your personal coaching strengths and style in greater depth
• Draw on, adapt and re-purpose skills you have learned in other professions
• Co-create a community of professional peers who share the coaching ethos
