For Coaches, the conversation in many cases IS the relationship.

It is our contention that coaching is about the relationship, period. So how can we say that?
We as coaches have these client-conversations. it is what we do. We have ONE conversation at a time and these then build into a whole SERIES of conversations that can produce significant, meaningful and sustainable changes for our clients.

It is also our observation that our lives tend to succeed — or fail — one conversation at a time. This includes our most important SELF-conversations as well – the type that may take the most courage of all.

Join us in taking the ICF Core Competencies, eight of the eleven, as we go into detail with you to create a rewarding and expanded exploration of what makes a conversation really count and truly make differences.

Handouts include:

• Sherry Lowry’s Seven Principles of Courageous Conversations with Descriptors
• Christine Martin’s Updated Fearless Definitions as They Apply to Coaching
• An agenda for each session — with reminders

What’s In It For You?

d. New opportunity to stop solving the same challenges over and over — and gain competence in removing for REAL obstacles

e. More fully clarify what you already DO know; gain greater confidence in your already good instincts to tap much sooner
