Southwest FL ASTD Monthly Meeting
August 17, 2011
Coaching
Coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organizations develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results:
- improving others’ ability to set goals,
- take action,
- make better decisions,
- and make full use of their natural strengths.
This session will address the role of a coach, reasons for engaging an executive coach, how executive coaching works and why it works with adult learners. You will hear how coaching differs from mentoring, counseling, consulting, training and psychotherapy. Coaching has many variables, and this session will address what key coaching skills you need in order to be successful.
We will discuss techniques of executive coaching and the competencies that should be present in every coaching session. Coaching focuses on identifying current goals with an emphasis on action, accountability, and follow-through, ultimately taking performance to a new level. Expect some class interaction and exercises!
The follow-up workshop session the next week will be a further chance to practice coaching and get feedback from peers and leader.
On our ongoing journey to offer sessions based on the ASTD’s Areas of Expertise, please join: Cynthia K. Hodge, Ph.D., for an enlightening session discussing the key ingredients for successful coaching!

Cynthia K. Hodge, Ph.D.
Cindy moved to Naples and joined the Southwest Florida chapter of ASTD in 2010 after many years in Washington, D.C. and the New Jersey and New York area. Moving back to Florida was something she had wanted to do since she left Tallahassee in 1980 after receiving her Ph.D. at F.S.U. and connecting with colleagues in the field of performance improvement with whom she has maintained lifelong friendships.
Before F.S.U. she was an elementary teacher in grades 1, 2, and 5. She entered the field of adult education at Bell Labs, after receiving her Ph.D. in Instructional Systems Design, as an Instructional Technology Consultant for the development of their continuing education program for technical staff engineers. During her 19-year career at Bell Labs and AT&T she served as an internal consultant and program development manager for numerous technical training departments, field support divisions, and corporate HR. After leaving AT&T she developed training programs for Goodwill and United Way of America as an outside consultant and also served as Director of Learning for United Way of America in 2006.
After returning to school at Marymount University for a graduate certificate in Organization Development in 2007, she began to apply her past experience and knowledge about adult learning to the field of executive coaching. She has served dozens of clients as an independent coach since 2007 and found great satisfaction in the profound difference one-on-one coaching has made in the realization of their career development aspirations.
