The workshop will be held September 19 - 20, 2013, at Peer Assistance, in Denver, CO. The seminar will be held from 7:30 am – 4:15 pm each day. Participants are expected to attend both days of the workshop. Breakfast, lunch and snack will be provided each day.
What will I learn in this course?
You will learn about coaching as a leadership skill in this 2-day Introduction to Coaching Workshop for managers and executives supporting Leaders from the CHC Leadership workshop. Coaches will receive an overview of the leadership workshop, learn the difference between supervising and coaching, while also strengthening leadership skills in conflict resolution, active listening, creating a culture of inquiry and more. The aim of the coaching relationship is to ensure and support each leader's development of new leadership skills in the work environment and while completing the capstone project.
Past participants have found this coaching experience to be an invaluable addition to their own leadership skills. Within this interactive workshop, expert faculty will present a wide variety of topics and role-plays of how to be effective coaches for the leaders and ultimately for their entire organization. These teachings are reinforced and practiced after the workshop through structured monthly teleconference sessions called "Coffee Conversations". Here you are able to work through thought provoking concepts that build on workshop concepts.
Both leaders and coaches will benefit from a robust experiential learning program through a six-month transformational learning process.
What will be expected of me following this workshop?
Coaches will meet weekly with their leaders for 30 minutes, or one hour every other week, in person or by phone, for approximately 6 months. This needs to be set up by the leader. Ongoing support for coaches will also be provided by the Center’s coaching staff through the above mentioned, one hour-long, monthly "Coffee Conversations" via teleconference. Coaching support is also available individually as needed.
What will I need to do to prepare for this workshop?
Upon registration, a short book and homework will be mailed to you. We ask that you read the book and complete the homework prior to starting the workshop.
Determine the leadership participant you will coach and who will attend the Leadership workshop (Sept. 24-27). You cannot coach you direct staff member, but can be someone else in your organization. He or she should be in a supervisory position that is someone you are comforatbale talking openly with.
Attendance
Participants must be present for all hours of the two-day workshop. For a “no-show” or if a participant misses more than 4 hours, they will not be allowed to continue in the course. There will be no partial make-up arrangements made.
