Coaching To Excellence

This coming June 21st, 22nd and 23rd, I will be offering a three-day coaching workshop here in Ottawa. Whereas Coaching To Excellence was previously a two day affair, the new three day format is much more complete and leaves participants with more capacities and confidence in applying coaching approaches in their every day relationships.

In this workshop participants are introduced to the principles and methods of James Flaherty’s New Ventures West successful approach to coaching and to human development (see www.newventureswest.com). The program allows for coaching experience that is applicable to the participants’ work place or current coaching practice, and their broader lives. Through structured exercises, demonstrations and simulations, we will explore together what it takes to evoke long-term excellence in others.

What Outcomes Will the Course Produce?

Developing excellence as a coach takes time, study and practice. Nonetheless, this three-day workshop will allow you to:

● Understand the key stages in any coaching relationship and the skills needed to guide clients through them;
● Recognize when someone is open to coaching and how to enroll them in a coaching relationship;
● Observe and listen to others in a profound way by paying attention, to their unique language, emotional mood, and way of interpreting the world;
● Assess your own competence as a coach and identify the next steps in your development;
● Open new possibilities for effective action in your work and in your life.

What Happens in the Course?
The course provides both conceptual frameworks and hands-on opportunities to put these frameworks into practice. After becoming familiar with New Ventures’ West unique methodology of Coaching, you will work individually with other participants in “trying on” the roles of coach and client. Then, through structured exercises, case studies and simulations, you will discover what is needed to intervene effectively in typical situations faced by coaches, managers and professionals each day. Finally, you will have the opportunity to work on a real- life “problem” situation from your life. You will learn to coach others in a way that results not only in resolving these problem, but also in them developing the competence to resolve it themselves in the future without your involvement.

Additional Benefit and Cost
This class satisfies the prerequisite for the Professional Coaching Course offered either in English or in French by New Ventures West and/or their associates, Convivium©. (www.convivium.com). The cost is $1200.00 plus taxes. Participants also receive a copy of the latest edition the James Flaherty’s book “Coaching To Excellence”.
