THE COACH

Date:September 11, 2008, 9:00AM to 4:30PM

Optional second day:September 12, 2008, 9:00AM to Noon

Location:
The Haymarket Hotel
1 Suffolk Place
London SW1
020 7470 4000

Because of the tremendous success of The Strategist which was sold out and is now scheduled for London and Melbourne, and because of continuing demand for the subject, I am scheduling The Coach for September 11-12, 2008 in London, England.

This is a one-day workshop with an optional second morning. It is designed to provide pragmatic, immediately-applicable coaching skills and dynamic marketing and fee guidance.

Specifically, you will learn on the first day:

  • What coaching really is, minus the hype and "universities."
  • Why you do not need "certification." (Who certifies the certifiers?)
  • The key steps to engagement and developing behavioral objectives.
  • How to provide feedback.
  • How to help modify behavior.
  • The differences among behaviors, skills, and experiences.
  • Working with the client-subject, and the non-client-subject.
  • Effective methodologies for rapid client improvement.
  • Ineffective methodologies to avoid or beware of. (Watch your labels.)
  • How to disengage.
  • How to create a brand and positioning.
  • The relationship of consulting and coaching.
  • Best practices for fees and expanding business.

And you will observe and comment on (and participate in if you volunteer) real-time "hot seat" coaching:

  • People seeking improved careers.
  • People seeking changed behavior.
  • People needing to exert more influence.
  • People who may need therapeutic intervention.
  • People with aberrant behavior problems.
  • People requiring organization and time management improvement.
  • And some surprises.

(We're going to use an actor for some of these!!)

In the optional second morning:

  • Practice, application, and feedback in small groups with case studies.
  • Role-plays in small groups.
  • Demonstrations of tough coaching challenges from the main stage.
  • Adding coaching as a key element in existing practices.
  • Building coaching as a sole practice with diverse options.

We have limited seating and both Best Practices and The Strategist sold out in this location. I don't plan to present this again any time soon within the U.S. because I don't like to do repetitive workshops unless they are overseas.

There will be two CDs and a concise manual provided, along with brief preparation work and a copy of all visuals used.

The Outcome

I believe you will emerge as a more effective coach for both individuals and teams; be better positioned in the marketplace to attract coaching business; have options to provide clients; and establish fees which reflect the true value of your ability to enhance others' personal and professional lives. And you will have confidence that you ARE an outstanding coach because YOU know the value you provide!

That's not bad for a day or so.

Fees:

  • $1,350 for day one. $1,750 for day one and day two.
  • Mentor Members: $950 for day one. $1,250 for day one and two.
  • SAC Members: $1,100 for day one. $1,450 for day one and day two.
NOTE: Because of demand and logistics, fees paid for The Coach are non-refundable for any reason with the exception of the program not being delivered. However, you may apply tuition paid for the program toward any of my future workshops on any subject within two years of the program delivery date.

 

"Thank you for the tremendous over-delivery at The Strategist. The 1.5 day format is PERFECT and I hope you do more of them. As a newer practitioner, it was an acute learning experience to be with the seasoned professionals in the community you have built and fostered."
