This course will cover the key ideas and skill sets necessary for ‘top level’ coaches. There are many different levels of interaction when coaching with business clients of any level, but the demands for high-level skills are acute the higher or more sophisticated the business client becomes.
The demands placed on the coach with ‘top-level’ clients require skills and techniques that are not common in the field. The tool or models we use to diagnose the client needs must be quick and accurate. The goals that the client requests must fit in nicely with the goals the coach knows must also be accomplished if the client’s goals are to be met.
During this seminar we will identify and discuss several quality evaluation models coaches can use to identify what the present situation is for the client and what specific changes the client will need to make, both internally and externally, during the duration of the coaching experience.
Several specific skill sets will be discussed and practiced during exercises designed to give concrete experience to the participants of the power and use of these tools.
Often the most important changes or learnings that the client needs to accomplish are outside the area of agreed topics or outside the area of ‘permission to discuss’. We will discuss these situations and identify several strategies and/or skill sets that will allow you to talk about a subject and work at an entirely different level at the same time.
