Breaking Free of Self Imposed Barriers: Implementing Organizational Change Through More Effective Leadership Skills

Based on the three International Coach Federation competencies used to develop professional coaches - Presence, Powerful Questioning, and Direct Communication - this session is designed to help those who lead others distinguish between Power and Influence as they embrace coaching as a leadership style. Each competency will be explored through interactive exercises to help increase participants’ understanding and personal effectiveness. Participants will gain an understanding of how to:

• Build trust by developing their own inspiring presence through increasing self-awareness, identifying what behaviors/experiences trigger less than effective reactions, and how to self-manage for better outcomes.
• Empower others by staying curious through the art of asking questions that move the other toward their own solution.
• Support an adult-to-adult relationship through direct communication where communicating directly provides the greatest benefit to the situation.
