Radical new workshop programs to improve the leadership style and performance of entrepreneurs, managers, and parents

Coaching is about supporting others in realising their true potential. It is also about making progress in situations that seem to be stuck, and about improving communication.

These new programs address the essence of becoming a natural coach and an inspiring leader.

Invisible Coaching® and Inspiring Leadership

Invisible Coaching® and Inspiring Leadership are two new programs that take a brand new approach to developing leaders.

They each comprise three one-day workshops; they are available in one, two or three day modules, or as an intensive five day program. They are interactive, with plenty of opportunities for participants to learn by coaching each other.

Coaching and leadership are both behaviours, and behaviours can be taught. But what distinguishes a successful coach or leader comes from within. It is their beliefs, their values, and their emotional baggage that ultimately affect their success.

Invisible Coaching® and Inspiring Leadership address these three key issues, as well as introducing simple, but powerful, processes.

Coaching on a Credit Card®

Coaching on a credit card® is based around the question "What would be the most useful question for me to ask you now?" When the client tells you, then you ask it. As simple as that! It is very powerful and teaches the important lesson that it is the client, not the coach, who knows what is needed. The coach just provides the structure.

Coaching on a credit card® is one of the simple processes that support Invisible Coaching® and Inspiring Leadership.

Invisible Coaching®

Invisible Coaching® gives access to simple but powerful coaching and self coaching skills that lead to more effectiveness both at work and at home.

The softer, more interactive style, adopted by people with basic coaching skills improves communication, clarifies goals and enables individuals to learn to learn for themselves, thus empowering them to be more flexible and enabling them to take more personal responsibility.

Who should attend?

These workshops are suitable for any individual with responsibility for the performance of others. In particular, they are designed for: -

• Managers in organisations
• People who lead teams
• People involved with sales, purchasing or negotiation
• Human resources managers
• Parents with young children or teenagers
• People facing redundancy or contemplating a new career

Workshop One – Coaching on an Credit Card®

Coaching on an Credit Card® is a free-standing workshop that explores the fundamentals of coaching using a simple and powerful six step process that can be carried in a wallet or purse.

Workshop Two – Sailing the Seven Seas™

Sailing the Seven Seas™ puts the skills of an effective coach into the context of a simple coaching model that introduces the seven supporting principles behind effective coaching.

Workshop Three – The ThreeTicks™ Coaching Model

This workshop focuses on rapport building skills and introduces a comprehensive model of coaching, involving beliefs, models and techniques that are particularly powerful in terms of improving communication and achieving individual and corporate change.

Outcome

At the end of the three coaching workshops, participants will have a deep understanding and appreciation of the power and application of coaching, together with a set of inter-personal skills that can add tremendous value in their professional and personal lives.

They will always know just the right questions to help someone, and will notice that life gets easier, as they become more effective with less stress.

Inspiring Leadership

The Inspiring Leadership program is designed to help individuals gain a deeper insight into their personality, natural talent and communication style.

It provides a structure for creating or refining a formal vision, mission and values proposition that will generate charisma and form the foundation for future behaviour and choices.

Understanding self then leads to understanding others and how to interact with them.

Inspiring Leadership is designed to follow and complement the Invisible Coaching workshops but can also form a free standing program in its own right.

In addition, participants are challenged to take back their power and commit to raising their game to transform themselves, others and society.

Who should attend?

These workshops are suitable for any individual with responsibility for the performance of others. In particular, they are designed for: -

• Entrepreneurs, chief executives and other senior executives
• Managers in organisations who lead teams
• High potential executives (high fliers)
• Parents with young children or teenagers

Workshop Four – Understanding Self

This workshop starts with an introduction to the mind, the aspects of the inner context in which we all operate, and ends with creating a comprehensive personal mission statement that can be used as the benchmark for future decisions and achievements.

Workshop Five – Interacting with Others

In this workshop we introduce personality types and explore the various environments in which participants operate. We show them how to design a strategy for building more positive support networks and leveraging talents through collaboration.

Workshop Six – The Process of Change

In this final workshop participants learn about change; both how to move themselves towards their chosen goals and full potential, and how to inspire others and lead high performing teams. They create, an action plan in which they commit to taking back their power and raising their game to transform themselves and others, and leave a worthwhile legacy.

Outcome

At the end of the program, participants will have a deep understanding of themselves, what they want in life and how to influence and inspire others. They will be seen to act consistently and authentically, and with purpose.

On completion of both the Invisible Coaching and Inspiring Leadership programs, each individual will have addressed their beliefs, their values, and their emotional baggage. They will have acquired a high level of self knowledge and will have resolved personal issues and 'hot buttons' that could interfere in relationships and undermine their competence as either coach or leader.

If they so choose, graduates of these programs will now be ready to progress towards a career as a professional coach.

The ASEC Coach Certification Program

The four module ASEC Coach Certification Program, over a period of 18 months or more, is designed to prepare candidates for a career as a successful executive coach to senior executives and for a professional qualification with the International Association of Coaching.

The four modules are: Practitioner Coach, Personal Coach, Corporate Coach and Professional Coach.

The curriculum combines instruction, e-learning, self study and live coaching exercises. Certification requires completion of workplace exercises. The teaching methodology is comfortably designed with the option of classes held over weekends to facilitate easy access for office-goers.

From time to time additional specialist workshops will be arranged for existing coaches and trainees to supplement their core coaching skills.
