OTHER WORKSHOPS Why and how to build a sustainable employee wellness program NEW!! People Skills: Train-the-Trainer Program Managing Key Relationships - A 3-part program Understanding Behavior - The Key To Effective Relationships Time Mastery -- How To Manage Your Time More Effectively FUNDAMENTALS OF COACHING - An Overview September 18 through October 30, 2007 A Certificate Program in Professional Coaching Based on the rave reviews from participants in our inaugural presentation of this certificate program at the University of South Florida, we will be back at their St. Petersburg campus February 9 thru March 20, 2008! The demand for professional coaches is growing as more and more businesses and organizations recognize the value of coaching as a cost-effective employee development tool. With the added support of a coach, employees can increase their effectiveness, learn to be more creative, assume greater responsibilities, and grow professionally. At the management and executive level, coaches prove to be of great value to those individuals who have been through the standard leadership development programs and who want more personalized support to help them achieve their maximum potential. Individuals from all walks of life are discovering the value of working with a professional coach to provide assistance in developing and implementing their personal career plans, crafting their retirement strategies, and managing other life transitions. The Certificate Program in Professional Coaching is designed for HR professionals, supervisors, and managers, as well as anyone considering starting an independent professional coaching practice or anyone looking to strengthen an existing practice. This certificate program builds coaching skills through a series of courses, which are based on proven practices. TOPTHE COACHING PROCESS - FIVE ESSENTIAL SKILLS Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Saturday February 9, 2008
This course will introduce participants to the concepts and purposes of coaching and the essential skills required of the professional coach. Coaching is a process of support that enables people to identify their strengths, acknowledge their weaknesses, and pursue strategies to maximize their gifts and achieve their goals. Within an organization, the goal of coaching is to help an individual improve performance through greater confidence and competence. Outside of the organization, a broader category called "life coaching" provides individuals with new options and strategies to identify and follow a more productive path toward achieving their personal goals. Participants will learn that coaching is not training or counseling and how it differs from consulting and mentoring. Participants in this workshop will evaluate their own level of confidence and competence in each of the following five skill areas and will understand that coaching is a process that requires the capacity to:

Saturday, February 23,2008
Participants in this course will put together the tools and techniques from the first two sessions and, in triads, will partner to role-play an initial coaching session and receive feedback on their performance. Following the role-play, they will spend some time reflecting to define their plan for next steps with this "client." They will present an overview of their "client's" coaching goals and their next-steps plan for critique and feedback from the rest of the class. As we review the range of coaching possibilities and prospects, participants will evaluate their own areas of competency and confidence to identify their coaching niche. We will explore how to build, promote, and manage a coaching practice-whether it is internal or independent. TOPOctober 5 through October 30, 2007
March 3 through March 20, 2008
To truly understand the coaching process, participants will go through a 1-on-1 coaching experience with master coach Barbara Wilson. Students will schedule three individual sessions followed by a 4-hour group closing session. Simultaneously during this program, participants may contract with a coaching client of their own. They will report their progress to their master coach to receive feedback and support on their coaching intervention. Prerequisite is the completion of the 3-course core curriculum (Coaching Process, Coach's Toolkit, and Your Coaching Practice) for the Certificate in Professional Coaching. TOPALTERING ATTITUDES, INFLUENCING ACTIONS Thursday, October 18, 2007
Saturday March 1, 2008
An important priority in coaching is to help people identify counterproductive attitudes that hinder their success. In this workshop, we will explore how people's behavior styles influence their beliefs, and in turn, how beliefs drive behavior. With a step-by-step process, coaches can help people to break through the trap of limiting beliefs about themselves and the resulting behaviors that keep them from achieving their goals. Participants will learn to identify common stress reaction behaviors, to reframe defensive responses, and to provide guidance in identifying more productive behaviors in order to achieve desired results.

Drawing upon the experience and success of organizations around the country, this workshop provides the foundation from which to build a sustainable wellness initiative in your organization. No matter what size your company may be, you will learn the seven critical components necessary for building a cost-effective, results-oriented, and sustainable workplace health promotion program. We will introduce you to a four-stage model designed to ensure your approach to employee wellness is comprehensive, compelling, relevant, and sustainable. This one-day program will enhance your understanding of the tangible and intangible costs of an unhealthy workplace and why employee health and well-being is so critical to productivity. At the conclusion of this program, you will be armed with sufficient data, resources, and understanding to not only make a cogent business case for instituting a wellness initiative in your workplace, but also a strategy for getting it off the ground.
