TOPICS & COURSE CONTENT

This course includes content that build on one another and can be used interchangeably.

  • Change Cycle
    The Change CycleTM model is a map that depicts our human experience of each stage of change – all changes, big or small. We know, when confronted with change, everyone goes from stage to stage. The goal of this class is to help people at all levels to take responsibility for how they react and respond to a changing work environment by giving tools of self-awareness and skills to understand options, make decisions, and take action.
  • Inside-Out Coaching – Powered by the GROW Model
    More Leaders Coaching, More Often, For More Impact Coaching is no longer considered a competency of a good leader; it is a leader’s primary job. InsideOut Coaching is a manager-as-coach program that empowers leaders to dramatically improve their day-to-day coaching conversations. As a result,  leaders become more effective at driving engagement and accountability, and applying coaching to drive business results.
