COACH EDUCATION
Leader Coach® Certification (LCC) Program
The Foundation Leader Coach Workshop
This two-day experiential program introduces the principles and practices of the “Leader Coach” as the leadership framework for turbulent change. Coaching is a business imperative - it is the way leaders lead in rapidly changing environments. Participants explore how leadership has evolved to include not only a strategic market component, but also a requirement for personal growth as a prerequisite to effective leadership of others. Using a unique 3-stage model, participants learn how to apply leadership through coaching to achieve high performance. A skills assessment, case studies, exercises and role plays are used to focus and enrich learning.
Leader Coach Practicum Part I
Six Week Workplace Practice
The 6-week practice period allows participants to apply the learning from The Leader Coach Workshop through coaching with at least 2 members of their work team. Each participant will have a learning partner to support their development, and periodic peer group updates are scheduled.>
The Team Leader Coach Workshop
This two-day experiential program extends the principles and practices of the Leader Coach to working with whole teams, whether direct reports, committees or projects. Using the same 3-stage model, participants learn to capitalize on innovative ideas and to coach through the inevitable hurdles and conflicts of high performing teams. A team assessment, case studies, exercises and feedback are used to stimulate learning. Each participant leaves the program with a team development plan.
Leader Coach Practicum Part II
Six Week Workplace Practice
This 6-week practice period allows participants to apply the learning from The Team Leader Coach Workshop to the teams they lead or participate in. In addition, participants are expected to be coaching each of their own team members individually. Again, each participant will have a learning partner to support their development, and periodic peer group updates are scheduled.
The Leader Coach Culture Workshop
The final two days of the certification program brings all of the previous components together. Participants focus on integrating their learning and developing plans for building a broader Leader Coach culture in their organization.
A follow-up mini-assessment is used to evaluate progress. Participants will commit to next steps for themselves and their teams to create a coaching culture change within their organizational units. The seminar ends with reflections on the process and a “graduation” to celebrate completion.
