What our UK members say:

'Professional standards are vital to the standing and credibility of Coaching as an emerging profession. The ICF is the only independent professional body with a track record of accrediting coaches to these rigorous standards and at a variety of levels. So I am proud to be designated a Master Coach by the ICF and consider it my responsibility to myself and my clients ( national and international, corporate and personal) to ensure that I continue to operate at that level......luckily the ICF makes sure I do that!'

ESTABLISHING THE COACHING AGREEMENT:
Using the Creator Orientation to Forge Powerful Partnerships with Artful Dodgers

This is a teleseries
with Molly Gordon, MCC
on Monday 25th February 2008 at 8pm UK time


Some clients are Artful Dodgers, quick to rationalise, defend, or deny the issues that they most need to face. In corporate coaching, this can happen when a manager or business owner sets objectives for the coaching that the employee-client has not fully embraced. Sometimes it can happen even in live coaching when the client seems unable to articulate and acknowledge their part in not getting what they want.
In these situations, the way we hold the coaching agreement can have profound effects on the quality of our work. Through the lens of The Empowerment Dynamic (TED), a model developed by David Emerald, a coach and leadership development expert, you will discover how to use this competency not only at the beginning of an engagement but throughout the coaching process to forge a powerful partnership with even resistant clients.

Overview of the Session
    Part 1: Definition of coaching agreement - overview and brief perspective on the competency
    Part 2: The creator orientation - what is it and what can it do
    Part 3: Leveraging the agreement: "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." Archimedes
There will be an opportunity for Q&A throughout the session.
