Facilitating Coaching Circles® – The Live Workshop
Description de l’Atelier en français
16 ICF-approved Continuing Coach Education units
*Prerequisite: Facilitating Coaching Circles Online Course
This two-day workshop provides a dynamic practice field to integrate and deepen your experience of the Facilitating Coaching Circles Online Course. You join colleagues in the review and application of the many concepts, strategies and tools described in the online course.
As a member of a real coaching circle, you work on your own project or challenge (being a client) and support others in their respective projects through collaborative inquiry and coaching. You also observe with discipline and rigor the facilitator’s role as well as experience this role yourself. In doing so, you get a felt sense of what it means to support the group from this vantage point and learn how to intervene effectively in typical situations faced by a coaching circle.
You also have the opportunity to explore during the workshop or during your follow-up call with the leader, how you might design your own offer or program for coaching circles with your clients or your organization.
Follow-up Coaching
Following the Live Workshop, get a free 1-hour individual follow-up coaching session with the course leader.
Over 400 people from all continents have participated in our 65+ Live Workshops.
