Michael Bungay Stanier - Easy Change vs Hard Change

Michael Bungay Stanier

Easy Change vs Hard Change

Tuesday, May 26th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

 

Description:

 

As coaches, we’re in the business of behavior change. And, wow, it’s really difficult. We are all, literally, creatures of habit. Our role in helping our clients have the courage and discipline to change the way they act is significant and tricky. 

 

You undoubtedly know about the power of habit building (and if not, you should). But we’ve all had the experience of trying to build good habits … and for all our best intent, having them nonetheless wither on the vine. 

 

The step before habit building is understanding the difference between Easy Change and Hard Change. Until you do that, you and your clients will perpetually struggle to make the changes that matter most.


Three Key Learning Takeaways:


  1. The difference between Easy Change and Hard Change … and why it matters.
  2. Why the direct approach to Hard Change rarely works.
  3. The foundational coaching question that lies at the heart of Hard Change.

 

Conversation Starters


  1. What was most surprising for you about Hard Change?
  2. Where have you wrestled with Hard Change in your own life?

Marcia Reynolds - Coaching Widespread Fear: Using Non-Reactive Empathy To Uplift Perspective

Marcia Reynolds

Coaching Widespread Fear: Using Non-Reactive Empathy To Uplift Perspective

Tuesday, May 26th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

 

Description:

 

Just as we think we are used to living in a volatile and uncertain world, new events occur that darken our future. This session was created for Chinese coaching students when tens of thousands of cases of the Coronavirus were reported in mainland China and thousands of more cases were being confirmed worldwide. Stock markets were falling, people were attacking each other on the streets, and those quarantined by order or by choice were losing hope. Coaching focuses on the stories people are telling to determine what is getting in the way of what they want. There is truth to the stories that scare them, and then there is the rest of the story that can provide a different focus that is more helpful than fixating on worst-case scenarios. In order to shift perspective and reshape our clients’ stories, coaches must be prepared to deal with strong emotions – from their clients, as well as their own. This session will look at how the coach can develop non-reactive empathy so they don’t fall into sympathy or giving advice. With courage and patience, the coach can prod and even challenge clients to go beyond waiting to live to living each day with strength and grace. 

 

Three Key-Learning Takeaways:

 

  1. Determine how to embrace the truth of a terrible situation while still coaching someone to grasp a more hopeful perspective.
  2.  Learn how to compassionately detach from your client’s story so you can both care about and challenge their thinking
  3. Differentiate sympathy from empathy and practice methods to coach with non-reactive empathy

Gretchen Rubin - Understand Yourself (and Others) with the ‘Four Tendencies’ Personality Framework

Gretchen Rubin

Understand Yourself (and Others) with the ‘Four Tendencies’ Personality Framework

Tuesday, May 26th, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

 

Description:

 

During my time spent researching and learning about human nature, I discovered that we can gain explosive levels of self-knowledge by asking a very simple question: “How do I respond to expectations?”

 

This led me to discover that people typically fit into one of Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels.

 

During this session, you will learn:

 

How your Tendency shapes every aspect of your behavior, and how understanding it can help you with things like making better decisions, meeting your deadlines, suffer less from stress and burnout, and also how to engage more effectively.

 

You will learn how to identify, not only your own Tendency but that of your clients, in order to help them apply this framework in their own lives for greater results.

 

We will also look at how to use the Four Tendencies to become happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative.

 

Three Key Learning Takeaways: 

  1. Learn your own tendency 
  2. How to use that knowledge to make your life happier, more productive and more creative 
  3. How to use the Four Tendencies to work more efficiently and harmoniously with others

 

Conversation Starters:

 

  1. Now that you know your tendency, what light does that shed on your previous experiences?
  2. Can you think of an example where understanding someone else’s tendency gives you new insight into a situation that was causing frustration?
  3. How might the different strengths and limitations of each Tendency interact with each other.

David Peterson & Jeremy Hunter - Awareness in Action: Preparing Yourself -- and Your Clients! -- for a Better Future - Part 1

David Peterson & Jeremy Hunter

Awareness in Action: Preparing Yourself — and Your Clients! — for a Better Future – Part 1

Wednesday, May 27th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

The most effective leaders — and their executive coaches — consider more than just what’s happening now. They also project into the future to anticipate how actions ripple through space, across ever-expanding scales of self, team, organization, and outward through the wider ecosystem. They think and act strategically to make decisions that pay off in the long-run. 

To do this well, a high level of self-awareness and personal insight is essential. Like an instrument that can be ever more finely tuned, self-awareness must be cultivated if the leader hopes to be agile and effective. Without it, a leader’s capacity to accurately assess themselves, the situation, and their options for action is suboptimal. 

In this session, coaches will examine a series of practical frameworks that will help them and the leaders they coach, be more effective across scales of space (self, team, organization, community, ecosystem) and time (today, the next 3 months, the next 3 years, and beyond).

A key component of this work includes gaining a deeper understanding of how the human nervous system works, and how it affects your ability to perceive options and take action. 

Your guides have decades of experience assisting hundreds of leaders to take effective action in increasingly disruptive contexts. Join us for a fun, stimulating, provocative and practical exploration at the leading edge of what leaders need today.  

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Three techniques to increase mindfulness and self-awareness in the moment, leading to more effective choices and actions.
  1. Identify different emotional zones, based on neuroscience, and how they shut down self-awareness and restrict effective decision-making, and three techniques to shift to wise, informed decisions and actions.
  1. Different approaches to help leaders stay in a high-performance learning zone without being overly stressed.  
David Burkus - How Great Teams Find A Purpose Worth Rallying Around

David Burkus

How Great Teams Find A Purpose Worth Rallying Around

Wednesday, May 27th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

Why are some people and teams more motivated, more innovative, and more successful than others? Why do some teams of talented and seemingly compatible people fall short against lesser teams with less suitable members? More often than not, great teams become great when they tap into something more inspiring—and more visceral—than casting a visionary strategy or struggling to get buy-in on a mission statement. 

They know what they’re fighting for. They’re fighting to make a change in their industry. They’re fighting to remove an injustice. They’re fighting to make their customer’s lives better. Sometimes, they’re even just fighting to survive. But, surprisingly, they’re rarely framing their fight as a battle for market share against the competition. 

People don’t want to join a company; they want to join a crusade. In this persuasive and provocative keynote, David Burkus, argues that what a team is fighting for is a powerful and potent driver of performance and collaboration, but not just any fight will do. Drawing on decades of social science research and real-life examples from billion-dollar companies, French pirates, Olympic champion curling teams (you read that right), and more, Burkus weaves together a clear picture of how people are inspired, how movements are led, and how organizations win. Audience members will leave with a clear and concise way to frame what purpose they’re fighting for and the tools to communicate that purpose to their team.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. How to distinguish between bland purpose and one worth fighting for
  2. The three distinct types of “fights” to build a purpose around
  3. How to build purpose into your company or team culture

Conversation Starters:

  1. How does the idea of defining purpose as a “fight” for some good outcome resonate with you?
  2. How can we help leaders and teams see their purpose in one of these three types?
  3. What stories or artifacts can we point to as evidence of “the fight”?
Ruth Wageman - 6 Conditions: The Fundamentals of Great Team Design

Ruth Wageman

6 Conditions: The Fundamentals of Great Team Design

Wednesday, May 27th, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

There is a bewildering array of models, variables, frameworks, and advice out there about how to have a great team. What does the best science say, and how can you bring it to life in practice? 

I introduce the idea of conditions thinking as a way of approaching team coaching and introduce the 6 Conditions framework that comes from our many decades of research on teams. We will explore: What are the handful of conditions, when we get them in place, that together set up a team to develop great teamwork practices and evolve into a superb performing unit? We’ll talk about how the science of teams as complex systems—and of conditions thinking—has so much power to guide our practice toward real impact. 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. The science of team effectiveness can guide artful team coaching practice.
  2. There are 6 conditions—designable features of teams—that together account for 80% of the variance in team effectiveness.
  3. Great team coaches help teams and leaders see themselves as designers who get the conditions in place for their own teams and keep them in place over time.

Conversation Starters:

  1. Many professionals have spent years making team conflict their main point of entry and intervention in trying to help teams. And many have expressed frustration at how often they see teams, after much careful process consultation and dialogue, return to entrenched patterns of conflict. Why do you think that happens?
  2. In our research, we found that less than a quarter of senior leadership teams were outstanding teams. Where would you start in helping a leadership team become an effective team?

André Vermeulen - Neuro-Agility: A Construct to Future Proof Your Career

André Vermeulen 

Neuro-Agility: A Construct to Future Proof Your Career

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

The age of disruption calls for companies to plan for positions that don’t exist now and recruit and develop talent that will be agile and competent enough to fill those positions. This calls for sourcing and developing agile people who can fill those positions because they have the ability to learn, unlearn, relearn and multi-skill fast and easy in new, first time situations. 

Before people can be agile at learning, thinking, emotions, leadership and how they perform in teams, they need to optimize the drivers that impact the ease and speed with which they learn, think and process information and integrate the neurophysiological elements which determine their neurological design and impact their mental flexibility. 

Being able to optimize these brain-based elements will enable people to be neuro agile, which is the starting point for developing agile people. During this session, Dr. André Vermeulen will explore how the construct of neuro-agility helps professionals to develop talent, improve their performance and reduce their risk for human error.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Learn a framework to become neuro agile
  2. Identify 7 neurophysiological 7 components of people’s neurological design

Ginette Gagnon

Wildly Credible: Training the brain to build sustainable trust

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

The ability to build and sustain trust is critical for business leaders today. However, connecting with people and engaging in lasting relationships can be quite difficult, given the complexity and competitiveness of our work environments. Research and empirical data demonstrate that top leaders rely not only on their rational thinking process but also on their instinct – their intuitions – to achieve extraordinary results. They observe their intuitions in the light of reason and take appropriate action, in a fraction of a second, zooming in the most impactful verbal and nonverbal cues to connect and engage with others. Executive and business coaches today need to harness this innate ability to think both rationally and intuitively to support their clients in developing their capacity to inspire sustainable trust. This session is based on my book, published in French in 2017. It leverages the wisdom of top leaders of various industries interviewed as part of my research (M. Sc. thesis on Influence (2017)), management literature, as well as several years of experience as an executive leader and executive coach. 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. How navigating between intuition and reason is critical to build trust 
  2. How to train the brain to become the impartial observer of intuitions 
  3. Strategies to connect with others and build trust, leveraging both intuition and reason 

Conversation Starters:

  1. How intuitive are you?
  2. What role does intuition play in your decisions?
  3. What role does intuition play in your coaching practice?

Marita Fridjhon

The Relationship System as Oracle: Finding Answers for Yourself and Your Clients

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

From Pythia of Delphi, a priestess who delivered predictions from her shrine to ancient Islamic Geomancers reading sand patterns to understand the universe, every culture has its own oracles. All were consulted because they were believed to hold the answers. It is part of human nature to seek answers, and as a coach, your clients have found their way to you in a similar quest. 

The range of experiences you or any individual would need to have lived, in order to have all the answers yourself, is simply impossible! A mother with cancer. A father who is a workaholic. A young girl who doesn’t feel she was born into the right body. A team who loses its leader. A company weathering an economic crisis. Nobody has the breadth or depth of experience to hold all these answers. But what if there was another source with a different wisdom, and you held the keys to it? 

Join us as we explore how to access any system’s unique 3rd Entity, and how to seek answers from that system itself, for ourselves, and for our clients. The knowledge, creativity, and intelligence inherent in any particular system, is beyond to sum total of that of the individual players. What is possible when you can access that? Every tool and skill trained by CRR Global in Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) is aimed at uncovering that intelligence!

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Every system has its own unique identity. You will discover how to “hear, see “and “sense” the system 
  2. All systems are in a constant state of emergence; dare to create from it rather than react to it!
  3. A taste of the experience of ORSC and how it works and the training that gives coaches and consultants and leaders access to this work

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

We have been testing our coaching skills to the limit while working with clients experiencing tremendous pressure in a chaotic environment along the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath.

What you will learn: 

How can we co-create solid value with and for our clients when they are spinning within a maelstrom of raw fears, impossible dilemmas, explosive emotions and cognitive overwhelm?

How a coach, also subject to much anxiety, has to be and what a coach has to do in a session, in order to restore some sanity and create forward movement for the client amid chaos.

In my pre-summit webinar, I will offer crisis-tested tips, do’s and don’ts I learned from hundreds of conversations with clients experiencing tremendous pressure in an unprecedented crisis. 

I will particularly delve into how we can in practice: 

  • Ground and center an overwhelmed client at the start of a session with great, yet simple, practices 
  • Attend effectively to our clients’ needs, fears, emotions and energy in order to restore mind-sanity 
  • Identify and activate what will most help the client to steer away from overwhelm in chaos and then create enduring value for themselves 
  • Ignite hope and nurture resilience as we conclude a session

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Great, yet simple, practices to ground and center an overwhelmed client at the start of a coaching session
  2. How a coach has to ‘be’ in order to restore some sanity and catalyze forward movement in a session with an overwhelmed client
  3. Crisis-tested tips to co-create enduring value with clients experiencing tremendous pressure in a chaotic environment

Conversation Starters:

  1. What coaching techniques have you found of great value as you have coached clients through the Covid-19 pandemic or another significant crisis?
  2. When you think of your current client roster, which tips shared by Jean-Francois do you wish to implement right away with one or some of them? What positive impact do you expect those tips to have? 
  3. Which ones of your current concerns about coaching your overwhelmed clients have not been addressed by Jean-Francois? (then the facilitator may ignite group-think in order to find ideas to overcome those concerns)

Why A Quadrant Graph May Be The Only Coaching Tool You Need

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

We’ve all seen quadrant graphs…and you’ve probably accepted the challenge of keeping things moving “up and to the right!” This simple tool maps two potentially diverging ideas into a cohesive whole. In 30 minutes or less, you’ll recognize the power of plotting concepts that seem unrelated and be able to leverage the power of the hidden connections. 

Your coaching will never be the same. During this session, we’ll explore whether someone is coachable, observe the conditions that strengthen a coach’s questioning and identify the boundaries that keep coaches focused on helping clients make maximum progress with optimal growth. And we’ll accomplish all these insights using a simple visual graph. You’ll develop a repeatable strategy that will open new possibilities in your coaching!

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Discover a simple-to-use framework to assess the coachability of any potential client AND what to do  with four common coaching situations.
  2. Use your ability to focus simultaneously on two key client factors to ask the best possible coaching questions every time!
  3. Learn to offer insight to your clients in a strong, coach-like manner and NEVER take over the agenda!

Conversation Starters:

  1. How do you know when someone is coachable?
  2. How do you know when you’ve asked an earth-shaking question? What do you do to make sure you hit that mark as often as possible?
  3. What do you do when a client asks you to offer some advice or insight from your experience?

Madeleine Homan Blanchard

Leadership Point of View: A Coach Approach to Radical Transparency and Authenticity

Friday, June 5th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

To be successful, a coach must be a role model for growth, development and fully conscious leadership practices. Having a fully articulated Leadership Point of View© will provide you with a deep core strength and help you to attract the clients you will do your best work with. 

Sharing your LPoV® with your clients will:

  • Help you to cut to the chase and skip the “relationship building” that so many coaches spend entirely too much time on. 
  • Ensure that the partnership is built on shared values. • Guarantee deepest alignment on approaches, actions and outcomes. 
  • Allow them to bring their true, most authentic selves to the coaching work. 
  • Be encouraged to articulate their own LPoV®, which will help them to be the powerful leaders they want to be.
  • Achieve the radical shifts and inspired transformation they are looking for. 

Your LPoV® encompasses your vision for your coaching work, and your attitudes and beliefs about coaching. It explicitly states the standards you hold yourself to and what you expect of your clients. Finally, it will serve as your road map for how you will behave when a client is in crisis or when the coaching relationship is at risk. 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Learn a step by step method to create your own Leadership Point of View. 
  2. Gain a deeper knowledge of who you are and how you impact others.
  3. Never second guess how you are “showing up” again. Know exactly and unequivocally what you bring to the table as a coach.
Moira Halliday - The AoEC Story

Moira Halliday

The AoEC Story

Monday, June 8th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

One fundamental question underpinning the AoEC programmes is ”Who Am I?” with each programme providing different learning environments in which to explore the question. In this webinar I will apply the question to the organisation itself – ”Who Are We?” – including the AoEC values, the philosophy of our style of training executive coaches and the aspects of coaching we hold most dear. 

What makes the ”Who Am I?”question so important is a deep held belief in the uniqueness of ourselves as coaches in combination with the uniqueness of our clients or coaches. 

The bringing together of coach and coachee has the potential to create an amazing space in which the coach can support the client to do their essential work, unlock the true potential and grow. and the coachee.  

In this session we will be taking a look at why all coaching should always be encompassed with a psychological safety net and what can happen if there are holes in that net. There is a vast array of coaching models in existence and this continues to grow. 

See how we respond to this evolution at the same time as putting the coach at the forefront of what we do. Finally, it would not be right to ignore what has affected every one of us in the world over recent months and the ways that we have all had to adapt. The AoEC is over 20 years old and is a virtual global organisation. Despite this we have learnt lessons ourselves on the benefits of virtual learning of which can share some of these with you. 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Understanding the AoEC philosophy and values
  2. The importance of experiential learning environments – physical and virtual
  3. Why awareness of self as a coach is fundamental to being a great coach

Lori Shook - Rewire your Brain to Get Unstuck

Lori Shook

Rewire your Brain to Get Unstuck

Monday, June 8th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

It’s normal for us to get stuck as we progress towards a goal or dream and it can be frustrating to witness our clients suffering this fate. Imagine a client who sets an inspiring goal but doesn’t move forward with it: they are clear about the outcome and the steps to get there, they have the capacity to move forward but something gets in the way and stops them in their tracks. 

We know it’s some kind of fear stopping them, but how do we help them identify that fear and free themselves so they can move forward? During this keynote, Lori will introduce essential neuroscience principles and share why our innate wiring creates hesitance and resistance in us, even when we really want to move forward. She will share a coaching tool that will help you take your clients on a powerful introspective journey and give them a way to break free from the emotions that stop them.  

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. The brain is wired to maintain stability, security, and relationships with others. This playing-it-safe dynamic can stop us in our tracks and prevent movement towards our goals and dreams.
  2. We can change our wiring by interrupting our natural instincts, changing our thinking patterns and moving consciously and intentionally beyond the resistance.
  3. We can tap into other resources in the brain which will help us break free from the emotional brain’s resistance and fear.   

Conversation Starters:

  1. What insights have you taken from this session that will help you coach clients who are stuck?
  2. When you get stuck yourself, how much is that due to the limbic system trying to “help” you be safe & certain?
  3. When you get stuck yourself, how much is that due to the limbic system trying to “help” you be safe & certain?
Nihar Chhaya - Clinching the Client Chemistry Meeting

Nihar Chhaya

Clinching the Client Chemistry Meeting

Monday, June 8th, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

When companies hire corporate coaches, they typically offer 2-3 choices for the executive to choose from based on an individual chemistry meeting (what we coaches often call the “beauty pageant”). Each coach is already vetted for their skills and capabilities, so the decision is ultimately made based on a first impression by the leader through just one conversation. 

This meeting is the most critical determinant for whether you will get to coach at the company and yet it is highly unstructured, unpredictable and virtually impossible to prepare for, because leaders come to the meeting with different (often hidden) factors that will influence such a personal decision. 

Nihar Chhaya, executive coach to senior leaders at top global companies like American Airlines, Coca-Cola, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and dozens more, has not only succeeded in being selected by clients through numerous chemistry meetings, he is a former head of executive development at a Fortune 200 company and has an insider view into why executives choose certain coaches over others. 

In this session, he will show you how to approach the chemistry session in ways that set you apart from other candidates and increase the likelihood of the executive choosing you as their coach.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. The mistakes even the most experienced coaches make, that lead executives to reject them.
  2. Specific behaviors and phrases to deepen your connection during the chemistry session.
  3. Ways to save a chemistry meeting that is derailing and regain the chance to offer value.

Conversation Starters:

  1. What is the most challenging part about the chemistry meeting (e.g. preparing for it, structuring it, what to say, not knowing what really influences the client’s decision, etc.)
  2. What is one thing you heard in this session that you will commit to trying in your next chemistry meeting?
  3. What else has worked for you in increasing the likelihood you will be chosen after the chemistry meeting?
Roger Martin - Helping Leaders Frame and Make Real Choices

Roger Martin

Helping Leaders Frame and Make Real Choices

Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

The key job of any leader is to determine what choices his/her organization needs to make in order for it to prosper and to ensure that those choices are made and made well. This entails the leader understanding three things. 

First: What constitutes the set of choices that if left unmade would result in the most problematic outcomes for the organization and that if made well would produce the greatest upside.

Second: What a real choice looks like – as opposed to an apparent choice. 

Third: How to parse out choices across the organization and contribute to getting them made in the most productive way possible. 

This session will provide frameworks for thinking through each of these three tasks so as to be able to assist leaders in accomplishing the overall goal of framing and making the critical choices in their organizations.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. The five key choices a leader needs to make 
  2. The essence of a real choice
  3. The productive distribution and organization of choices in an organization
Jennifer Paylor - Humility is The New Normal

Jennifer Paylor

Humility is The New Normal

Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

During this time of crisis, leaders have to rise to the occasion and navigate uncertainty. This requires certain mindsets, behaviors, and capabilities that enable the leader to thrive in the face of adversity.  Humility is a key in this new normal. 

This session will explore the ins and outs of humility and leading through challenging times. Studies show that 70% of leaders in organizations fail at leading complexity and uncertainty, because they declare they have it all figured out from the beginning. 

On the other hand, leaders who demonstrate true humility understand the reality of complex change in digital economies and the hard work it takes to change culture and behavior. From day one, humility guides leaders to leverage the right mindsets and behaviors so they can get better at leading through challenging circumstances.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. To shift to a humility mindset and coaching approach to leadership that effectively drives complex transformation at scale
  2. Understand the power of humility when leading through a crisis
  3. Creating psychological safety and trust cultures in your organization using coaching
Sanyin Siang - Coaching our Leaders to be Comforters-in-Chief

Sanyin Siang

Coaching our Leaders to be Comforters-in-Chief

Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

Since March, covid19 and its consequences has dramatically changed the nature of work and our relationship with leaders. Beyond the anxiety of financial uncertainty, employees are also wrestling with personal illness or that of a loved one. Covid19 has inextricably intertwined our work and family selves and so now, for the first time in perhaps a century, grief has entered the workplace. 

In times of crisis, business leaders expand their responsibilities on multiple fronts. Among this is taking on a new skill – that of being the Comforter-in-Chief. It’s not one most of us are well-equipped for because talking to someone about their grief is uncomfortable, but at times , so radically antithetical to our construct of what business leadership should be. But, in the war that batters us financially and physically, we would be remiss not to talk about emotions. 

This session explores the key mindset of comforter-in-chief and strategies that we can coach ourselves and others into building this skill.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Going from a fix-it mindset to a vulnerable and a listening mindset
  2. Reflection is necessary and a powerful tool for creating self-awareness
  3. The enduring effects of investing in touchstone memories

Conversation Starters:

  1. What energizes you? When you look at your day, week, year – are you doing more of what energizes you? If not, why not?
  2. If we really know you, we would know……. Fill in the blank. What are the reactions of others in the group when you shared this with them?  
  3. How are you incorporating play and laughter into your leadership work?

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

The world is changing quickly. What worked in the past won’t work in the future (or the present for that matter). This is especially true when it comes to leadership. But will the leader of 2030 be that different than the leader of today? And if so, how? To find out, Jacob interviewed more than 140 of the world’s top CEOs and surveyed over 14,000 employees around the world for his new book, The Future Leader. The majority of the world’s top business leaders that Jacob interviewed believe that while some core aspects of leadership will remain the same, such as creating a vision and executing on strategy, leaders of the future will need a new arsenal of skills and mindsets to succeed. In this session Jacob will share more about the research and the findings from his book including what these skills and mindsets are, how well leaders around the world are currently practicing them, and steps to take to become a future-ready leader. Whether you’re coaching leaders or are a leader yourself, these are crucial things for you to understand and master.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. What are the most crucial skills and mindsets for future leaders?

Wednesday, June 10th 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

In this session, Professor Hill will share a simple but robust model of leadership to help managers focus their time and attention and achieve desired results. She will describe three imperatives of leadership: managing yourself, managing your network and managing your team. This framework was based on years of results and teaching high potentials (both MBAs and executives): What is expected of high potentials today given the need of companies to both execute and innovate?

  2. What can we do to help managers improve their capacity to manage their networks? (This is a key challenge today.)
  3. What can we do to help managers improve their capacity to manage their teams (maybe add the virtual dimension, or crisis dimension)?

Conversation Starters:

  1. What can we do to help managers be better at being game changers (lead innovation efforts) and not just value creators (lead execution efforts)?
Taryn Marie Stejskal - What Scares Us is Sacred

Taryn Marie Stejskal

What Scares Us is Sacred

Thursday, June 11th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

Leadership Resilience is encompassed by The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People, the evidence-based framework that provides guidance for the most resilient behaviors we can demonstrate, leadership and life, when we inevitably face challenge, change, and complexity. One of The Five Practices, Possibility, is the ability to face the sustained possibility of fear and failure over time, and increase our Adversity Quotient (AQ), which, given our current global landscape and the VUCA environment, is a key factor to success, perhaps even more so that IQ or EQ. 

In order to engage in the Resilient Practice of Possibility, we have the opportunity to face our greatest fears and realize that WHAT SCARES US IS SACRED. We live in a culture that has told us we need to be fearless, but instead, we have the opportunity to fear less. We have the opportunity to recognize what scares us is our most sacred learning experience, our greatest teacher, and opportunity for growth. 

Rather than seeing fear as being bad, wrong, or weakness, we can come to see fear, and teach our coaching clients to see fear, as an opportunity for growth and development.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Understand how fear impacts performance, decision making, leadership, and engagement
  2. How to intervene as a coach and support yourself and your coaching client in fearing less, instead of being paralyzed by fear of believing that success is associated with fearlessness
  3. Appreciate how engaging fear promotes leadership resilience and The Resilient Practice of Possibility

Conversation Starters:

  1. How have you observed that your coaching clients’ fear has impacted their performance, decision-making, leadership, and/or engagement?
  2. How have you coached your clients to face their own fear? What techniques did you use? What was the outcome or result?
  3. How have you observed that facing fear has allowed you or your coaching clients to see greater possibilities in their work and lives?

Hal Gregersen

Navigating the Human Side of Transitions with the Power of Inquiry

Friday, June 12th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

2020 has turned the world upside down in terms of what we do, where we do it, how we do it, and when we do it. We are being forced to give up habits that worked well in the past and navigate our way through entirely unknown and uncomfortable territory. We are struggling to figure out what’s next, meaning “What new skillset or mindset is worth mastering?” so we can make progress in times of extreme transition. 

In this session, we will explore the power of transition curve leadership and the role of catalytic inquiry in moving forward. We will tap into a decade of research found in Questions are the Answer (HarperCollins, 2018), The Innovator’s DNA (Harvard Business Review Press, 2011), and It Starts With One (FT Press, 2008) to help coaches: identify what’s next when clients face extreme uncertainty, learn how to help clients descend and ascend the toughest parts of a transition curve, explore how to acknowledge and manage the emotional arc of unexpected transitions (such as tolerating “not knowing” or rushing too fast into action mode), and harness the surprising power of catalytic inquiry to help clients get unstuck and summit new transition curves. 

Key Learning Takeaways

  1. Learn how to help clients identify what’s next when facing extreme uncertainty and how to support them as they descend and ascend the toughest parts of a transition curve
  2. Explore how to acknowledge and manage the emotional arc of unexpected transitions (such as tolerating “not knowing” or rushing too fast into action mode)
  3. Harness the surprising power of question bursts to help clients get unstuck and summit new transition curves in times of extreme change

Lori Shook

Live Coaching Demonstration with Lori Shook: Rewire your Brain to Get Unstuck

Friday, June 12th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

In this live demo, Lori will work with an individual client to move beyond a stuck place. She will use the coaching model presented in her keynote on the same topic earlier in the week. Her model is a neuroscience-based approach designed to help clients understand why they get stuck and how they can free themselves up again. In the demo, the client will have the opportunity to acknowledge and explore what inspires them and how their brain generates the fear that stops them. The second phase will support the client to find a way forward by adopting new thinking that will free them from the brain’s innate resistance. Along the way, Lori will demonstrate the use of coaching skills and competencies and what it means to hold space for a client in a personal development journey.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Clients can thrive when they understand that getting stuck is not because something is wrong with them, but because the brain’s design will naturally hold them back.
  2. Our thinking supports the brain’s design and if we change our thinking and self-talk, we can change how the brain operates.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VfHtRvuiRssZ0vpovE8qo-ywV6kADIsA9IZYR6h_A-I/edit#bookmark=id.swvknbi2j26g
  3. A simple approach can give clients an opportunity to do some relatively deep personal work.

Cy Wakeman - Hardwiring Accountability into Your Workforce and Coaching for Great Performance

Cy Wakeman

Hardwiring Accountability into Your Workforce and Coaching for Great Performance

Monday, June 15th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

Everyone is talking about accountability, but few organizations are successful in ensuring that personal accountability is hardwired into their talent and everyday business operations. Accountability has been elusive for many organizations, as they have not yet come to understand how to calculate the true value of an employee, how to drive it through great leadership, and how to measure the results. The true value of an employee is no longer determined just by their technical skills, expertise or current performance. 

The value proposition in our organizations today is far more complex in our new realities and must take into account one’s accountability level, ability to adapt to change, and willingness to align with the goals of the organization. 

In order to ensure that all talent will remain relevant and accountable far into the future and that plenty of bench strength exists in the organization, leaders must renew their focus on the coaching and development of their people. True development is the result of an individual being called to greatness, given challenging experiences and provided with coaching, support and feedback throughout. In this session, participants will learn the key elements of development and coaching along with many strategies for fast-tracking the development of future leaders. 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

Betty-Ann Heggie - The Gender Physics Leadership Advantage

Betty-Ann Heggie

The Gender Physics Leadership Advantage

Monday, June 15th, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

Gender Physics is a revolutionary practice designed to help business leaders capture the advantages of both gender attributes for maximum impact. In some venues, situations or with some audiences, it is best to respond with a more confident, assertive Masculine Energy while in others a caring, collaborative Feminine Energy works most effectively. This practice requires that we unshackle ourselves from traditional gender stereotypes but the benefits are huge as we will all ‘play to our strengths’ as individuals. 

Furthermore, it is an advantage for businesses. Astute leaders know that hiring the right talent for the position and developing that talent is integral to a company’s productivity and bottom-line results. Yet, our success in doing this is hampered when our employees are stifling their skills and talents in order to align themselves with the accepted attributes of their gender. 

Betty-Ann uses university research, and her own personal stories as a senior VP with the world’s largest fertilizer company to demonstrate how using a particular type of energy creates a particular result. Those in attendance will leave with a new way of looking at gender and be inspired to not only express their individuality, they will see the value in being both. 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Gender Stereotypes prevent us from expressing our individual skills and talents, limiting our personal satisfaction and professional achievement   
  2. Breaking free of gender stereotypes doubles the actions and options available to us making us more effective leaders
  3. None of us are ‘either/or’. Both energies are available to us and we need to give ourselves permission to let them emerge and work together 

Conversation Starters:

  1. Your ‘Go-To’ energy is valuable. Can you think of a time when you used it to your advantage?
  2. Gender Physics will help keep strengths from becoming weaknesses. Can you think of a time when you overused a strength and it hurt your performance?  
  3. We are all chameleons adapting to our environment like musical instruments blending in to the opinions held by others. Provide an example of the influence of culture on your behavior.

Tuesday, June 16th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

The science of neuro-axiology (the fusion of mind-brain science and value science) is delivering some paradigm-shifting insights regarding the central role that our perceptions and judgments of value and goodness play in our thinking and in our lives. (Hint: it’s both bigger and different than you might realize). These insights reveal simple and powerful ways for coaches (and LD/OD/TD professionals) and their clients to deliver greater value and make a bigger difference. Peter Demarest is one of the world’s leading experts in the science and applications of neuro-axiology. The late Stephen R. Covey (of “7 Habits…” fame), in endorsing Peter’s book, “Answering the Central Question,” called neuro-axiology a “groundbreaking science.” On this webinar, Peter will introduce you to this fascinating science, what it makes possible, why it is vitally important for the future of humanity, and how it can be a game-changer for coaches. You will learn: • THREE SCIENCE-BACKED PRINCIPLES about how real value is created and destroyed. • TWO COMMON MYTHS about “value” and “values” that may be limiting your effectiveness as a coach and your clients’ effectiveness in their life and work. • ONE POWERFUL QUESTION that can change your life, your practice, your clients’ lives, and their whole organization.

Expanding Your Social Consciousness to Better Serve Your Clients

Tuesday, June 16th, 2020, 5 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 6 pm ET

Description:

Are you causing unintentional harm to your clients from marginalized communities? 

As coaches, we have the potential to create life-changing transformation for our clients and companies. 

And we also have the power to create devastating harm. It is crucial now more than ever to expand our consciousness to the larger systems and societal factors that impact ourselves and our clients. 

In this session, we take a look at our own personal history, external narrative, and systemic/institutional factors to examine how they impact our work with clients. 

These factors can invalidate a client’s real and lived experiences and can sound like “I don’t see color/race” or even something well-intentioned like “Your biggest obstacle is within you.” Society’s overall social consciousness is rising, it is our role as coaches to lead the way. And we must start with us. 

If you are looking to raise your social consciousness, to get a bit uncomfortable in understanding and uncovering your own biases, and willing and open to do better in order to first, do no harm to clients, then this session is for you.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Learn why having awareness around diversity, equity, inclusion is critical to your coaching practice
  2. Identify ways to support your clients from marginalized communities
  3. Review strategies to reduce bias and harm

Conversation Starters:

  1. What stories, experiences, or stereotypes (on race, gender, sexuality, dis/ability, etc) did you have growing up that may be unconsciously impacting any biases you may have?
  2. Share your “I used to think…then I learned…and now I think…”
  3. What strategy or tip will you apply in your own life and coaching practice?

EDGE: Turning Adversity into Advantage – Part 1

Wednesday, June 17th, 2020, 9 am ET

IM Sessions take place at 10 am ET

Description:

The world isn’t a level playing field. Some people begin with inherent advantages; others have to create them for themselves. 

Stereotyping, bias, and superficial perceptions play a big role in how we’re seen by others and how far we can go. We are all subject to others’ biases—about race, gender, age, religion, ability, sexual orientation, and more—that can work for us or against us. The good news is that we can flip biases and reframe them to work in our favor, both in the workplace and in our lives. 

Based on her award-winning research, Harvard Business School Professor Laura Huang will share key insights that show us how to turn weaknesses into strengths and create our own unique edge in any situation.

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Insight into the difference between hard work, and hard work *plus*; the ways in which hard work matters, but understanding that it takes more than effort to achieve and maintain success. 
  2. Practical tips and strategies on how we hone our ability to read our audience and the ways in which others perceive us, so that we can redirect these perceptions and attributions.  
  3. Clarity on what obstacles, constraints, and stereotypes can do for us — they don’t always have to be setbacks; they can work to our advantage. 

Conversation Starters:

  1. We’re all looking for an edge. But where does it come from?
  2. Judgments about us are made quickly and can be difficult to shift.
  3. Our flaws as well as the biases others have about us, fairly or not, give us opportunities to distinguish ourselves by reframing the narratives we tell about ourselves.

The Seven Guardrails to Manage through Change

Wednesday, June 17th, 2020, 1 pm ET

IM Sessions take place at 2 pm ET

Description:

It is important to disrupt yourself. That is how we grow. We can track the disruptions in our lives––whether we act ourselves or we are acted upon––by using the S Curve of Learning as a mental model or framework. Normally, the plan is to learn, leap and repeat. When you get to the top of the S Curve, you jump. You disrupt yourself so you can continue to grow. What’s unique about right now is that we don’t have to make the decision to disrupt ourselves or not. We are just disrupted. There are guardrails of disruption that can help us move along the S Curve of Learning when things are uncertain. This session offer some additional resources that will help you find calm amidst what feels like chaos.  

 

Three Key Learning Takeaways:

  1. Understand how to apply the seven guardrails during these times for both coaches and clients
  2. Learn to take control of your own disruption (and your clients)
  3. Explore the art of pivoting and the ent
