Coaching Skills Mastery: Applying the best of modern science, in service of more powerful coaching
Original class date: September 17, 2007
Much of coaching has evolved from the intuitive adaptation of past best practices from a wide range of disciplines. There is great value in such a heritage as modern coaching has demonstrated high levels of client satisfaction and return on investment. And, when you can integrate your best intuitive practices with a solid core of what science has demonstrated actually makes people learn and grow optimally, you have a much more powerful approach. In the last few years there has been an outpouring of great research that supports and augments current coaching best practices. This talk covers some of the findings most important to coaches, including:
The Impact of Stress
The Implications of the Triune Brain
The Power of Inspiration
The Importance of Building on Strengths
The Finding of Positive Psychology
The Neuroscience of Focus and Frequency
The Power of Support and Relationship
