Coaching - The New Way of Learning**SOLD OUT**
Janeen Whalen MCC | Newell Eaton
The game has changed and now so must you. So many of us are caught in shock not knowing how to navigate the unsteady landscape. We are questioning our assumptions and finding that what we knew to be true is no longer something we can count on. We claimed our success by doing what we knew worked. Now the tides have changed and a revolution for reinvention is upon us. Each of us has to custom-design our future all over again.
Never before has the need for coaching been greater. People are hungry for guidance and are turning to coaches to assist them in understanding change and articulating a new future.
Overview:
Coaching, or just-in-time learning is changing how people learn. It's a required competency for today’s and tomorrow's leaders, whether your leadership is applied to business, a classroom, community or a family. Understanding human behavior and developing human capabilities are the primary tasks.
This transformational learning process allows new insights into how one sees the world. Automatic thinking and embedded behaviors have produced the current circumstances. In order to move forward into new possibilities, an understanding and ownership of how an individual (or team) has constructed a particular perception of the world needs to be acknowledged. With a coach facilitating, creative strategies for new ways of thinking and acting come into the light creating a breakthrough shift in how the world is seen.
Coaching – The New Way Of Learning will give you an opportunity to experience the power of coaching in your own life. You not only begin to learn coaching skills, methods and principles, but in the process, you will also experience as a client, the powerful impact of all that you are learning.
The course style is interactive, "hands-on" with the participants actively applying what they are learning in a safe and encouraging environment. It weaves together inquiry, systems thinking, reflective learning and supportive challenging processes as well as giving and receiving valuable coaching feedback. It is our intention that through these non-traditional methods each participant recognizes their own unique voice and style and understands the impact of their presence.
While some courses emphasize methodology at the expense of practice, this is very much of a practical “how to” course. Some of the skills that you will be learning are:
How To:
- address the concerns of today and interact with change, fear, paradox and unpredictability
- dance with the future; instead of trying to control it
- listen to your client so that they are fully seen
- know when your client is not coachable
- use the skill that is most appropriate at any place in a coaching conversation
- access your intuition to enhance your work with your client
- identify self-defeating influences
- create a powerful trusting coaching relationship that allows you to do the deeper work
- keep from getting stuck in the details and to stay out of 'fix-it' mode
- craft the quality of question that taps into the clients’ innate wisdom and passion
- use your coaching skills one-on-one or with teams
Coaching – The New Way Of Learning will take you on an experiential journey.
You Will:
- Develop a powerful foundational coaching skill set that can be used in a corporate or personal environment.
- Grow both competence and confidence as a coach.
- Develop your own unique coaching style and establish a compelling coaching presence.
- Be able to coach different people at various stages along their developmental path.
- Identify your own personal learning edge to enhance your coaching.
Who Will Benefit:
Any person who is interested in an overview of the art, process, and practice of coaching; whether you want to add a new skill set to your existing portfolio, start a new career path or use what you will be learning for personal exploration and awakening.
“Remarkable coaching allows the client to experience their greatness and learn about themselves in a way that empowers action and opens possibilities.”
-- Janeen Whalen
"The coaching immersion totally changed how I interact with people every day! It is funny – I try to be in “coach mode” as much as possible. I find that I listen quite differently, ask Questions differently and try to say a lot less. I understand that it's not about me or my agenda.”
-- David Lunken, PI Midlantic

Innovation Leadership **3 seats left**
David Magellan Horth | Dan Buchner
Innovation is such a hot button in businesses these days yet often associated with a need to be practical and to innovate within economic constraints. Organizational leaders are seeking silver bullet solutions yet often overlook the fact that to innovate and to develop a sustainable organizational capability for innovation requires a different way of thinking - including a different way of thinking about leadership.
In this workshop the best of research and practice of leadership and leadership development at the Center for Creative Leadership is brought together with the best of thinking and practice of innovation and design from Continuum. Dan Buchner and David Magellan Horth have led a partnership between these two organizations to develop a highly practical and impactful experience which makes design thinking relevant to leadership and demonstrates ways that leaders can enhance both their own ways of addressing leadership challenges and develop the climate in which theirs and others innovative thinking and practice leads to sustained innovation for the organization.

New Thinking, New Thinkers!
"A dialogue with the people who are breaking new ground and exploring new ideas and research learnings in deliberate creativity and creative thinking."
Facilitated by: John Sedgwick | Paul Groncki
With this Immersion program CPSI will be coming home to one of its most critical functions: the exploration of new ideas and new thinking with the very people who are bringing them forward. We will have strong collaboration from the International Center for Studies in Creativity, (ICSC), SUNY, Buffalo, the academic home of our pioneers and founders, Sid Parnes and Ruth Noller and the people at the Journal of Creative Behavior. There will be representation from other creativity centers, both academic and non-academic, from around the world. We expect to have some of today's creativity pioneers with us 'live and in person', and others will join us via the magic of technology.
What will we be doing?
The focus will be on what we know and what we are learning about deliberate creativity, innovation and change. We will start with “evidence-based” research but will have lots of room for cases, stories, activities, and experimental tools and techniques.
- Leading experts with scheduled presentations giving us their answers to the questions: "What's new and who's doing the most exciting work in this field?"
- Participants to share and explore their latest projects and get input and feedback from the group.
What can you expect to learn from this cutting-edge session?
- What's new in deliberate creativity and creative thinking?
- Who is on the cutting edge?
- What are they learning, saying, and doing?
- How is the world of creativity changing and where is it headed?
Come and join the dialogue. Share with us what you think is “new'” in our field and tell us who you think are the people to watch.
