Anchoring Anxiety & Conquering Conflict Using Expectation Modeling

3 Sessions, 6 ICF Core Competency CCEs / 6 hours HRCI CPE credit $450
Learn More

The root of all conflict, both internal and external is unmet expectations. Meeting your client where they are at in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies affords them the power to choose their own paths and arrive at solutions that meet their individual needs.

Authentic Leadership & the Multigenerational Mindset

3 Sessions, 6 ICF Core Competency CCEs / 6 hours HRCI CPE credit $450
Learn More

Year over year, decade over decade, generational trends emerge in the workplace. Labels are often assigned, and workplace assumptions made, based upon years of experience, when and where someone entered the workplace, and many other factors forcing people into identifying groups.

Nowhere is this more apparent than with the Millennials. They grew up with technology created by their predecessors and peers. They use social media to communicate and multi-task as no other workplace generational group has in the past. Now, they are becoming leaders, and they demand authenticity.

But what does that term really mean? How do leaders emerge from these close-knit groups and how do they adopt a management mindset focused on bottom-line profitable results, not just having the most fun at work?

Coaching corporate leaders who want to be respected and promoted while at the same time remaining authentic to themselves and working efficiently so they can have more time to pursue personal interests is a challenging precipice many coaches are facing.

Appreciative Inquiry

3 Sessions, 6 ICF Core Competency CCEs / 6 hours HRCI CPE credit $450

Learn More
One of the first books about Appreciative Inquiry; A Positive Revolution in Change was published in 1999 by David Cooperrider, Diana Whitney. They offered an approach to organizational change based on the possibility of a more desirable future based upon the idea, “What is different now, at this time?”. That difference systematically taps the potential of human beings to make themselves, their organizations, & their communities more adaptive and more effective. AI, a theory of collaborative change, erases the winner/loser paradigm in favor of coordinated actions & closer relationships that lead to solutions at once simpler & more effective.

AI is about the search for the best in people, their organizations, & the strengths-filled, opportunity-rich world around them. AI is not so much a shift in the methods & models of organizational change, but AI is a fundamental shift in the overall perspective taken throughout the entire change process to ‘see’ the wholeness of the human system and to “inquire” into that system’s strengths, possibilities, & successes

Aligning the principle of AI with ICF Core Competencies & HRCI Functional Areas can significantly enhance your coaching skill set, improving your questioning power and level 2 and 3 listening skills as you progress in your career in service of your clients.

In this 6 hour core competency CCE course, we will look at 5 elements of self awareness, 3 kinds of self awareness & 4 steps to self awareness.

Add self awareness cultivation skills to your coaches tool box, honing your skills with other experienced professionals from around the globe. Share stories & work to grow together using various examples of how to develop awareness generating techniques into your work.

Coaching for Sustained Collaboration

3 Sessions, 6 ICF Core Competency CCEs / 6 hours HRCI CPE credit $450

Learn More
Leaders often think about collaboration somewhat narrowly: as a value to cultivate but not always a skill to teach. Ask any leader whether his or her organization values collaboration, and you’ll get a resounding yes, but asking if efforts for sustainable collaboration have been successful, and you’ll probably receive a different answer.

Using this course with your leadership clients allows them to engage in a coach approach with their own leaders to increase awareness across many topics relating to sustainable collaboration including: spreading respect for colleagues’ contributions, openness to experimenting with others’ ideas, and sensitivity to how one’s actions may affect both colleagues’ work and the mission’s outcome. How positive outcomes can be driven and negative behaviors like distrusting others and obsessing about their own status can be minimized. Working to encourage an outward focus in everyone, challenging the tendency people often have to fixate on themselves, empowers both teams and individuals move towards outcomes of not only what they’d like to say and achieve, but also what can be learned from others.

Taking the ideas around sustained collaboration and moving it from an officially named corporate goal to a recognizable corporate culture requires creating opportunities for collaboration and demonstrating institutional support for it over time. Work more effectively using these guidelines.

Power of Positivity

3 Sessions, 6 ICF Core Competency CCEs / 6 hours HRCI CPE credit $450
Learn More

Positivity can be contagious. Every situation has an upside and a downside; the yin and the yang, the good and the bad. The ICF core competencies help to draw out positivity in ourselves as coaches in order to serve any client, but some people are predisposed to see the glass half-empty; they focus on past bad experiences rather than the positive things they learned along the way. They worry about the “what ifs” of situations they have no control over, rather than saying “this is what I CAN do” and focusing on the upside of a situation.

Much work has been done around the relationship between positive psychology and coaching. Increase your own awareness and fine-tune your knowledge of core competencies around The Power of Positivity with this continuing coach education course from The Elevar Group designed specifically for credentialed coaches.

Re-solutionizing Conflict – New Approaches to Conflict Resolution

3 Sessions, 6 ICF Core Competency CCEs / 6 hours HRCI CPE credit $450
Learn More

This course is a deep dive on conflict methodologies starting with the definition of conflict, types, and sources as well as ways to revolutionize your clients’ conflict resolution techniques. Conflict is defined as any situation in which incompatible goals, attitudes, emotions, or behaviors lead to a disagreement or opposition between two or more individuals. Examine conflict as two types defined as functional and dysfunctional. Functional conflict results in positive benefits to individuals, a group, or the organization. This type of good conflict can raise awareness of important issues so that they can be addressed. Good conflict carries the potential to be a win-win. Dysfunctional conflict, on the other hand, can damage group cohesion, promote hostilities among those involved, and create an overall negative experience for all associated with the situation. Examine conflict as two sources defined as internal and external.

Within the course we cover the following ICF core competencies: Establishing Trust and Intimacy, Active Listening, Powerful Questioning, Direct Communication, Creating Awareness, Designing Actions, Planning & Goal Setting, Managing Progress and Accountability. Each class module builds upon the previous one, and requires each participant to coach and be coached through the revolutionary process of resolving conflicts in 4 steps:

1- Determining the type and nature of conflict- functional/dysfunctional and internal/external

2- Identifying the expectation breakdown

3- Evaluating consequences

4- Breaking the cycle of escalation

Learn More

Whether in individual, leadership or group organizational coaching having a strong background in values based decision making can assist you with clients in many meaningful ways.

Individual core values influence people, groups and organizations both subconsciously and overtly. When someone has a strong understanding of how values guide decisions and actions, that awareness can open up a strong methodology of decision making that helps eliminate worry – allowing people to be more at peace with the choices they make -vs- worrying about how multiple choices might play out. They make the decision with more strength and conviction eliminating the need to worry about what might happen if they go down one path vs another. It can also be a strong way to reduce conflict in a group that may have difficulty making decisions.
