Habits shape every dimension of human behavior—from how we lead to how we react, connect, and make decisions. As coaches, understanding habits gives us a powerful, evidence-based framework for creating lasting, meaningful change with our clients.

Coaching Habits is a highly practical, ICF-aligned 6-hour course designed for coaches who want to deepen their mastery of human behavior and elevate their effectiveness in supporting transformative client growth. This interactive course explores how habits form, how they influence mindsets, behaviors, outcomes, and interpersonal dynamics, and how coaches can help clients create new empowering habits while dismantling outdated, limiting ones. Aligned directly with the ICF Core Competencies, participants will also explore how habits tie to core values and their role in both creating and resolving conflict.

Across three focused sessions, you’ll learn how habits are formed, how to shift unproductive patterns, how habits shape mindsets and outcomes, and how aligning habits with values increases fulfillment and reduces conflict. Through this course, you’ll strengthen your ability to help clients uncover the unconscious routines that drive their decisions—and replace them with intentional, values-driven actions.

This course is designed to empower coaches with the skills and knowledge needed to build resilience in leaders and organizations, especially in an age marked by constant change and unpredictability.

This course is designed to be interactive and reflective, providing coaches with the tools and insights needed to build and sustain resilience in their clients and themselves.

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.

Many corporations are seeking enhancements around a corporate culture that maximize productivity, reduces turnover, & encourages creativity and open dialogue fruitful to innovation. These initiatives are often led by or include coaches in the process.

In this course, we fashion individual frameworks for attendees to use in their own unique scenarios utilizing using the 12 core competencies as a backbone to create a corporate coaching culture framework as is appropriate for your practice, client &/or company.

There is the synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that participants bring to a Mastermind Group. Participants raise the bar by challenging each other to create and implement goals, brainstorm ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect, and compassion.

Mastermind participants act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates, and supportive colleagues. Mastermind groups are popping up internationally, often lead by coaching professionals. This course examines this emerging format of group coaching and how its growing popularity will impact coaching globally. We will also discover the use of meaningful breakouts within the group and individual mini sessions.

Working with clients on a journey of self-discovery, like a leadership branding exercise, requires strong coaching acumen. A personal leadership brand conveys one’s identity and distinctiveness as a leader. It communicates the value they offer. If someone has the wrong leadership brand for the position they have, or the position they want, then their work is not having the impact it could.

Leadership brand as a company, or as an employer, is a reputation for developing exceptional managers with a distinct set of talents that are uniquely geared to fulfill customers’ and investors’ expectations. A company with a strong leadership brand inspires faith that employees and managers will consistently make good on the firm’s promises.

Leadership is a social process – it’s not just about individuals, it’s about impact, influence and so much more. Take time from your busy schedule to take a step back from your own desk, day, client appointments and more and increase your knowledge of this important topic to improve your own effectiveness as an executive coach, facilitator, or executive leader.

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, and their communities more adaptive and more effective. AI, a theory of collaborative change, erases the winner/loser paradigm in favor of coordinated actions and closer relationships that lead to solutions at once simpler and more effective.

AI is about the search for the best in people, their organizations, and the strengths-filled, opportunity-rich world around them. AI is not so much a shift in the methods and 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, and successes

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

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.

In this 6 hour course, we work with an elegantly simple model designed to allow your client quick access to the root of their conflict or anxiety. This framework, based on exploration of individual core values, creates deep awareness for clients to gain understanding of the situations they face. Using deep questioning, clients can understand why conflict or anxiety arises when it does, and how they can work to arrive at a solution in alignment with their individual core values.

Within this course we cover the following core competencies: Establishing Trust and Intimacy, Coaching Presence, Active Listening, Powerful Questioning, Direct Communication, Creating Awareness, Designing Actions, Planning & Goal Setting, Managing Progress and Accountability. Each module builds upon the previous and requires each person to personally ask and answer questions for active learning and application of the model with their clients and themselves.
