The Five On-Ramps that help
leaders to develop coaching cultures
The SeattleCoach Shepherd Coaches focus on On-Ramps #1-3.
And opportunities are opening for Shepherd Coaches to offer On-Ramp #4
#2 |
Meetings With Groups and Teams.
The leader shares his or her vision for the coming period of growth, and the team works together with the leader and the coach to process both key agreed-upon content along with ground-rules and expectations. Everyone leaves with enthusiasm, a next step and some shared accountability. On-ramp #2 is often repeated quarterly as the team attends to their process and to their shared deliverables. Some examples: Ground rules for new and renewing teams; managing conflict; coaching skills to improve feedback; meeting strategies; consistently getting everyone's best; working with accountability; performance improvement and career development; a leader's personal presence. What does your group or team need more of? less of? |

Introduction to Coaching for Leaders.
As clarity grows about the nature and payoffs of coaching skills and presence, this on-ramp brings a fast-paced and interactive 4-hour workshop for up to 50 key leaders and people managers. In this day together, we introduce everyone to the key concepts and vocabulary of coaching as a people manager. Everyone leaves with some enthusiasm, a next step and some shared accountability. Every time we teach one of these workshops, a handful of leaders ask for more. |

Coaching for Leaders, aka, CFL.
A Master Class, not a "tips and tools" training. We select up to thirty-five seasoned leaders, meet for four quarterly off-sites, provide customized training in coaching skills and presence, along with on-going peer groups. The result is a little magic. SeattleCoach is a recognized training provider by the International Coach Federation (ICF), so at the close of CFL, each participant receives documentation for 48 hours of coach-specific training. |
#5 |
Our Full SeattleCoach Professional Credentialing Track. A Master Class. Taught by our internationally credentialed SeattleCoach faculty members. We launch two Cohorts in Seattle each Fall, and two more each Spring. Carefully selected mid-career professionals from various backgrounds and organizations come together for a life-changing eight months. This too is a master class that includes 75 hours of coach-specific training that are recognized by the ICF. (Click here for more info.)

The SeattleCoach definition of leadership coaching:
“A collaborative—even elegant—conversation, of any length, that fosters a growth mindset by inviting the full, dimensional intelligence and presence of the people involved.”
