Every coach has faced this challenge...you've got a sense of what's going on for your client, and you've used all your coaching skills to draw it out.  How do you serve your client respectfully and artfully when the client just isn't willing to go where the change will actually happen?

In this workshop, Jonathan Reitz, MCC will guide you through brain-friendly strategies that will help your client:

  • gain awareness of their own thoughts and feelings,
  • develop the confidence to express what's happening for them,
  • experiment with language that builds clarity and encourages appropriate risk-taking, and
  • make progress that otherwise seems out of reach.

And all this starts with remembering that you can't coach what your client won't say.

Key Learning Takeaways

  1. You’ll take away strategies designed to help your client name what’s most important to them so that they can take action.
  2. You’ll explore the Offer >> Inquire >> Explore >> Action Continuum for maximizing impact.
  3. Dive deep into how a client overcomes their hesitance to talk about what might be the central core of an issue, and reveals what is most critical to them!

Session length: 90 minutes

2020-01-09T09:00:00-05:00 Thursday, January 9th 9:00 EDT

It's the coach's dilemma:  you and your client get to a breakthrough.  The lightbulb goes on...the earth moves. We've all been there.  Your client KNOWS that everything will be different after this session.   

But when the next session starts, NOTHING has changed.  In fact, your client hasn't even taken a single step that you discussed in your session.  In this session, Jonathan Reitz, MCC will walk you through key data-driven insights that predict your likelihood of helping a client actually transform because of your work together.  

You'll learn to tailor your coaching presence to the topics your client wants to take on and set measurable targets based on a client's data profile using assessments and other publicly available data sources.  

You can raise the likelihood of making a measurable difference in your client's life.  This session looks at the paradoxical mix of data and coaching skills to make the most of it!

Key Learning Takeaways

  1. Develop language and a framework for measuring change in you client’s behavior and performance that is applicable to both individual and team environments.
  2. Discover data sources that can confirm the change your seeing in your client.  Apply a data science mindset to measuring change!
  3. Learn to tailor your coaching presence to what your client is working to accomplish to maximize transformation.

2020-01-09T17:00:00-05:00 Thursday, January 9th 17:00 EDT

Masterful coaches tailor how they show up in order to serve a client at the highest level.  With training and experience, a coach learns to match the tempo and pace of client or to allow more space for reflection based on what the client is tackling.

In this coaching demonstration, Master Certified Coach Jonathan Reitz will set the conversation up with an overview of the data sources that can provide a snapshot of potential adjustments to coaching presence to make the most of the opportunity!  

Your coaching presence will never be the same!

  1. You’ll learn to look for data confirmation of the change(s) your clients are experiencing.
  2. Coaches will apply the language of numbers and data to change conversations in your engagements.
  3. You will develop strategies to match measurable data with observable change.
