In this interactive session, you will learn how leaders can more effectively manage through change, including a detailed look at the framework of personal disruption, a seven-point framework codified in the critically-acclaimed book Disrupt Yourself and the upcoming book Everyone Has An S-Curve: Driving Engagement by Developing Employees Who Disrupt for a Living (Harvard Business Press: 2018).
We will also present findings from the proprietary diagnostics (distributed in the preview session) indicating what kind of disruptor you are, and if it’s time to make a jump and try something new.
Creating our own routine as a coach is a practical and effective way of ensuring we can enter each new coaching assignment and coaching conversation with a degree of confidence. It helps us focus our attention less on the process and more on the client. In supervision, I find that relatively experienced coaches commonly admit that they don’t find their coaching to be greatly challenging any more. So they seek help in expanding their practice to maintain the level of challenge.
Staying in their comfort zone carries with it a greater danger, however. The more comfortable we feel, the more avoidant we become of questions that might undermine our confidence. We call these “taboo topics” and I and colleagues have been collecting these for some time. In this full-summit webinar, I will explore with you:
• What causes us to be unaware of challenges to our assumptions about coaching generally and about our own practice in particular?
• What are the most common “taboo topics”?
• What can you do to make sure you challenge your own practice and assumptions frequently and effectively?
You are invited to bring to the webinar one or more of our own “taboo topics” – if you can!
What you will gain from this webinar:
You will receive ideas and insights that will help you answer these three questions:
• What issues have you avoided thinking about?
• What’s the potential impact on your practice as a coach?
• What do you want to do about these?
