THE PRESENCE-BASED COACHING COURSE

Presented by Doug Silsbee and Reframe Leadership Inc.

Supporting the development of others in challenging times requires a robust understanding of how humans grow and change, a methodology to accelerate sustainable learning, and the authenticity and depth that comes from a rigorous commitment to our own development.

This course is a two-part program designed to provide coaching and change professionals with a pragmatic toolkit for accelerating your own life-long development and that of your clients We hold a dual emphasis on building and extending our own presence, and on the specific coaching moves that build long term competence and self-generation in our clients. You will build a foundation of presence-based coaching skills, with a particular orientation toward developing the whole person. The entire curriculum is grounded in a developmental model of human change, leading toward the self-generative capacity to be present and a learner in all of life.

Each part consists of a approximately two hours of pre-work, a three day retreat in beautiful Banff, Alberta, Canada, and two class follow-up phone conversations with Doug.

Part I: Being a Development Partner can be taken as a stand-alone program appropriate for any level of coaching experience.

Taken with Part II: Evoking Self-Generation, the entire course offers an entry into a coaching approach with considerable depth, appropriate even for experienced practitioners. ICF coach certification credits are available.

• Experienced coaches, facilitators, and OD practitioners seeking to accelerate self-development and bring presence explicitly into their work
