Sharpen the Coaching Saw: The Power of Questions
by Mina Brown, MCC
Join us for the fourth in the series of Sharpen the Coaching Saw ICF competency skill development workshops. Our chapter MCCs and MCC LINC volunteers have partnered together to bring you an opportunity to stretch your coaching skills through learning, demonstration and observed practice. Each workshop is a stand-alone learning experience and participation in previous sessions is not required. We have something to offer all levels:
CIT (Coach in Training) – Recommended for coaches and those interested in becoming coaches. You may be enrolled in a coach training program or logging hours towards your ACC credential. This learning group will focus on building a strong coaching foundation.
ACC (Associate Certified Coach) – Recommended for coaches that have completed coach training and achieved their ACC credential with up to 300 hours. This learning group is designed to build confidence and strengthen the coaching muscle.
PCC (Professional Certified Coach) – Recommended for the working coach with between 300 and 1500 logged hours. This learning group seeks to stretch in new ways and avoid bad habits and coaching ruts.
MCC (Master Certified Coach) – Recommended for PCCs and MCCs with over 1500 logged hours. This learning group is on the road to coaching mastery and is seeking to make, and retain, the mental and skill shifts required of the MCC.
The May workshop will tap into the power of questions. Mina Brown will lead an interactive and exploratory discussion about powerful questions—the road to awareness: what makes questions “powerful,” how to recognize or challenge clients’ perspectives, how to hear what the client is saying and not saying, and provocative new frames for curiosity.
Coaches from our MCC LINC group will facilitate unique breakout practice activities for each of the four experience levels. We’ll share our learning and take away a practice challenge.
