October 29 Webinar
Breaking the Ice of Nice™
Laurie Hall, MSc, PCC

12:00 – 1:00 PM CDT

Webinar Cost: No Fee for Members / $10 for Non-Members

Our October 29 Webinar features Laurie Hall, MSc, PCC of New Horizon Strategies, LLC. As a "Dare to Lead™" certified facilitator, Laurie bases this webinar on Dr. Brené Brown's recent best-selling book of the same title. This webinar is designed to help coaches explore how to hone communication effectiveness by determining their unique Call to Courage. You’ll gain a better understanding of the fears and needs linked to giving and receiving feedback—and a specific tool to use going forward. Are you ready to Break the Ice of Nice?

Many leaders tell us their organizations are pretty good, but a little too nice. When we avoid having tough conversations because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, are we effectively communicating? The answer is no! Dr. Brené Brown’s research around Daring Leaders shows the number one barrier to braver leaders is the lack of courage to have tough conversations. What would happen if leaders replaced being nice with being more courageous? What impact could this have with teams, with organizations, and with customers?

News from ICF Global

2019 Global Coaching Survey
It's Not Just for Coaches... Spread the Word

The last time a Global Coaching Study was commissioned by Price Waterhouse Coopers and the ICF was 2015. But, it’s the fourth time that this important survey has been conducted. What is it? The survey is designed to engage with as many coaches as possible to provide an up-to-date picture of the coaching profession and empower coaches to embrace the opportunities and meet the challenges ahead. It explores diverse topics, including Industry size and revenue, the business and practice of coaching, and perspectives on industry trends, including regulation, technology and more.

And it’s not just for coaches. This will be the second time that managers/leaders using coaching skills are included in the study. In 2015, their inclusion enabled us to achieve powerful insights into the growth of coaching cultures within businesses and organizations.

Anyone who fits one of the categories below can take the survey:

External coach practitioners
Internal coach practitioners
Coaches who self-identify as both external and internal coach practitioners
HR/talent development managers/leaders who use coaching skills
Managers/leaders who use coaching skills

The survey benefits coaches by giving them insights into where they can grow their business and help them understand where they fit into the marketplace.

The survey is open through December, 2019. But, don’t delay. Complete the survey and send the link to someone you know who is a coach or someone who is a manager or leader utilizing coaching. We all can benefit by participating in this important research. For more information, visit ICF Global.
