Coaching Interest Group --November 2012 Meeting

BI-MONTHLY COACHING GROUP MEETING

Join us for the Coaching Interest Group meeting on Thursday, November 15, 2012.  This special interest group is for everyone with an interest in coaching.  Members of the Network are always welcome to attend the Coaching Group!

The theme of this meeting will be conflict and confrontation in the coaching process.  Often coaches will have to work with a client who is in conflict with others.  Coaching a client in effective conflict management and appropriate confrontation can be a challenge.  Likewise, coaches must be comfortable with their own ability to confront clients.  

As a backdrop to and support for our discussion of conflict and confrontation, we will review:  Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking when Stakes are High by Patterson, Grenny, McMillan & Switzler, 2002.  A Crucial Conversation is defined as: “A discussion between two or more people where (1) stakes are high, (2) opinions vary, and (3) emotions run strong” (p. 3) and the outcome greatly impacts their lives.

With more than 2 million copies sold, this book --now in its second edition -- gives you the tools to prepare for high-stakes conversations, transform anger and hurt feelings into powerful dialogue, and make it safe to talk about almost anything.

Reservations are required. 

Location:  Mimi’s Café, 4175 Millenia Blvd., Orlando (near Millenia Mall)
