Make confident & crystal clear decisions on how to support your clients  

Arianna will be giving away her 7+ years of education in Clinical Psychology during this session to bridge the gap between coaching and therapy. This 90-minute session will go over 4 different education areas that Arianna has researched to be most beneficial to coaches. These include but are not limited to; Risk Assessment, Clinical Skills, Application and Crisis Management, and Utilizing Consultation and Referral.

* In Risk Assessment, we will focus on intake processes such as initial consultation questions, intake questions, and established safety plan to protect not only the client but the coach as well.

This section will go over how to support clients experiencing the most common clinical diagnoses and Arianna will go over her “capture the flag” concept in catching certain flags for higher risk clients. This section will also address suicidal clients and how to best support them in a way that protects both the coach and the client.
* In Application and Crisis Management, we will be going over case examples, role plays, and intervention suggestions to handle certain challenging scenarios with clients. We will also go over how to use any triggers, therapeutic ruptures, and a request to end services prematurely in a healing way for the client.
* Next, we have Utilizing Consultation and Referral which explores how coaches can utilize consultation with other coaches and other mental health professionals with certain coaching client questions and how to differentiate when a client may need referral to a mental health professional or higher-level care.

Discover how to harness the power of humor in your coaching practice—even if you’re not funny!

In this interactive virtual session, you will learn:

• List the 3 purposes of humor.
• Recognize the 7 competencies of High Performance Humor for coaches.

• Ways to become an engaging meeting leader on-line and keep your message clear and your attendees engaged.
• Configuration tips to set up your coaching sessions for optimal performance vis-à-vis the goals of each meeting.

Zoom gives you helpful tools and features that you might not be aware of. This presentation will lay the path for you to fully realize your coaching potential in the on-line space.

Mindsets:

The Keys to Unlocking Greater Success in Ourselves and Those We Coach

June 8, 2020

All coaches desire to have a positive impact on their clients. Unfortunately, they often overlook a personal attribute that is critical for personal and leadership development: Mindsets. And even if they do focus on and value mindsets, they often do not have clarity on what mindsets they need to focus on and develop within their clients.  In this session, the latest in psychology and neuroscience will be presented to explain the power and importance of mindsets for personal development, and show how specific mindsets have been proven to be necessary for personal and leadership success.

To better understand your mindset, registered attendees will be provided a link to complete an optional personal mindset assessment.

In this session, Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D will:

• Present 30+ years of academic research demonstrating the power and importance of focusing on mindsets when working with clients
• Identify the mindsets coaches need to ensure they
  • have their desired effect on their clients and
  • continue to grow their business
• Apply the latest in neuropsychological research to identify new, bolder ways
  of developing leaders and clients

He helps improve organizations, leaders, teams, and employees by improving their mindsets.

In this highly practical and fun-filled workshop, you will learn ways to:

• Create a Sales Mindset

• Increase Your Confidence

• Improve Your Communication

• And, Effectively Manage our Sales Process

The Coach as Speaker:
How to Create a Masterful Speaking Presence

May 11, 2020

Speaking to groups is the number one way to build a coaching practice, but only if who you’re being in front of the room is as present, authentic, and sincere as when you’re interacting with clients. But, what’s the key to making it happen? Never stop being a coach!  Apply the same core competencies to speaking as you do to your coaching.  Create a safe and supportive environment in your room that honors your audience’s agenda. When you’re open and flexible in the moment, you create a dynamic synergy with your audience.

In this interactive and thought-provoking presentation, you will learn:

• How to manifest a presence that’s warm and genuine while being profoundly audience-focused
  and intensely purposeful.
• How the message you send goes beyond the words you speak.
• What goes into creating a compelling, interactive presentation that evokes insight and
  encourages people to expand their thinking.
• How to provide masterful coaching as you engage audience members.
• How to make an offer from the stage that speaks to the needs of your audience members and lands
  like an opportunity for further exploration and growth … and how to stay unattached as you do it!

The bottom line:  Talking with a client in a coaching setting is very much like speaking to a group
of people you don’t know … if you approach it the right way.

You love the group you’re going to. You love the topic they advertised.  

You can’t wait for the meeting!  You show up and then…whuh? 
What happened up there?

Why didn’t it work? 

You know there was a message in there somewhere but, somehow, it just got lost. 
Or even worse:  Might people be feeling that way when you present?

From a simple introduction to a full keynote speech, all the energy in the world won’t fix
a lack of structure.  Milo Shapiro will present his “Four Steps to Successful Speech Structure” and:

• Outline a clear and creative way to organize yourself for a presentation.
• Demonstrate how to captivate the room and have people seeking you out
  at the break for your card.
• Show you the difference between a 30-second intro and an elevator speech.
• Technology permitting, you’ll be paired with another attendee to practice your killer intro… and then we’ll hear a few of them.

Selling Your Services Through Stories

Arguments…rarely shift intuitions; it’s through stories that we revise our sense of what’s natural.  [Stories are] ‘intuition pumps.

                                     - Cynthia Burnham, New Yorker Magazine, March 27,  2017

The bottom line is that you will never inspire, teach, or sell as well with dry, boring facts alone – it is the story behind the data that creates connection, emotional response, and buying decisions. 

Cynthia Burnham will teach us how to make data come alive through stories and the underlying concepts of storytelling – even in small segments – and how to positively-influence the decisions of our clients and potential clients by structuring information in a way they can hear and be intrigued by. 

In this insightful and interactive presentation, you will learn:

• The neuroscientific basis for decision-making, and why the brain has a bias for stories
• How to recognize and use emotional hooks, micro-messages, and directed expressions to create mini-stories that link to emotions and create connection with clients
• Ways to structure discussions of past successes and make data feel like a story that make you more “real,” credible, and accessible to your potential clients

Susan reveals a science-based approach to help people identify their motivational outlook, shift from sub-optimal to optimal motivation, and reflect on their shift to prompt behavior change and sustain the optimal motivation required for achieving complex and long-term goals. Coaches discover how Motivation Conversations are distinctly different, yet compliment, traditional coaching.

Motivation science has evolved. Groundbreaking research reveals the truth about our nature and human motivation that leads to major motivation breakthroughs on routine tasks and significant goals. We are finally coming out of the dark ages of motivation practices that have thwarted or eroded the optimal motivation necessary for creativity, innovation, sustainable high performance, and overall wellbeing.

Motivation is a skill that anyone can learn, nurture, and apply to experience optimal motivation anytime and anywhere they choose. People don’t need to depend on willpower or wait for leaders, teachers, parents, or coaches to create an environment that is optimally motivating. They can pro-actively apply three scientific truths to shift your own motivation reality.Coaches are uniquely positioned to help people apply these scientific truths

Susan will invite you to consider how to integrate motivation conversations into your coaching practices. Moving people forward on their goals through problem solving and action planning when they don’t have optimal motivation is like building castles on sand. The energy to pursue their goals simply erodes.

Outcomes

• An opening activity is designed for participants to experience different motivational outlooks. Participants also practice facilitating a partner’s motivation shift using scientifically derived questions. Participants are challenged to share “what’s become clear”  but also ask the pivotal question that can help clarify this radically different approach to dealing with motivation issues.
• Examine the motivation science underlying the approach to Motivation Conversations
• Practice using questions to create Choice, Connection, and Competence—the three psychological needs required for optimal motivation
• Explore ways Motivation Conversations can be integrated into coaching protocols to facilitate your client’s motivational shift to generate the positive energy needed for accomplishing routine tasks or major goals

Susan Fowler implores leaders to stop trying to motivate people. In her bestselling book, she explains WHY MOTIVATING PEOPLE DOESN’T WORK… AND WHAT DOES: The New Science of Leading, Engaging, and Energizing,

Susan educates leaders and coaches on motivation best practices based on solid science communicated through compelling storytelling, case studies, and real-life examples. Through her writing, speaking, consulting, training, and coaching, Susan is dedicated to providing leaders and coaches around the globe with a cutting-edge framework, dynamic model, and pragmatic course of action to shape workplaces and personal conditions where people flourish while producing sustainable results.

Susan is the author of by-lined articles, peer-reviewed research, and six books, including Achieve Leadership Genius with Drea Zigarmi and Dick Lyles, the bestselling Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager with Ken Blanchard.
