    This year's virtual conference theme is 

    Disruption in Coaching: Breaking Open and Breaking Through 


    Disruption is NOT a four-letter word.

    Disruption, defined as a break or interruption in the normal course of activity, can come from within or from external forces. 

    Our natural tendency is to retreat to familiar methods and pursue normalcy when faced with disruption. However, staying in our comfort zones, accepting the status quo, and embracing our limiting beliefs lead to stagnation.

    How can we view disruption as an opportunity for growth—for coaches, clients, leaders, organizations, and humans alike? How can we, as coaches, harness the power of disruption to break open our thought patterns and inspire transformative change for our clients and ourselves?

    How Curiosity May Have Killed the Cat Coach

    Mastermind Series

    Session 4 – October 21st, 4:30pm-6pm

    Most people would say that one of the top skills of an effective coach is curiosity. If they are not curious, why will they care? How will they ask powerful insightful questions? 

    What curiosity is good curiosity – in us and in our clients?

    What comes as a surprise to many is the discovery that curiosity is not just one thing. As of now, science says it is FIVE components. 

    1. Joyous Exploration

    2. Deprivation Sensitivity

    3. Stress Tolerance

    4. Thrill Seeking

    5. Social Curiosity

    Join Ruth Pearce, ACC, (PCC application submitted), JD, PMP facilitates this Mastermind and guides us in exploring how we as coaches can work with our clients to activate hope, leverage, and hone strengths, recognize, and cultivate bravery and fine tune curiosity.

    The Mastermind series is based upon Ruth’s book Be Hopeful, Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Curious and will explore the four pillars of Hope, Strength, Bravery, and Curiosity.

    *Purchasing the book is not mandatory and participants will still be able to derive value even without reading the book.

    In this session we will explore:

    1. How are you curious?

    2. How does your client experience curiosity?

    3. How curious should the coach be?

    4. How do we match coach to client in terms of levels of curiosity?

    5. Why does it matter?

    6. Optional case study from the group

    Specific supporting information is available in Ruth’s book, Be Hopeful, Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Curious – Chapter 8 – Exploration

    A New Coaching Paradigm; The Power of the Arts to Transform Individuals and Teams

    November 15th , 2024 
    11:30am - 1:00pm 
    ET

    CCEs - CC .75, RD .75


    When we think of the arts, we tend to conjure up museums, orchestra halls and theatres. But what if we found ways to actually bring the tools and practices of the visual, musical, theatre arts into coaching relationships in ways that drove transformation at the personal, team and organizational levels?

    Thanks to a major 10-year grant through the National Science Foundation we now have research that demonstrates the power of arts- based experiential learning to do exactly that! Roll up your sleeves! Through a combination of art making, presentation, group discussion we will introduce you to a new approach to leadership and personal coaching that inspires and transforms. NO art background is needed!

    Through this 90 minute, highly interactive program participants will walk away with:

    • An understanding of the theory and science behind Arts-Based Experiential Learning (ABEL)
    • Practical examples of arts-based experiential exercises immediately implementable in a coaching relationship
    • A case study which demonstrates the impact of ABEL on individuals and teams
    • Introduction to a breakthrough method for measuring impact of coaching and training on clients.
    • Opportunities to reflect on and share learnings in breakout sessions.

    Fred Mandell, PhD is a founder and principal with Creating Futures That Work, a consultancy that draws on the precision and focus of science and the insights and skills of the arts to elevate leader effectiveness in the areas of collaboration, innovation, organizational culture and professional development. Prior to establishing CFTW, Fred served as a senior executive with American Express where he built leading marketing and sales businesses and ran a multi-billion-dollar investment company. He has taught the number one rated leadership series at MIT Sloan School of Management called The Leader as Artist since 2013. The Leader as Artist series is unique in the way it demonstrates the application of the art making process to innovative leadership and organizational vitality.

    Join Fred as he explores how we can further develop and enhance your coaching skills using this innovative and exciting approach!

    Keep Moving Forward Even in Difficult Times

    Mastermind Series 

    Session 2 – November 18, 4:30 – 6:00pm


    One of Ruth’s favorite coaching tools is character strengths. W can learn to identify strengths through storytelling and observation. 

    When coaching clients know their strengths they are energized, uplifted, and empowered. They are more likely to be engaged at work, with family and friends, and in their community.

    And there is plenty of opportunity to dial up and dial down strengths as needed. In fact, the closest thing there is in this model to a weakness is a misused strength.  

    Join Ruth Pearce, ACC, (PCC application submitted), JD, PMP facilitates this Mastermind and guides us in exploring how we as coaches can work with our clients to activate hope, leverage, and hone strengths, recognize, and cultivate bravery and fine tune curiosity.

    The Mastermind series is based upon Ruth’s book Be Hopeful, Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Curious and will explore the four pillars of Hope, Strength, Bravery, and Curiosity.

    *Purchasing the book is not mandatory and participants will still be able to derive value even without reading the book.

    In this session we will explore:

    1. What is a strength?

    2. What makes a signature strength signature?

    3. When do our strengths get in the way?

    4. How to use strengths work with clients

    5. Modeling strengths optimization to and for clients by knowing, showing, and growing our own!

    6. Optional case study from the group


    Specific supporting information is available in Ruth’s book, Be Hopeful, Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Curious – Chapter 6 – Motivation
