Coaching for Transformation: Using NVC to Facilitate Personal Change
A Telephone (Telecourse) Program with CNVC Certified Trainer First NVC Session Free!Martha Lasley
from Troy, Pennsylvania, USA

6 Tuesdays, September 9 through October 14, 2008 • 5:00 - 6:30 PM  PDT. First Class is Free!

Course Objectives:

In this course, you will develop coaching skills to help people connect with what is most alive in them, to help people understand their deepest needs, values, purpose and vision, and explore the changes they wish to create.

Each week, you will partner with another participant to coach each other to prioritize goals and to take action on issues that matter most. While coaching others, you’ll also find new opportunities to build inner awareness, set stretch goals and have a positive impact on society. To maximize the opportunity for personal transformation, all the coaching will be done on real issues – no role plays.

Exploring passion and yearning, you'll help clients create an action plan that resonates with deep needs and core values. To assist you along the way, you’ll practice coaching using an NVC version of the GROW model, which is a tool for helping people set Goals, explore their Reality empathically, discover new Options, and determine their Will to take action. The process includes deepening emotional intelligence, building awareness of needs, and taking responsibility for achieving a desired outcome. You’ll learn new ways to uncover strategies for meeting needs, without dictating, giving advice or disempowering the people you coach.

Learning Goals:

The following goals will guide your learning and work throughout this course.

  • Help clients articulate personal values, purpose, and vision to establish a foundation for a fulfilling life that energizes and motivates them.
  • Demonstrate the principles of effective coaching by working with other participants and peers to help them identify goals, deepen awareness of needs, explore options and create a plan for accomplishing those goals.
  • Assess your coaching skills and develop competencies to help you work with clients to build awareness and take action based on needs.
  • Help clients connect with their energetic life force, inner power and personal resources that can help them achieve their vision.

Class Description:

This course is divided into 6 sessions with 90 minute telecourses each week and 60 minutes of coaching practice each week (four practice sessions in weeks 2, 3, 4, & 5). Each module builds on the last, so I encourage you to participate every week. All of the work is optional, but I encourage you to set up practice coaching sessions with classmates or people outside the class so you get the most out of the course. All telecourses will be taped so that you can listen later. Although each session is planned and structured, I'm well known for tossing the agenda and going with what's most alive!
