While there has been an increased push for diversity initiatives in companies, diversity in and of itself is not enough. I suspect that you yearn, not just for “a seat at the table”, but to feel as if you are fully accepted, understood, and valued by those you work with. In short, to be fully included.

Because of this natural yearning, we all have a more powerful endgame for organizations is to grow from diversity to inclusion in order to maximize the engagement and talent of its people.

How do you overcome the barriers that get in the way of moving from just an acknowledgment that inclusion is important, to real action that can spark lasting change?

The answer lies within the cornerstone of driving results within organizations: TEAMS. Well-developed teams provide the catalyst for adopting and practicing behaviors that can overcome the barriers to inclusion.

This talk provides you with a greater awareness of how you can be a change agent for more Inclusive Teaming for yourself and your organization.

"You must use Social Media to grow your business.” “Effortlessly grow to six-figures while you sleep!”

Quickly amass a HUGE WAITING LIST of high paying clients!

Are you getting bombarded by “gurus” who make it all sound so simple and easy? No wonder we feel overwhelmed, paralyzed and (think) we hate sales & marketing. We’re being lied to! Have you noticed that “the loud” folks saying this are the MARKETERS trying to sell you the secret pill, magic potion, THE formula to overnight success? You are a smart coach. In this program, you will not be TOLD to do anything. Rather, we will share the following principles for you do adopt if they make sense for you: Creating and growing a coaching business is not “easy.” But it can be “SIMPLE.”

There are no “musts” in marketing. There’s what works, and what works FOR YOU. 

Sales & Marketing = SERVING

THE ICF CORE COMPETENCIES are our guide!

Let’s quiet the noise. You don’t NEED social media, fancy funnels, an app, high tech systems, fancy software, or to be selling all the time. Heck you don’t even need “digital marketing.” You CAN have these things, but you don’t NEED any of them.

There is a “system” for growing and maintaining your business. YOUR System! You’ll walk away with improved self-awareness and a practical plan to help you grow your business in a manner that is ethical, dignified, and concrete...no empty promises.

Much of our psychological functioning happens outside of our conscious awareness and control. This can lead us to think and act in ways that are inconsistent with our values and beliefs. As coaches, it is critical that we investigate and identify and interrupt our own unconscious beliefs in order to deliver maximum impact to our clients. In this session, you will learn what unconscious bias is, how it is formed, and what we can do to minimize its influence on our behavior. We will also perform a deep investigation of our own biases, and build an intervention plan for identifying and eliminating bias in the future.

ICF Philadelphia is excited to announce that we will be offering Coaching Supervision Demonstrations. Ken Giglio, Principal of Mindful Leadership Consulting, and a certified coach supervisor, will be leading supervision groups along with Lynn DeLay, Certified Coaching Supervisor, based on Mindful Leadership’s Tri-Lens Coaching Supervision Model™. The sessions will be tailored toward the unique challenges that come with coaching situations for coaches working with clients internally or externally. These virtual Supervision Demonstrations will be offered twice in 2023 and will include 1.5 hours of demonstration.

Coaching Supervision is a collaborative learning practice to continually build the capacity of the coach through reflective dialogue for the benefit of the coaches, their clients, and their organizations (adapted ICF definition). Group supervision uniquely provides a space for collective reflection and learning. Coaches explore the depth and breadth of their coaching work through three lenses—self as coach; relationship with the client; and influence of the system/s in which the client works. The group experience is designed to introduce coaches to the experience of supervision through demonstration. Coaching Supervision as a practice builds a coach’s confidence, competence, connection, creativity, and compassion.

The ICF recognizes coaching supervision as part of a coach’s continuing professional development, and up to 10 hours of coaching supervision (delivering and/or receiving) will be counted toward Continuing Coach Education requirements. (Note: ongoing coaching supervision is a required practice by European and Australian coaching bodies, and it is also required by a growing number of corporations for coaches to obtain work.)

Pre-work for Group Coaching Supervision:

Please come prepared to present to the group a coaching case or theme/s from your coaching practice that you are curious about, have questions around, or may be struggling with. Reflect on how this coaching situation is impacting you and your relationship with your coaching client, and also reflect on how the system in which the client works might be impacting the coaching engagement. Ask yourself,

What am I noticing?

What am I sensing in my body and my surroundings?

Schedule of Group Coaching Supervision Demonstrations: 6/14/2023 and 10/25/2023

Learning Objectives:

1 - Been introduced to an integrative coaching supervision model (Tri-Lens) related to reflective practice for learning and development that builds capacity to view coaching work from a systems perspective

2 - Experimented and observed coaching supervision conversations to deepen insight and broaden awareness of how best to engage coaching clients within organizational systems

3 - Assessed their coaching work through a systemic, reflective practice

ICF Philadelphia is thrilled to offer Coaching to the Core: A Training Series on the ICF Competencies as part of our 2023 Community of Practice series. Lisa Pachence - MCC, Owner of LP Coaching, Mentor Coach and Speaker - will lead an engaging 4-part series that introduces the ICF Core Competencies, and helps coaches deepen their client impact using the competency framework. These quarterly virtual meetings are 1.5 hours of active application of the ICF Core Competencies.

This Core Competency series is designed to Engage, Enlighten, and Elevate your relationship with the core competencies and, consequently, your coaching practice. Expect to:

1) ENGAGE with the new core competencies, with your colleagues, and with common client challenges to deepen the agility of your coaching.

2) ENLIGHTEN yourself with the intention behind each competency, seeing how the art of coaching comes to life through this new framework.

3) ELEVATE the power of your coaching by revealing new insights, enhancing your skills and confidence, and acquiring new methods to increase your impact and strengthen your stand as a coach.

To deliver the highest level of professionalism and impact in coaching, the current ICF Core Competencies were developed in 2019 and implemented in 2021. The Eight Core Competencies now provide a stronger and clearer framework to the ethics, agreements, trust-building, and partnership that are fundamental to the coaching industry. Understanding and integrating the core competencies is a crucial part of a coach’s continuing professional development, and participation will earn Continuing Coach Education credits.
