Session Outline

Coaching Moments® are all around us, but we may not recognize them. These opportunities to help others learn, grow and develop are hidden within the day-to-day interactions we commonly call “problems.” Coaching in the Moment® is a highly interactive learning experience that enables participants to create coachable moments and use the elegantly simple Untying the Knot® approach to coaching conversations so that others can identify their own path forward.  Participants learn how to use their own insight to ignite the insight of others, creating engagement that leads to action. Coaching-based leadership is essential in our ever-changing world, because regardless of how big or small a change is, it happens “in the moment” when people come face-to-face with the reality of doing something differently. That’s when a coaching conversation can make the difference between someone stepping out and taking a risk or retreating to the familiar. Coaching is the grease that turns the wheel of change for individuals and organizations.
