  Community Meeting 
  

  
  

  Session Description: People tend to think about motivation as something that some people have and others don’t. Because motivation impacts everything we do, we all possess the same amount of motivation. The trick is not finding extra motivation - it’s becoming more aware of how motivation actually works and what truly motivates you. This session will teach you how to help clients examine their motivation on a deeper level and adjust or refocus their motivation in a way that helps them fulfill their potential and achieve more of their most important goals.

  Learning Objectives: 

  1) To help coaches understand the unique dynamics of motivation and how they correlate with each person’s individual pursuits and personal growth.

  2) To equip coaches with the ability to coach clients on the topic of motivation in a way that evokes deep awareness and enhances action steps and follow through.

  3) To provide practical tools and frameworks that coaches can use immediately in sessions with clients.

  Your happiness and success depend on your working relationships. The people you manage. How well you work with your boss. The way collaboration happens with colleagues and peers. How you connect with important prospects and key clients.

  But the hard truth is this: most of us leave the health and fate of these relationships to chance. We say “Hi,” exchange pleasantries, hope for the best, and immediately get into the work.

  Soon (sometimes it takes weeks, sometimes minutes), the first cracks appear. A misunderstanding. An expectation not met. A low-grade irritation. A random act of weirdness. Different ways of seeing the world or getting things done. A flare-up under stress.

  Every relationship becomes suboptimal at some point, whether it’s a good one that goes off the rails or one that was poor from the start.

  When suboptimal happens, most of us don’t know what to do about it. We blame them, or ourselves, or the universe (or maybe all three). We get all the feelings: sad, let down, irritated, frustrated.

  But mostly we are resigned to the fact that this is what happens: relationships always get a little broken, or a little stale, or a little worse. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre. Carry on.

  You will leave with a renewed optimism about the quality of their working relationships, a determination to actively manage them, and a plan to get things started.

  Learning Objectives:  

  In this practical session, you'll learn how to reverse that trend and build the best possible working relationship with anyone. Well, almost anyone. You will:

  1. learn the three attributes of a resilient and long-lasting relationship

  2. understand how you can aspire to “the best possible relationship” with every one of your key working relationships

  3. investigate the one awkward but essential conversation that will set up success

  4. take a deep dive into one of the Keystone Conversation questions, and prepare your best

  CCE:  1.5 Resource Development

  Uncover the beauty and power of metaphors in your coaching conversations through this engaging webinar. Metaphors are deeply woven into the fabric of our daily conversations, often ignored if not clearly obvious. Explore how visual language impacts your clients.

  Renowned scholar John Geary famously said, "We instinctively resort to metaphors when describing anything abstract: ideas, feelings, thoughts, emotions, concepts." Dive into the neuroscience of metaphors and comprehend how they illuminate our minds. Metaphors not only enhance our self-expression but also serve as potent tools for instigating outcomes, elucidating complexities, and fostering profound transformations.

  Humans don't use metaphors accidentally. Metaphors introduced by your clients can serve as powerful keys, unlocking their self-awareness and inner potential. By mastering the art of using your clients' metaphors rather than interjecting your own, you can facilitate more meaningful and impactful conversations.

  Metaphors provide vivid insights into your clients' identities, deeply ingrained beliefs, self-perceptions, and aspirations. Understanding and utilizing these metaphorical expressions can offer a robust tool for fostering curiosity and facilitating deeper understanding. The course also includes a pre-recorded coaching demo to assess and augment your understanding of metaphors.

  Join us on a journey into the power of metaphors today!

  Key Takeaways

  1. Neuroscience + Metaphors. How metaphors impact our neural wiring and how to pay attention to the embodied metaphor as a tool.

  2. The need for Embodied Learning for Sustainable changes.

  3. The power of using metaphors in coaching conversation to create greater awareness, anchor insights, as well as using them to create agreements and move from topic to success measures.

  4.  How metaphors weave through the ICF Core Competencies.
