"The Executive and Business coaching industry is growing by about 40% a year." -The Economist, Dec. 2006
 
 
Coach Mastery Series (CMS) - for invited CMC Graduates
  October 22 - 25, 2008 in Los Angeles (Orange County), CA  
     
Conducted as a part of the Behavioral Coaching Institute's Continuing Professional Development Program for CMC Graduates only.
This course is designed to:
  • Transform experienced coaches into exceptional executive coaches.
  • Give coaches a unique opportunity for in-depth development for individuals seeking to be at the top of their field.
Every year the Institute conducts a special, advanced professional development course. The Coach Mastery Series is a 3-day course where coaches gather to deepen their coaching practice, building and further developing the knowledge and skills gained through the Master Coach programme and their post-course experiences of working with clients and internal colleagues.

In the last quarter of 2007 (last year) we received an unprecedented demand for entry into this elite program. Given the large amount of requests for entry already received for late 2008 programmes, we have decided to open the course for enrolment by invitation only for a limited time .

The widespread call for such a program reflects the growing maturity of the professional coaching discipline, including the reality in the marketplace that corporations are looking for coaches who are not just good but are outstanding.

For over ten years BCI has been at the forefront of niche, elite coach training. The Coach Mastery Series is another element that differentiates the Institute from other providers and gives graduates a market edge. Spaces are strictly limited on the Coach Mastery Series. Places are being offered by the Institute to graduates who have the potential to take advantage of the program to go to even higher level.

As part of our commitment to support the ongoing professional development of our graduates, the Coach Mastery series will also enhance the invitee's career by providing an environment for networking, benchmarking and dialogue with other successful peers/recent graduates.
BCI's annual, elite Master Class for select individuals:
Advanced knowledge, skills development and the understanding of current professional practice issues are all key aspects of training to be an elite coaching practitioner.

Special Note:
Master Classes are also used by our Institute to identify the 'best-of-the-best' to join our International Coaching Panel -comprising specialist CMC Graduates to work with some of our global corporate clients on the various local and international contracts on offer.
Description:

Course Content:
During the Coach Mastery Series (CMS) we examine three coaching themes most asked for by our graduates in the previous year. For each theme, we focus on:
  • the underlying theory and empirical support.
  • learning how to use advanced knowledge and skills via deep immersion practical exercises eg:. participants will break into dyads or triads to obtain in depth 'hands-on' experience of the theories/concepts and themes introduced.
  • debating and having dialogue about questions which are often not asked by coaches working solo or in small groups.
The 3-day intensive workshop covers three primary themes:
  1. Coaching and Neuroscience:
    Today, advanced 21st Century Coaching (learning/change) works in two fundamental ways: 1. Behaviorally -The software/our skill sets --explains how through the use of validated methodology and tools (that have a psychological foundation) people can learn how to positively change aspects of their behavior (what we do or say). 2. Biologically: The hardware/the brain --explains how we can physically change/re-wire the brain itself. Recent studies by behavioral neuroscientists now provide us a clear scientific explanation as to the process of change and how a person can train their brain to change themselves and their performance.

    How to increase higher level Mental Skills and even Intelligence!
    This unique learning module shows how through guided coaching a person is now able to change their brain's physical structure, alter their mind's perceptual experiences and effect changes in behavior, expectations and choices etc. By engaging in targeted, structured coaching exercises the coachee is now able to develop key cognitive skills to enhance their capacity to succeed. This "hand-on" module guides you how to use valid and proven exercises designed to increase a person's cognitive functions -such as: processing information more quickly and effectively, improved decision-making processes -complete more decision cycles per fixed unit of time, increasing IQ, performing multiple tasks simultaneously (multi-tasking), retrieving and acting on information more quickly and efficiently, learning new information more easily, increasing the power of attention, concentration and awareness, reducing anxiety -being able to concentrate in the presence of distractions and developing faster physical reflexes and sharper visual discrimination.

    These cutting-edge exercises can by used by all coaches with all clients (whatever the type of intervention they are engaged in -from remedial to developmental etc) to enhance their ability to succeed both in their professional and personal lives. These remarkable, new tools open a wider marketplace of practice for professional people developers.

  2. Coaching High Achievers:
    For coaches who wish to work with high achievers, this theme will provide an accelerated insight into coaching elite professionals. For coaches who work with high achievers already, the theme will serve to increase your coaching impact and personal effectiveness in working with clients.

    This theme will focus on coaching high achievers including CEOs, high potential individuals and clients who wish to accelerate their professional success in a short space of time as an explicit goal for coaching. The theme explores how to work with these types of clients and answers the question 'Is the coaching relationship and dynamics with high achievers similar to that in existence with other clients? '. Also to be included will be; discussions about critical program design features, case studies of coaching impact compared and contrasted and, strategies explored for best implementing the programs. The goal of 'Being of value to clients' is explored. What does coaching 'value' signify for a high achiever? How is 'value' measured by high achievers who embark on coaching? How should this awareness influence how we work as coaches with groups of high potential individuals?

    Key support mechanisms and various success measures will also be explored and practical suggestions provided to help you design interventions for both maximum ‘payback’ and rapid ‘payforward’ which will grab the attention of key stakeholders and sponsors in a business. These and many other practices and questions will be explored, debated and answered through guided role plays, interactive discussions and modelled coaching sessions.

  3. Transformational Coaching for Managers and Leaders:
    Transformational coaching processes are vital for coaches looking to develop the capacity in leaders to create a healthy, positive and empowering workplace environment. The advanced, coaching processes are also necessary leadership tools to create a high-performance, feedback-rich culture. Creating coaching environments with powerful feedback infrastructures will be explored and designed. Today's sophisticated coach (as the "advisor-coach") is required to instruct management/leadership in the use of coaching tools and processes to help them solve their day-to-day myriad people and business issues.

    Transformational Coaching Techniques and models use the future as its context and allow the master coach to create an environment of discipline and structure by which the client can generate the actions necessary to realize that future. The techniques and practices discussed in this series will include behavioral exercises for the individual client as well as larger groups. Emphasis will be placed on the power of contextualization and using actionable processes to enhance client outcomes. Most important for the busy leader, these processes enable leaders to "walk the talk" and generate unprecedented results through and in others. These coaching skills will explored via experiential exercises, modeled coaching sessions and opportunities to experience first hand the process and power if transformational coaching.
