ICF Accredited Coach Training Program

Darwin was right! It’s the most fit and adaptable organizations that survive and thrive.

A “fit” organization is built on people who …

• Are adaptable and resourceful
• Recognize and build on strengths
• Are principle-oriented and goal-directed
• Assume responsibility for themselves, and avoid over-responsibility for others
• Articulate their values, and realize how they align with the organization’s
• See the creative opportunities in change, conflict and challenge
• Are secure within themselves, yet recognize their interdependence on others
• Hear & evaluate the viewpoints of others, & communicate effectively without antagonizing
• Can discard old beliefs in favor of new
• Love their work!

Adler School of Professional Coaching’s services are for organizations
that are committed to producing extraordinary results.

Your organization can have teams that see a shared vision and deliver peak performance. This requires people to stretch and shift perspective about what's possible. Participants produce extraordinary results that are measurable and sustainable. Coaching skills develop better leaders and workers, while moving individuals toward greater fulfillment in their work and life.

Leader As Coach:

A “Coach Approach to Leadership” is the single most effective method available to increase performance and professional development, build relationships, improve communications, and enhance engagement. Today’s leaders are expected to communicate effectively, to bring out the best in others, to build strong relationships, and to engage and inspire. Managers are required to be effective coaches to employees, but there’s little consistency or understanding in the workplace about what that really means. When coaching is ineffective, or even avoided, opportunities to maximize individual and organizational potential are lost. It’s like a slow leak of your most valuable assets

"Our careers, our companies, our relationships and our very lives succeed or fail… one conversation at a time.  The conversation is the relationship.  The conversation yields the results.  The most damaging conversations are the ones we are not having."   -- Susan Scott, Fierce Conversations

What critical conversations are missing in your organization?

How effectively are your leaders communicating… with their teams? across silos? with their leaders?

What is the impact of those communication gaps on… productivity? engagement? retention? bottom line?
