WHAT: Six meetings of 2 hours each, with a minimum of 6 participants and a maximum of 12 participants. The goal is to provide a “roundtable” experience for participants, in which they can confidently receive coaching on 6 topics related to their personal development goals.
WHY: The coaching experience will act as a “booster shot” to deepen thinking and cement skills acquired in training. A growing body of research indicates that is an especially effective way to extend strengths in emotional intelligence and critical thinking.
HOW: This is not a “support group” but a practice lab for skill building. Each 2-hour session will begin with 20-30 minutes of instruction on the topic. The coach will vary the method to keep the sessions fresh and interactive. Potential activities include exercises, self-assessments, case studies, lecturettes, or DVD segments chosen to provide some “stretch” related to the topic. The coach will deliberately model the skills associated with the topic, and will plan the session carefully to achieve desired outcomes.
TOPICS: All of the subjects and topics listed below are highly relevant to Emotional Intelligence. Choose any 6 that appeal to the group; each topic can stand on its own.
