What if there was another way to increase your coaching client’s self-awareness, enhance their effectiveness in relationships, and decrease their conflict both personally and professionally? There is another way – it’s called behavior flexibility. During this presentation, Darlene will introduce the concept of behavior flexibility through a highly valid and reliable personality assessment called FIRO B: Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation.
During this interactive session, you will learn:
• the key features & benefits of the FIRO B assessment
• how to use the tool to repair broken relationships both in the workplace and at home
• how to take good functional relationships to a higher level
With the FIRO approach, your coaching clients can instantly recognize why certain interactions are less fulfilling than they should be, and what they can do to make them even better.

CBS Money Watch did some excellent research to correct commonly-espoused fallacies about coaching.

For my coaching practice, the facts behind #7 ring true. My wonderful leadership coaching clients are front-line supervisors and managers who work with me as an objective ear to explore their challenges and desires as leaders. I help them put the GO! in their goals.  Let’s talk about doing the same for you!

Myth 7: Executive coaching is only good for upper management / Coaching is only good for entry level employees.

Fact: Coaching is good for anyone who is motivated to create a better life. Initially professional coaching or executive coaching was for upper management, and some organizations still focus their coaching efforts on their top performers. For example, a column by the Economic Times titled “A Personal Coach” says coaching is “designed to help senior leaders create and execute breakthrough ideas, develop strategic pathways and set milestones. Companies across the board are similarly opting for coaching to help their high-potential executives perform in larger, rapidly-changing roles in a globalized world.”

But professional coaching isn’t just for the executive suite. The CIPD research study shows just under 5% of coaching is restricted to senior executives. Now, more and more companies are recognizing the powerful benefits of providing coaching to rank and file employees. For example, online shoe and clothing company Zappos.com, known for their outstanding commitment to creating a culture of unparalleled customer service (they even teach this through Zappos Insights), has a full-time goals coach who works with any employee – not just management – on helping them create better lives.
