"Building a Group Coaching Collective"
Presenters:  Holly Sahud and Reba Woodard
Date and Time: May 16, 2022 from 11:00am - Noon MT

So, you're committed to being a coach and coaching clients one on one……wonderful! But, what about group coaching? How could that enhance your coaching practice to reach more clients? How is it different from individual or team coaching? How does this work? Where should you begin? These questions and more will be discussed during this interactive webinar.

BIO
Holly Sahud 130x160My name is Holly Sahud, and I am unapologetically proud New Yorker, who has lived in Colorado for 25 years, so the accent is gone! I am an ICF Associate Certified Coach who has been coaching leaders, high-potential employees, business owners, and career transitioners for over a decade. I have coached leaders in industries ranging from Fortune 80 financial services forms to small business owners. My passion is partnering with individuals who are ready to invest in their own growth to create a life, personal and professional where they flourish. Supporting clients to explore and unpack their strengths, mindsets and behaviors creates the space needed to lean into who they really are and what they want to achieve. This is movement. This is when change happens. I approach coaching with authenticity, curiosity, and accountability. And of course, let us not forget empathy, humor, and compassion! Our work is always based in empathy, self-discovery, and possibilities. Helping individuals tap into their potential so they can reap the rewards of activating their strengths, clearing limiting beliefs, and thriving is my purpose.

"Reimagine Courageous Conversations as the Norm in Retaining Talent in the Workplace"
Presenter:  Emma Doyle
Date and Time: May 17, 2022 from 9:00 - 10:00AM MT

There has never been a more critical time than now for organizations to create environments where all team members feel comfortable speaking their truth. Many leaders and managers are exhausted and in this hybrid work environment, it is all too easy to hide behind a screen and avoid having difficult, yet necessary, conversations in order to grow the business goals. In the end, team members are not voicing their concerns because they feel unsupported, and consequently, workplaces are losing talent all too frequently. In this interactive talk, we will focus on important coaching skills, such as creating a safe environment for employees to be heard, the forgotten art of truly listening, and unveiling the Courageous Conversation Formula. Can you imagine a future where courageous conversations at invited, normal, and help to retain talent in the workplace? At the end of the day, your ROI = IOR (an improvement on relationships) and talent is not nearly as important as taking action in living your authentic truth. I look forward to collaborating with my fellow ICF Colorado Coaches.

Imagine a future where the mystery is taken out of leadership. The Lead, Develop, Care framework is a simple model that allows leaders to do a quick analysis of their leadership challenges and make adjustments for greater effectiveness. Coaches can quickly provide an overview of this framework and use it during coaching sessions to ask questions that empower clients to identify and address issues in leadership. It is also a great tool for strategic planning and building collaborative teams. Best of all, this framework is compatible with whatever authors, models, or tools your clients are already using.
