Topics and Learning Modules
Module 1: Mindful Listening
You will begin training by gaining a strong foundational understanding of the THREE CRITICAL SKILLS necessary for an effective coaching session that gets results. Begin with these and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a highly-effective, sought-after coach. These are the skills that many coaches miss early on and as a result, they struggle to help clients get the results they need. We begin our training on a powerful note, establishing a strong foundation for your growth as a developer of people and conduit for success.
Module 2: The Structure of a Coaching Session
We demystify the process of a powerful coaching session by giving you a structure you will use to conduct each and every session. This simple, yet powerful method will act as an invisible hand in each coaching session, guiding your communication and creating a safe, strong space for your client to get clarity, solutions and move to action to see real results immediately. This one module has transformed the results of even the most highly experienced coaches who have come to us for training. For brand new coaches, it means a strong foundation on which to build your coaching expertise.
Module 3: Direct Communication
The most successful coaches are brilliant and courageous communicators who build trust with clients and help them break through blocks. We teach you the 8 distinctive listening traits that will give you key information that shapes the powerful questions essential to any transformative coaching conversation. You will learn 7 consistent behaviors that build trust and perhaps most importantly, we will share the one, irrefutable habit every successful coach practices without fail – and it is the habit that invokes fear in every coach and is most likely to sabotage your success as a coach. We’ll show you how to overcome that fear so you can break through to a level of coaching that most never attain.
Module 4: Coaching for Resilience
At the heart of the necessity for coaching is a need for resilience in the face of life’s biggest opportunities and challenges. When faced with an opportunity, will you step up or sit back? When faced with a setback, will you get up or give up? Successful people think differently. They have a level of psychological toughness and resilience that enables them to see a vision and seize, persevere, make adjustments and build supportive, reciprocal relationships that enhance their biggest dreams and goals. But how exactly do they think differently? In this module, you will learn to build the unique kind of self-awareness that dramatically increases resilience – and you will learn the THREE CRITICAL PIECES OF INFORMATION that are foundational for building resilience. We will deconstruct the steps to “think differently” and show you how to apply those steps at pivotal moments in a coaching session.
Module 5: The Elements of Well-Being
This model is your introduction to applied positive psychology. You will learn the research-based six elements of well-being and how they will boost your and your clients’ ability to overcome challenges, reach goals faster and build higher levels of happiness. You’ll learn the reason why positive psychology is a superb underpinning for your work as a coach – empowering you to transform your own life while simultaneously equipping you to help others transform theirs. Extracting the most relevant research about productivity, happiness, and well-being, we help you understand key principles that will help you coach your clients with the background knowledge that will distinguish you as a coach.
Module 6: Character Strengths in Action
You will learn the six categories of universally-celebrated strengths, identify your own signature strengths and how you can leverage them to pinpoint and fulfill your unique purpose. And we will show you the keys to identifying strengths in others and using them to help clients create unique solutions that accelerate their results.
Module 7: Cultivating Happiness & Positive Emotion
It has been said that happiness is the one thing we pursue for its own sake. Everything else in life – whether relationships or career or money – we pursue because we believe it will make us happy. But there is another benefit to happiness – positive emotion dramatically increases your chances for success. In Module 7, Cultivating Happiness, coaches learn the research behind what builds authentic happiness and how you can create more of it in your own life and help clients cultivate it intentionally.
Module 8: Action and Accountability
What makes coaching work is that it moves a person to action. Forward movement and the added accountability of a skilled coach is a powerful combination. You will learn the key phrases, TOOLS, and insights to inspire action and create the consistent accountability that makes you a tremendously valuable asset to any client.
Module 9: Business Development Day
(included only with the 3-day registration)
It is essential to have strong coaching skills, but it is also important to have a plan in place to land great clients consistently. At the CaPP Institute, we teach you to do that. The entire third day of the Coach Training Intensive is a powerful, interactive business development workshop in which you will create a proven tactical, strategic plan of action for building your coaching practice. We will guide you step by step using the five building blocks of business development and leaving no questions unanswered. You will walk away with a written plan and the inspiration and tools to implement it.
