Three experiential breakout sessions where you will gain immediate, actionable tools. We call these experiential because you’ll have devoted time to practice and develop an action plan to immediately apply what you learned. For each breakout session, we use the framework of What (What did I learn?), So What (What does it mean to me?) and Now What (How will I use the information?). You’ll also be guided in application for each session by your table host who is a certified International Coach Federation (ICF) coach.
The three breakout session topics are:
Coaching 101 – What, Why and How (Stephanie Brown) – What is coaching and why do I need it and how will it help me? We’ll also cover how to find the right coach and how to convince your company to pay for it.
Wheel of Life – What it means and how to use it? (Speaker TBD)– We’ll take time to look back over your life, where have you been, and what lessons have you learned? With that insight, look at where you are currently focusing your energy, and decide if that’s what you want in 2024. We’ll wrap up by making some plans of steps you can take to make 2024 exceptional.
Your Leadership and Coaching (Speaker TBD) – We are all leaders. We always lead ourselves; we might lead others, lead leaders, or lead an organization. How does leading yourself change through this progressive journey, and how do we ensure we are self-aware and in command of our emotions every step of the way.
We’ve heard that you want more networking! We have included extensive opportunities to network with fellow women in the CI channel – at the sessions, breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks and a happy hour.
