Description
The CDI Advanced Skills Foundation Program is a three-day comprehensive train-the-trainer program focused on providing participants with the opportunity to experiment with new approaches in demonstrating and applying Coaching Core Competencies. We support you in anchoring and integrating a deeper understanding of the competencies, and will effectively prepare you to teach and mentor your future learners.Program participants will have many opportunities to learn about the CDI approach to teaching ICF Coaching Core Competencies by simulating delivery of mini lessons. Exercises, practices and concepts discussed during training will be sequenced to deepen and accelerate your learning. Six follow-up teleclasses will support your practice and business development. We will explore new questions that arise for the participants, answer questions about client application and continue to deepen our understanding of the competencies.
At CDI, we believe all learning stems from integrating personal experience. Participants are encouraged to be fully present and willing to explore their own experience with the intention of transferring the learning to their own group facilitation. During training we invite you to explore your feeling/sensing body, tap into your inner knowing, integrate your understanding, and create a deeper learning. This process allows us to set aside previously conditioned responses and open up to new possibilities.
