The Pressing Need
The demand for coaching is at an all time high.
In the last ten years the coaching industry has exploded. Membership of the International Coach Federation has more than tripled.??A report??by the market research firm IBISWorld at the end of 2014 said coaching is a $1 billion industry in the U.S. alone. [Marketplace]
Millennials now represent the largest percentage of the US workforce (32%). with similar trends globally. An increasing number of Millennials now occupy senior leadership positions.
Yet????more than six in ten Millennials (63 percent) say their ???leadership skills are not being fully developed.??? ??Unfortunately, little progress is being made in this area.
Research findings from another survey adds to the pressure for action from another dimension.
The Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2016 report highlights the international crisis related to Employee Engagement.
Employee engagement, like culture, has become a CEO-level issue.
Nearly nine in ten executives (85 percent) in the 2016??survey rated Engagement as an important (38 percent) or very important (48 percent) priority for their companies.
Engagement??at all??levels is now an imperative for organizations who want to ??retain their talent and remain competitive.
Under-developed Skills
Last year, when asked to rate the skills and attributes on which businesses place the most value (and are prepared to pay the highest salaries), Millennials pointed to ???leadership??? as being the most prized. This was mentioned by 39 percent, but only 24 percent thought this was a strong personal trait of theirs upon graduation (a gap of 15 percentage points).
Millennials fully appreciate that leadership skills are important to business and recognize that, in this respect, their development may be far from complete. But, based on the current results, Millennials believe businesses are not doing enough to bridge the gap to ensure a new generation of business leaders is created. [Deloitte Millennial Survey 2016]
Call to action
These imperatives demand that organizations equip team leaders and volunteer mentors with competencies that would normally be the domain of a business or life coach. Issues like working to enhance inclusiveness, listening more effectively and empowering colleagues must now be addressed by team leaders, who largely recognize that they are not equipped to handle them.
Testimonial
As a mid-career information professional, I wanted to expand my horizons. I identified coaching as a suitable option, mainly as a means of giving back.?? So, I completed the 9-week online interactive ICF/ SHRM accredited Certified Behavioural Coaching course – a perfect fit. It was a unique educational experience in coaching, mentorship and leadership behaviour which provided a framework to diagnose and build successful collaborative relationships. It empowered me to effect change through a new understanding of behavioural styles through self-analysis and application of the Extended DISC framework.
The facilitators were knowledgeable, patient and engaging in imparting the concepts.?? Practical tools such as cases and interactions with practitioners were used to demonstrate concepts and give insights into the complex behavioural issues inside and outside the workplace.
The online course is conveniently scheduled for after work and week-ends. If you want to make a positive impact on the lives of others, I strongly recommend it. ????Lurline Cummings -??Information Resource Specialist at Grace Kennedy Ltd.
The Corporate Package is designed to address pressing leadership development needs while putting in place long-term structures to improve performance and address low staff engagement.
Leadership/Coaching Development
The changing profile of the workforce and related attitudinal changes have led to a situation in which leaders at all levels must increasingly apply??coaching skills. This certification addresses that imperative directly.
The Corporate package includes formal leadership and coaching certification accredited by??the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Society For Human Resource Management (SHRM).
Sets of 2 leadership professionals complete the leader/coach certification. They each earn 36 SHRM Professional Development Credits.
Employee Engagement??
Deloitte surveys and supporting observations emphasize the critically low levels of engagement of the staff. This in turn impacts performance and profitability.
The Corporate Package includes equipping leaders to facilitate??Employee Engagement in-house discourse with??members of staff.
The value of the Employee Engagement intervention more than covers??the required investment in the further development of the leadership professionals.
Each certified leader/coach uses the DISCerning Communication handbook to guide 20 or more hours of webinar or seminar room discourse directed at using the DISCerning Model of Communication to boost Employee Engagement and strengthen teamwork.
Viable options for the in-house intervention include:
10 x 2-hour webinars/seminars with the same group over 3 months (up to 35)
10 x 2-hour sessions with different groups impacting 300+
NOTE:??There is no limit on the numbers or the duration of this intervention. SHRM will only allocate 20 PDCs under the Advance Your Organization re-certification category but the organization has unlimited rights??to??implementation of the Employee Engagement initiative.

Kathleen Beckford ??BSc Management & Psychology says:
My investment in the CBC training has aided my transformational journey.?? While I had some knowledge of my personality trait having done some other work, I did not understand why I chose certain behavioural tools.?? This training affords me a greater understanding of myself, ??an appreciation of the behaviour of others and how to improve communication with what I would otherwise call ???difficult??? people. ??I now understand why I execute some tasks easily and effortlessly while some others require more energy, commitment and focus.
I strongly recommend this training as it augurs well for improved relationships whether at home or at the workplace.
??I was excited about the course content, but I was initially skeptical about the course delivery, as I was never a fan of learning outside a classroom. But since this was the only way I could attend the course, I had to face the chat session. It was like being on a conference call ??? easy and convenient and definitely worth it.
??And as for the coach: Trevor really knows his stuff. He made understanding the principles so easy and he has a very accessible teaching style. If you need a bit more hand-holding even after you are done, Trevor is literally just a phone call away.
??As a professional who has been helping people maximize their potential for nearly 10 years now, I knew that I found an amazing tool that I could use to do an even better job.
??Becoming a Certified Behavioural Coach is definitely one of the best things I did for my life and career. It was new; it challenged me and introduced possibilities for my work as a communications strategist focused on people development.
??I unreservedly recommend anyone who is even thinking about doing this course: Just do it!
Being a Certified Behavioural Coach is beyond personal development it is finding a path to the best you.
