    .75 Core Competency and .75 Resource Development CCEs

    The ICF recently sponsored a study that found that 85% of coaches have clients requesting help with their mental well-being. This presentation addresses that need. It will change how you see and work with your clients. IFS is best known as a psychotherapeutic model, but it is more than that: it is a personal development model that can be used by practitioners from all the helping professions to support their clients in healing and awakening. IFS provides a framework for understanding the human psyche and how to end suffering. It synthesizes three big ideas: (1) The human psyche naturally divides into sub-personalities, called parts. Inside each of us are innumerable parts of different ages, temperaments, talents, and strategies to make us happy. (2) These parts live in a relational system, interacting with each other just like people, often getting into conflicts that cause us trouble. To change, we need to understand the dynamics between parts. (3) Everyone has an enlightened core, called Self, with all the qualities and resources we need. The vast majority of people are unaware of Self. IFS provides a way of accessing Self that is much faster than generally believed in most spiritual traditions and in other models of the psyche.


    WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

    This presentation helps coaches understand themselves so they can better support their clients in finding the mental and emotional wellbeing they want. It focuses on three core ideas:

    1. You have many sub-personalities. This is natural, universal, and beneficial.

    2. These sub-personalities are part of relational system that is operating off outdated programs developed in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. This causes suffering.

    3. The solution is to introduce these sub-personalities to Self, the natural leader of the internal system, who has been obscured by sub-personalities. Self is the enlightened core of every human--no exceptions.

    2.0 Core Competency CCE

    Join us for this "giant think tank", discussing and delving deep into the whole arena of ethics in coaching as it relates to the current version of the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies, updated in 2021. We will introduce important definitions and distinctions that influence one's perspective around ethics.

    As coaches, we shape the profession of coaching. How we conduct ourselves impacts how the public perceives the coaching industry. Through our experiential time together, using case studies and examples, we will equip you with tools to explore ethical concerns, including those that lack clear-cut answers. Our aim is that you come away from this program empowered to courageously find your way forward with curiosity and ethical integrity.

    Upon completion of this program, attendees will be able to:

    · Establish an individual and personal sense of professional ethical conduct.

    · Make distinctions between morals, values, and ethics and why that is professionally important in coaching.

    · Name key factors (the warning flags) and distinctions in the identification of potential professional ethical issues and how they impact the field of coaching and the public at large.

    · Respond to ethical issues with greater courage, confidence and clarity. Know where to get answers when needed.

    Considering and making the leap from Corporate to Entrepreneur can be daunting.  Reevaluating success and creating an entrepreneurial exit from Corporate to Coaching can be done successfully - if you have the right framework to turn risk into opportunity.

    Entrepreneurship as a Coach is very different from Corporate Life, and figuring out how to translate your decades of corporate experience can be time consuming. What you want is a reliable shortcut that has already been tested by someone you trust.

    In this session, I share critical areas for successfully pivoting to entrepreneurship and building a thriving coaching business, including:

    -The Risk Framework: how to turn risk into opportunity

    -Common overlooked keys to success in three areas: Strategy, Operations and Business Development

    Top 3 Takeaways:

    • A three step risk framework to mitigate your business risk 
    • The importance of brand niche in building your sales funnel  
    • How to create a salable menu of services for corporate clients 
    Bio:

    I partner with strong leaders to guide them from corporate executives to thriving executive coaches who are strategic, risk savvy, solopreneurs. I am a reformed corporate insurance executive, turned successful executive coach who has tested the shortcuts and knows which ones to take. With my proprietary framework of gathering data, assessing risk, and mitigating for success, working with me ensures you have an up to date playbook in hand, and are prepared to win at a new game.

    .5 Core Competency and .5 Resource Development CCEs

    Join us for our August ICF AR-OK Chapter Meeting.

    Our featured presenter is Amy A. Kessler.

    Each of us possesses a unique combination of strengths that virtually no one else has. 

    Consider how contact lenses help us see the world more clearly. Our combination of talent strengths is like those lenses altering how we see the world around us. These talents tend to come so naturally that we don’t think about it; they are automatic. At our best, we are energized and fulfilled. At our worst, we are depleted and de-energized. 

    But it’s not enough to know our strengths. We must value our contributions and what others can count on us for. It’s important to understand what conditions, through relationships and tasks, our strengths need to thrive. As leaders, we must also be aware of the strengths of those we lead and collaborate with. Rooted in positive psychology and neuroscience, this knowledge helps us to bring out the best in ourselves and others, maximize productivity and innovation, and foster well-being. 

    Objectives:

    1. Introduce a preliminary understanding of your Top 5 strengths' role in the unique value each of us brings. 

    2. Raise self-awareness, and “other awareness,” by focusing on what’s right, rather than fixating on what’s wrong. 

    3. How overuse (or underuse) of our top strengths leads to our biggest weaknesses.


    Bio: 

    Amy A. Kessler is in her element when she’s connecting with people, telling stories, and sharing fascinating insights. She has a natural gift for making others feel engaged, appreciated, and entertained all at once. Her passion for creating a sense of belonging stems from her deep belief in the power of CliftonStrengths, which highlights the unique contributions we each bring to our teams, clients, and those we lead. For Kessler, no challenge is too great—there’s always a way forward, and she’s ready to find it. 

    With over three decades of experience in the corporate world, Kessler’s been captivated by what makes people not just successful leaders, but truly fulfilled in life. She spent the early part of her career in advertising, helping major brands like Gatorade and Miller Brewing Company connect with U.S. Hispanic audiences. Along the way, she earned two coaching certifications— Certified People Acuity Guide and Strengths Strategy Certified Specialist—and has made it her mission to help others discover the ease and immense value of working with a top-notch executive coach. A proud graduate of the University of Oklahoma, she’s a firm believer in the lifelong power of learning and growth. 

    Recognizing the need for a single, reliable source of vetted top-tier coaches who share a unified approach, Kessler founded Potentia Coaches. Busy leaders turn to her when they need to be paired with the ideal coach—someone who can guide them or their teams to success. Potentia offers a global cadre of strengths-based executive coaches, eliminating the headache of trying to find the perfect fit. Amy doesn’t just make the connection; she ensures the coaching relationship is fruitful and enriching. “Potentia,” rooted in Latin, speaks to potential, strength, and power—the key ingredients, in Kessler’s view, for fulfillment both at work and in life.

    1.0 Resource Development CCEs

    To make a living as a coach, you must be able to connect with coachable people who can afford to work with you.  That's not an easy proposition.  Personal budgets are tight.  Those most in need of coaching are often the least able to afford it.  It can seem hopeless. 

    In this session, seasoned coach Chad Hall, MCC will share three approaches for getting clients who can afford coaching.  These are approaches that have worked for him and his team at StrongLead, a professional coaching firm in Hickory, NC to provides over 2500 hours of coaching per year to clients ranging from solopreneurs to non-profit leaders to millionaire business owners.

    Learning Objectives:  

    1. Find your why for coaching (and it can't be money)
    2. Learn to put a price on your coaching (and it must be money)
    3. Develop creative ways to get clients who can afford coaching AND to make coaching affordable for clients who can't otherwise pay for your coaching.
