Core Competency Intensive:
Coaching Mindset – Neurodiversity Focus
Develop a Mindset That Serves a Neurodivergent Client’s Growth
The Core Competency Intensive (CCI) courses are aptly named. While these lab-style courses address all coaching competencies and the full coaching process, each CCI course provides an enhanced focus on one critical area of coaching competence–in this instance, coaching mindset.
In the words of the International Coaching Federation, this course focuses on “a mindset that is open, curious, flexible and client-centered.”
This fresh course explores coaching ethos in-depth, including the intersection of coaching presence and the practice of mindfulness.
- Delivered in a seminar/instruction/lab format.
- The centerpiece of each class is an authentic coaching session with students in the coach and client roles
- Time to check-in on the challenges students are noticing in their own clients
- Classes are recorded for review
Although our Mentor/Lab courses are designed to support students who are working to secure recorded coaching sessions for a credential, you do not need to be pursuing coach certification to take or benefit from this course.
Our mentor/lab-style courses are open to Coach Approach Foundation Training graduates as well as coaches trained elsewhere who have 60+ hours of coach-specific training and 100 paid client hours.
