Virtual Open House & Coaching Workshop

Want to learn what coaching is about and how it gets results? Would you like to learn coaching skills to apply in a new or existing career? Join us for this experiential session, which will include a coaching demonstration, instruction, and a panel discussion with GISC’s coaching faculty and graduates. Learn about our approach and what it takes to become a credentialed coach.

This is a two-hour introductory session for our Competency Development Program for Coach Certification: Skills for High-Impact Coaching, which is offered each year online or in-person on Cape Cod. The interactive presentation will focus on GISC's powerful approach to coaching which produces rapid and enduring growth and change. We will explore the concept of Polarities and its use in removing resistance to change. These powerful coaching techniques, along with other theories and practices that support the coaching process, are embedded in our coach certification program.  This introduction – and GISC’s initial coach training program – is designed for those considering a move into the practice of coaching as well as for those currently working as coaches and seeking certification.  Successful completion of the CompetencyDevelopment Program for Coach Certification results in a GISC Certified Coach credential and the opportunity to pursue credentialing by the International Coach Federation (ICF). 

The final portion of the program will be devoted to a panel discussion and question-and-answer session with some of our Competency Development Program for Coach Certification graduates. They will be available to discuss their experience of the program and how they are using their skills and certification in existing roles and new coaching practices. There will also be an opportunity ask faculty and graduates questions about coaching, certification, or the certification program.
