Training: Theoretical Foundations in Coaching

As someone who is both a coach and consultant AND passionate about the proper use of assessments, I often think that coaches lack a solid theoretical framework. So while this isn't an inexpensive program, I was so glad to see that someone, in this case, Results Coaching Systems out of Australia is providing this training.

Theoretical Foundations in Coaching begins Feb. 5, 2007 - led by David Rock, author of Quiet Leadership

Join David and special guests for 3 months of intensive study of the science behind leadership development and coaching. Explore the links between neuroscience, change theory, learning theory, positive psychology, systems theory and other important domains.
