Coaching Lab May Virtual Event

/in , /by

May 15, 2019

Wednesdays 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

by Lauren Travis Lambrecht

Zoom Monthly Event

As coaches, we often work 1:1 with clients, but otherwise spend a lot of time alone, in our heads, noodling possibilities, challenges, or dreams, with no dedicated outlet to process, take action or have accountability.

The Coaching Lab is a space for coaches to come together to share our ideas in a safe, non-judgmental forum. It’s a place to get feedback, input and support.  It’s a built in focus group for whatever is on your mind.

Sample topics:

  • Talk through branding or design
  • Get feedback on an article or post
  • Talk through a challenging client situation
  • Voice a fear or concern and receive peer coaching
  • Ask for recommendations on products, services or resources
  • Proof concepts for webinars, workshops or events

Process:

  1. This will be a standing monthly VIRTUAL meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 7- 8pm. (Some dates are not the 3rd Wednesday)
  2. Submit your topics to Lauren Travis Lambrecht at leadwithverve@gmail.comat least 5 days prior to the event, or post your interest in the meeting invite on Facebook ICF Pittsburgh Coaches page.
  3. Selected presenters will be notified 2-3 days prior to the session; Selection is based on volume and broad applicability
  4. Goal: 3 topics per meeting, 15 minutes each (including sharing idea and receiving feedback); time will also be allocated for introductions and reflection.
  5. All community members are invited to participate, but only current paid ICF Pittsburgh members may present their ideas to the lab

Coaches’ Deeper Connection Adventure

/in , /by

Wednesday, June 12, 2019

Sheraton Station Square Hotel

11:15 A.M. to 1:30 P.M.

by Tom Volkar

CCE’s: 1.5 (.5 core/1.0 resource)

A participatory adventure for coaches, consultants and other professionals who must clearly communicate value in order to attract ideal clients.

Using focused urgency and peer interviewing while following core contribution guidelines participants will go within to:

  1. uncover hidden gems of possibility,
  2. use them in a formula to craft an introductory value message and
  3. practice declaring it to an audience of their colleagues.

Core Contribution Guidelines

  • Vulnerability connects.
  • Less is more.
  • Results trump services.
  • Depth increases credibility.
  • Every experience is valid.

Your core contribution (expressed, valued true calling) is found at the intersection of your ideal client’s deep need and your deep fulfillment.  By championing and expressing your unique capacities, earned as a result of your deepest wounds, you place yourself in an ideal position to express value.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of innate core value as seen in the eyes of others and possibly with a well-crafted message expressing that value.

Speaker:

Tom Volkar is a 20-year business start-up coach who guides solo service practitioners who want to start and grow their ideal businesses.  Tom specializes in comeback coaching for those who want to robustly rebound from devastating changes like divorce, bankruptcy, business failure and critical health challenges.
