Life Long Learning

It was really helpful to practice the coaching sessions, and to have others provide feedback.  It’s tough to learn something and then never get to really use it in a way where you can get real-time, meaningful feedback.

I use coaching skills during my training sessions… I’m able to reach those participants who really aren’t on board with the training.  Coaching helps me to engage my clients so that it [the training] becomes meaningful to them… This has lead to shorter training sessions that are more meaningful and, as a result, implementations have been much faster.

As a consultant, achieving this “coaching state-of-mind” has gone against my natural instincts as I’ve been programmed to give advice.  The Human Capital Coaching program has allowed for me to become a much better listener and focus on what my client is truly expressing instead of how I would like to respond.  I’m now .. able to identify the real issues of a client at a deeper level.  ..the HCC program enabled me to resolve clients issues and capture new business much more efficiently, ultimately creating greater revenue for my firm.

This course provided a template for having productive conversations which built trust and made possible a real exchange of ideas… [The skills I developed] makes it easier to identify blocks and overcome them more quickly… We respond faster to challenges and opportunities

When people came to me with work challenges, I used to tell them what to do or take an active role in fixing it.  I felt constantly pulled off task putting fires out.  Now, I engage them to find a solution and take action.  My team is capable of doing their jobs extremely well; we are all just now realizing what it means for me to empower them to do so. … I also see more “coachable” moments now that I’ve been through the class.

“I used to try and solve problems for my employees.  Now I use coaching skills to help them figure out what they need to do and they are doing the work.  I no longer feel overtaxed trying to solve everyone’s problems and the people I work with are better for it.  The people I coach are stronger and more capable.  Human Capital Coaching gave me a template and structure for having productive conversations so that obstacles and challenges can be identified more quickly.  We get more work done in less time and feel energized.”

“I set a goal of ‘selling 30 hours of pure coaching in the first year after this program.  I did it in a month.” ….Another unexpected benefit the coaching program provided me was to enhance my skills as a professional advisor… it has greatly elevated the relationship [with Clients] on all matters both technical and advisory.

“Dr. Jackie, Just thought I would let you know I have been impressed with the (Art & Science of Coaching Couples) course so far. Your follow up downloads set this program head and shoulders above the competition.”

“I did A LOT of research on coaching curriculum. You were my first choice, though I did my due diligence and checked out other options. Intuition wins…AGAIN! I have come full circle and cannot wait to get started.”
