Executive Coaching Institute
The UC Berkeley Center for Executive Education is pleased to announce a summer coaching institute for individuals interested in entering the field of executive coaching.
This two week coaching workshop will offer intensive study in mastery of the Active Communicating coaching methodology. This methodology is based on our belief that the coach is a catalyst. A coach does not develop people. A coach equips people who develop themselves.
The program consists of over 120 contact hours of group classes, individual tutorials and coaching and weekly practicum that will lead to a certificate of completion awarded from the Center for Executive Education at the University of California, Berkeley.
Program Description
The primary focus of the executive coach training is for participants to learn the skill set that is necessary to coach a variety of business professionals as well as work groups. The coaching session is a one-on-one conversation between a leader and peers or direct reports that utilize the following skills:
- Setting the Stage: Preparing the physical environment and clarifying the intention of the coaching session.
- Tracking: Building awareness of behavior, thought processes, and actions.
- Inquiry: Asking open-ended, curious questions.
- Naming It: Bringing to light those things that are unspoken but are obstacles to moving forward.
- Playback: Listening with the intent of playing back what the speaker said. This promotes reflective listening, empathetic listening, and listening for possibility.
- Effective Feedback: Offering specific, focused, balanced feedback to overcome obstacles and foster a change in behavior.
- Serving as a Sounding Board: Bringing forth full presence and practicing unconditional positive regard.
At the end of the program, participants will be awarded a certificate of completion by the UC Berkeley Center for Executive Education.
