Zenger Folkman Coaching SymposiumCoaching skills development has become a major concern for many organizations. And for good reason. Leaders with extraordinary coaching skills create 8 times higher employee engagement, 2.5 times higher job satisfaction, 3 times more willingness to “go the extra mile,” half as many employees thinking about quitting, and dramatically higher levels of customer service and satisfaction.

A few years before The CLEMMER Group became strategic partners with Zenger Folkman I reviewed Jack Zenger and Kathleen Stinnett’s outstanding book The Extraordinary Coach: How the Best Leaders Help Others Grow. In over 30 years of researching, writing about, and delivering coaching skills training I’ve read and cited from a very tall stack of books, reports, research, white papers, and other material on coaching. I rated this book as by far the best I’ve ever read on this vital topic.

As Zenger Folkman partners we’ve now delivered many Extraordinary Coach workshops. I’ve never before seen participants shift their thinking, develop new skills, and walk away with as many “ahas” and how-to’s on coaching as with this powerful approach.

Now you have a very rare chance to get coached on coaching skills development by Jack and Kathleen. On March 12 – 13, 2014 in Orlando, Florida you can experience the full two-day workshop as well as a dinner presentation on “Creating a Coaching Culture.” During these inspiring and skill-packed two-days you’ll:

• Turbo-charge your coaching skills with practical, applied approaches

• Learn the “FUEL coaching communication model” to guide powerful coaching conversations

• Develop deeper skills in giving constructive feedback

• Receive a research-based coaching feedback assessment to further build your coaching strengths

• Use Zenger Folkman’s unique cross-training approach to build your customized personal development plan

• Discover the key steps to building a coaching culture
