Gestalt Coaching: Enhancing Your Competency

Tues., 1–6pm; Wed. & Thurs., 9am–6pm; Fri., 9am–3pm
Coaching has emerged as a distinctive competency and a professional calling. It is an important function that supports learning and intentional change. This workshop will outline, experimentally explore and practice the skills that constitute effective intervention from a Gestalt perspective. Organizational consultants, coaches, business and human service professionals will find this workshop particularly useful in learning: Gestalt theory, concepts and methods; tools for facilitating individual and small group change and development; and data based-based observations about one's use of self and the impact of one's presence as an intervener and coach. Extensive skill building sessions, with faculty consultation and feedback are built into this workshop. This is an intensive introduction to the larger OSD International Coaching Program sponsored through the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland Organization & Systems Development Integrative Study Center (GICOSDISC).

Fee per individual workshop: $695
