You asked, we listened! 
Announcing the CCI Teleconference Program

The 15 Listening Clarifiers, part of the Coachville Coaching system, are so powerful even on their own, that new coaches can start out just using those, and be effective with their clients! That's because the more you can hear about what your client is actually saying, the more you can zero in on what they really need. 

For example, knowing whether the client is addressing the goal/challenge/situation, or avoiding it will help you address whether they need to create an environment, set an action plan, or something else entirely. And it's perfectly fine to ask the client if they are addressing or avoiding the issue, and whether or not that's what they WANT to be doing.

By clarifying what's going on for our clients, we can avoid making assumptions by filtering what the client is saying through our own biases. And it will help avoid glossing over an event or obstacle that was really important to the client, regardless of what it might appear within our own framework.

While the clarifiers may seem simple at first, their power lies in putting language to things that we do intuitively, by having language for this, increasing the power exponentially.

For many of us, our first introduction to the CoachVille Coaching system came on an R&D call with Thomas Leonard. So when he and Dave Buck embarked on a "tour" teaching the Proficiencies, Clarifier, etc in live weekend intensives, we immediately signed up. And we were not disappointed.

But we recognized that not everyone can get to one of the weekend intensives, and we wanted to address that. So we've created the CCI teleconference series that will enable you to attend one from the comfort of your home or office. More about that below. And i the classes themselves aren't value enough, you'll also gain access to the Certified Coach Participant Resource area which includes all the notes, real audios and mp3s of the New York City CCI with Dave and Thomas. It's a real treat!
