Session

As complexity increases and the pace of change continues to accelerate, leaders need new, better ways to learn and grow. Coaching is ideally suited to the challenge, however the demands for coaches to add value faster, and in new and different ways, are accelerating as well. To keep pace, they can’t just keep running faster and harder, they need new tools and mindsets. It’s time to reinvent ourselves and our profession before we are disrupted.

David’s session outlines five distinctive ways that coaches can amplify their value and impact in times of complexity and change, along with practical techniques to thrive in times of complexity and disruption. By starting from “first principles”, David identifies several key areas where the conventional wisdom is becoming obsolete, and coaches need new skills, techniques, and mindsets for themselves and their clients. You will leave with 3-4 new ideas about how you can build trust faster, generate lasting value to your clients, and enhance resilience and long-term sustainable high performance.
