Executive Personality Dynamics for Coaches

The practice of coaching requires the ability to understand quickly the personality dynamics of the person being coached, yet training in coaching does not generally
provide in-depth education in assessing and working with these issues. This intensive workshop will focus on understanding and working with the characteristics and manifestations of narcissism, perfectionism and control, anger and conflict management, depression and issues of self-esteem.

Participants will explore how to coach each differently, and how to know when referral is needed. Emphasis is on cases from participants’ practices in relation to personality dynamics and theory.

Benefits

Participants will learn:

• Positive and negative aspects of the individual personality types and how they impact organizations.

• Strengths of clients served and ways to build on these.
  
• Manifestations of personality types in personal and family life.

“I enrolled in the Executive Personality Dynamics course primarily because I wanted to strengthen my ability to
recognize when clients need therapy versus coaching. The class gave me that and more. Besides helping me identify
when to refer out, my experience at GISC broadened the scope of what I am able to address within coaching and reminded me to bring my energy with me!”

“The faculty and staff at GISC really understand what creating a ‘learning environment’ means. It’s safe. It is very much based on seeing what’s positive in each person and learning to give feedback that is specific to what stood out. Reporting phenomenological data is not done many places and at GISC we really learn to
do it well. It really does open the door to look at where the growing edge is for ourselves. It is special coming to a place where growth is truly understood and practiced in every session.”
