This career coaching course [Certified Career Management Coach™] was beyond my expectations. The material was very thorough and comprehensive and the instructor (Susan) was very attentive and supportive to the needs of the course participants. Being able to practice coaching during the weekly sessions and receive feedback really helped cement the learnings of the course. My coaching practice has been enriched by this material and I feel so much more confident as a coach. ~Liz Ferguson, CCMC, Career Coach

Career Coaching Tip of the Week ~ August 25, 2008
Listening skills are the bedrock of coaching. Initially, you’ll be listening for the client’s brilliance—who they are and who they need to become to step into their destiny. From this brilliance, goals will emerge. Once goals are established, you’ll begin to listen for other elements, such as the strengths and competencies the client has, as well as the blocks or self-defeating behaviors that are preventing them from moving forward. Consider this ABCDE template to help you hone your listening skills. A= Attention; B = Beliefs; C = Competencies; D = Doing; E = Energy. As you listen for the A = Attention, consider, What is drawing the attention of the client? Is it something that is in line with the stated goals or something that’s distracting them from their goals? Tune in next week for B = Belief Systems!
