The Art of Fully Engaged Dialogue™…a coach approach

This program is often used in organizations to develop peer coaching skills and practices and is frequently used to support cohort leadership development programs. The framework is built on a dialogue model using coaching practices which stimulate critical thinking, self-directed learning and self-directed leadership. Team cohesion, collaboration and communication effectiveness are integrated into the framework and model. The program is designed to integrate the learning over several sessions with sufficient time in between to build on the skills in the day to day work environment. It is built on a model of one day interactive classroom learning and ten follow-up modules of 1.5 hours each with 3 learning partners to support just in time learning and professional goal achievement. The workbook has additional resources and post workshop exercises for those who learn well on their own and stimulates reflection for ongoing learning.
