The Coaching SIG is Sponsored by the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) & Chesapeake Bay Organization Development Network (CBODN)
Topic: The Power of Presence - Practical Approaches for Coaches
Leadership presence is a common area for coaches to explore with clients, and yet it can be hard to bring the concepts down to a repeatable, practical level. How can a manager lead with presence day in and day out? What “presence” skills are most valuable in the workplace? Join us as Kristi Hedges demystifies the elusive trait of presence and demonstrates how it is the intersection of outward influencing skills and internal mental conditioning. Kristi will discuss her I-Presence™ model, which is designed to show how anyone undefined regardless of position or personality undefined can strengthen their impact. Coaches will be introduced to accessible tools for their own coaching toolkits.
