Effective Leadership Through Co-Active Coaching
Participate in a 6 week program, that introduces Co-Active Coaching as an effective tool in management and leadership. “The goal of coaching is the goal of good management: to make the most of an organizations valuable resources” (Harvard Business Review). Developing coaching skills is one of the most powerful ways to train managers and leaders in the fundamental competencies proven in research to impact high performance. Coaching is effective on improving communication skills and emotional intelligence. A study by the Hay Group found that emotional competencies were twice as important in contributing to excellence as pure intellect and expertise. (Goldmans, D. 1997, Emotional Intelligence, Banton Books). The program is designed to help managers and leaders develop the skills necessary to inspire and motivate their organizations to create a more productive and effective future. Participants will learn how to identify and manage their leadership challenges through proven coaching and communication techniques. In-class activities and in-between class projects will allow participants to try out new ideas, practice coaching skills and experience the co-active leadership.
Throughout the 6 week interactive program and homework assignments, participants will:
Be introduced to the co-active model

As singles, we spend a lot of time thinking about what we want and what we don’t have when it comes to relationships. Debbie’s Relationship Workshop game me some time and permission to explore these desires and needs more deeply. The workshop helped me to realize things about myself and others that I had not been aware of before. The workshop helped me to become clearer on my desires around a relationship and gave me the tools to make them all become a reality.

Relationship Workshop
I am looking for Christian Single’s who are interested in exploring the following questions and areas around dating and relationships:
* the differences in the way men and women communicate.
* the differences in the way men and women define and experience intimacy.
* when or how is "just friends" really the early stages of dating
* how to identify and address when "just friends" has become more? and how to not lose the friendship in the process?
* what happens when we are having sex in our heads but not with our bodies?
* how do we deal with sexual attraction and energy without acting on it, feeling guilty about it or mistaking it for a relationship?
* identifying your repetitive behaviors around relationships and the effects these behaviors are having on your relationships.
* how to bust assumptions and stop letting them run our relationships.
* becoming very clear on what we want and feel in a relationship and being able to have the conversations we need to have around that.
* what does scripture teach us about how we are to be in relationship.
After presenting my Christian Singles Relationship workshops and having many, many conversations and coaching sessions with Christian Singles about dating and relationships, I have become increasingly aware of a dynamic (many clients have referred to as a bondage) that literally shackles Christian Singles from pursuing healthy dating relationships. Moreover, it appears that the stronger and more committed their Christian walk is the stronger and more limiting the bondage becomes.
What is this “bondage” that my clients refer to and how does it stop them from pursuing healthy dating relationships? Here are some examples of what my clients have shared with me:
* fearing the loss of Christian fellowship if the dating relationship does not lead to marriage. This fear stops them from dating Christians in their church or Christian singles groups they may participate in. So, where do they find Christians to date? They don’t.
* the sincere desire to not hurt a brother/sister in Christ or cause harm to their heart. So, they need to be “real sure” about how they feel before they ask someone out on a date. But, how can you be “real sure” until you date the person and get to know them? You can’t.
* using, or rather hiding behind, the term “just friends” when they are actually in the early stages of dating. This seems to be a game that Christian singles have gotten really good at. The line’s between “just friends” and dating seem to be very fuzzy.
God created us for relationship. He created us because He wanted to be in relationship with us. How awesome! He does not desire us to be in bondage around relationships.
The more I prayed about and research this topic, the more convicted I became about expanding what I am able to offer at my Relationship Workshops. I am excited to announce that I have created a 12 week Relationship Coaching Program for Christian singles. This program combines individual coaching, group coaching and self study, all without you ever having to leave your home!
What are the details? Check back soon for details on telecourse and live workshop to be offered starting in January 2007.
What if I have questions? How do I register?
