The ADVANCED RESILIENCE COACHSULTANT class - Dates to be announced!

LEARN MORE AND REGISTER HERE FOR AFTERNOON CLASS (4:00 to 5:30 CST)

Pre-requisite: Basic Resilience To Thrive Coach training

[1] Coachsultant is a hybrid or part-coach and part-consultant. There is a continuum from direct one-on-one coaching and broader workplace consulting with multiple stakeholders. Combined, the two courses here give participants background in both. They do not, by themselves, represent a full or in-depth training in coaching or consulting. They are in-depth training programs on the topic of worker and workplace resilience and can be approached as a supplement to basic coaching and consulting training.

This certificate training is for those professionals within either a human resource, wellness, health, or coaching-related profession. Students will acquire skills and tools for assisting individuals and organizations to enhance their resilience and thriving capacity. There are two tracks for this certificate; both basic and advanced.

The advanced course is designed primarily to

• help individuals who want to enhance their organizational consulting skills and who want to learn tools, approaches, and
• research to integrate those consulting skills for organizational-level and managerial resilience.

The course is formatted as a seminar with students presenting reading summaries in each class. We also use a peer-to-peer “mock” case study. Students will pair up with another student and take turns completing assessments and coachsulting each other through those assessments.

Note. This course is not designed for health or life coaches who have not worked with organizations or managers or have no intentions to do so in the near future. At the same time, the course materials can help students to expand their perspective and develop tools to assist clients who are in managerial or leadership positions.

ADVANCED COURSE OBJECTIVES

Objectives for Advanced Course (as a result of this training, participants will be able to…)

• Identify both theory and research on implementing a team-level or organizational-level resilience initiative
• Identify work-related stressors and various evidence-based approaches to dealing with those stressors
• Utilize organizational-level audits on resilience and provide consultation
• Identify their own competencies as a champion for wellness/resilience in their own or their client organization
• Increase their self-awareness as an authentic leader
• Provide basic coachsulting skills when working with clients (individuals, teams, workplaces)
• Identify and practice basic elements of process consultation

Pre-requisite Note. Completion of either the basic resilience coaching class or Dr. Bennett’s “Resilience and Thriving” facilitator training is required prior to registration for this class. Students should contact Dr. Bennett directly if they feel they have other credentials that match these pre-requisite.

FINAL REPORT

The final report requires working with another individual (class member) in crafting a case report or mock case-report where you apply concepts and skills from the class. This final report is meant to demonstrate that students have (a) combined three different competencies into a single report and (b) created an integration that also shows experience and mastery of knowledge. The three competencies:

1. Ability to apply specific ideas and concepts from all readings to a review and understanding of the case and the recommendations you make to your case/client
2. DETAILS FROM DATA. Your ability to show specific details about the client’s situation and their own unique sets of risks and strengths using as much data as possible.
3. PERSONAL REFLECTION AS A CONSULTANT. You sharing about your own personal evolution as a result of and through the process of this course and the assignment

Pre-requisite: Completion of the OWLS Basic Resilience To Thrive Coach training or please contact the instructor if you have equivalent background in consulting, human resources, organizational development, industrial-organizational psychology, occupational health, or related field.
