The RESILIENCE TO THRIVING ORGANIZATIONAL COACHING class - Dates to be announced!
LEARN MORE AND REGISTER HERE FOR AFTERNOON CLASS (4:00 to 5:30 CST)
Pre-requisites: Completion of either the individual resilience coaching class or Dr. Bennett’s “Resilience and Thriving” facilitator training are preferred but NOT required prior to registration for this class. Students should contact Dr. Bennett directly if they have questions about credentials that may be relevant to this course.
This certificate training is for those professionals within either a human resource, wellness, health, or coaching-related professions. Students will acquire skills and tools for assisting individuals and organizations to enhance their resilience and thriving capacity.
The Resilience-to-Thriving Organizational Coaching course is designed primarily to:
- help individuals who want to enhance their organizational consulting skills and who want to learn tools, approaches, and
- to integrate consulting skills for organizational-level with supervisory, managerial, or executive resilience skills.
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. The course materials can help students to expand their perspective and develop tools to assist clients who are in managerial or leadership positions. This is ideal for a person working in an organization or one who wants to in the future.
