Change challenges what we know and how we learn. Collaborative Coaching has been developed by professionals to help organizational leaders acquire new knowledge and in turn, lead change within themselves, at work, at home, and in the broader community. The journey begins from within. What emerges is joint exploration through Action Learning, a collaborative learning process.

Individuals seek Coaching to help them identify areas where change would be of benefit and to seek opportunities for accelerating learning. Collaborative Coaching begins with understanding our perceptions, myths and realities--questions, answers and assumptions: Our perception of reality is influenced by the assumptions we make and the questions we ask--this frames our reality and, in turn, affects the quality of the decisions we make. And it is our decisions that shape our actions. Collaborative coaching helps individuals understand how we filter information and frame problems--looking at critical issues from many different perspectives. Effective coaching can increase productivity and effectiveness, individually and collectively.

The Collaborative Coaching Model applied here offers a unique opportunity for self-assessment, providing participants who are committed to personal and professional development, the tools and skill sets necessary to succeed and excel, even in times of extreme uncertainty. Participants will gain access to automated evaluation tools that are easy to use and designed to accelerate learning and enhance personal and professional growth.

The Collaborative Coaching Suite of tools include:

1. The Organizational Roles Inventory™ - helps you understand how you filter information, frame situations, ask questions and make decisions. It provides feedback about personal attitudes, strengths and limits.


2. The Vision & Values Survey™ - helps you articulate your values and get clear on three things: What is your vision? What are your goals? What do you want to change?


3.The Personality Profile™ - helps provide you with insight into how other people see the world differently from you, an essential first step in building better personal and professional relationships.


4. Integral Leadership Survey™ - targets areas for development, provides strategies to enhance strengths, and provide directionality for identifying and initiating "Action Opportunities."


5. The Anger Inventory™ - helps you determine the extent to which anger influences your decisions.


6. The Anxiety Survey™ - helps you understand your anxiety level and how it compares to those around you.


7. The Stress Assessment™ - helps you identify the sources of your stress (internal or external) and outline strategies for reducing stress.

The true learning-spirit of Collaborative Coaching is in cultivating "the strength to accept the things you can not change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Being true to who you are starts with thinking, talking, and walking your values.
