Facilitator: Joanne (Jo) Blackerby, MCC
Date: Monday, Feb 10, 2025
Time: 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM CST
Location: Zoom
CEU: 1.25 Core Competencies
Topic: The Myth of the Backstory
Description:
As coaches, we’re often told that curiosity is a vital tool in our practice. It’s what drives us to ask powerful questions, listen deeply, and explore possibilities with our clients. But there’s a trap hidden in curiosity that coaches must be aware of—especially when curiosity pulls us into places that derail the coaching process. One of the most common missteps? Asking for the backstory. | |
On January 7th we welcomed Scott Nelson, a 20+ year coach, who spoke to us about generational coaching.
“Effective coaching transcends generational boundaries, turning potential conflict into opportunities for cooperation, collaboration, and connection. Skilled coaches adapt their approaches to engage and inspire individuals across all age groups, fostering meaningful intergenerational communication. Bridging generational gaps requires open dialogue and a deep understanding of the unique perspectives and evolving dynamics of each generation.”
Thank you for all the attendees that joined and contributed to the conversation.
Scott recommended two books to continue learning about the generational topic:
