NZCMC to present at ASTD conference in Chicago

NZCMC have been selected for the 3rd year running to present a workshop at the 2010 American Society for Training & Development International Conference in Chicago in May which is the Trainer's equivalent of the Rugby World Cup.

This year's workshop, Group Coaching: Tools for Leveraging Learning in Groups and Teams, will provide participants with a taster of this powerful coaching mode. Group coaching combines the benefits of one-to-one coaching with the power of peer-to-peer learning. It provides a recession-proof method for coaching in times when coaching is most needed and makes the most of what is probably the best learning resource an organization has--its own people.

In this session, participants will gain an introduction to group coaching and a group coaching toolkit. Revealing issues and challenges in front of others takes courage and a group coach needs to be able to guarantee psychological safety for all those who participate. By using specifically designed tools that tap in to the inherent knowledge and wisdom within the group, high levels of trust and synergy can be established so the energizing conversations that typify excellent coaching take place.

The conference attracts 9000 participants from all over the world, has an excellent line up of key note speakers and over 200 workshops to attend. It is our chance to keep ourselves up to date with leading edge thinking in the leadership, coaching and workplace learning fields as well as stay connected to our important network of global colleagues.
