Right-Brained Clients Living In a Left-Brained World: Coaching the Creative Leaders of our Future - Therese Boldt
Our economy is becoming increasingly dependent upon right-brain function for productivity, effectiveness and success. As left-brain dominated jobs are shipped overseas or automated, coaches are meeting with more and more executives/business leaders with creative, innovative ways of thinking and being. This skill set is currently seen as a "disability" (i.e. ADD, etc.) when in fact people with this focus are often the most successful business leaders and are supercharged for success in the future. Coaching practitioners will need to understand this group of emerging leaders and how they can partner with them to leverage their gifts and strengths during this time of economic transition.

About Therese Boldt
Therese Marie Boldt is a leadership coach who works with business leaders who are committed to developing their people to be the very best they can be, or are guiding their organizations through transition, or admit they are having some people challenges. Since her coaching practice emerged from a very successful career in HR and the recruiting industry, she provides onboard coaching to companies who understand the huge cost of a failed executive hire and know that effectively assimilating these leaders into their culture will ensure their success. Therese Marie received her BA in Human Resources Management and Industrial Relations from the Wayne State University School of Business Administration, and her ongoing coach training takes place through Leadership University's B-Coach, an emergent, multilevel, integrated leadership development coaching system.

Breakout Sessions
2:45-3:45pm

Room 106
Story Telling Workshop - Engaging Others to Take Action - Preston True, Kathy Igoe, Dr. Andrea Calvert

One of the most effective ways to build trust and credibility as a coach is to communicate with clarity and power.
Public speaking is one of those avenues. However, we tend to "data dump" our ideas and experiences. This method of information delivery frequently falls on deaf ears, droopy eyes and inaction.
Rather, packaging your presentation (or data) in the form of a story (characters, journey, obstacle, overcoming obstacle, lesson learned) results in engaged listeners who take immediate action.
If you're interested in generating significantly more follow up from your presentations, you do not want to miss this breakout session.

About Preston True
I grew up in Chicago, earned a Bachelor's Degree in English, and worked - like so many of my clients - through a series of jobs and promotions that fed my family but didn't feed my heart or spirit. I was making a living, but not a fulfilling life. I finally realized that the definitions of success and failure on which my career decisions had been based were holding me back, and that the wisdom and insight gained through my successes and failures had value for many more people than the friends and colleagues who came to me for council or advice. Today, I work with entrepreneurs, independent professionals and organizations who are leaders in their industries and who make a huge difference in their communities. As a professional coach, I am committed to the highest integrity of my results, my practice and my industry. I am a member of the International Coach Federation and a graduate of Accomplishment Coaching's Coach Training Program.

Systemic Constellations - An International Perspective - Sylvia Becker-Hill, PCC

Come and learn the latest coaching tools being used overseas. Systemic Constellations is a fresh approach to resolving personal, professional and organizational issues. Integrating chaos theory, quantum physics and morphogenetic fields with coaching practices has proven to be a powerful tool for generating results within organizations. It offers a way of mapping our client's internal or external present reality; identifying the players and their roles, revealing hidden dynamics, allowing for the interplay of many factors and providing a catalyst for action and results.
