And, you will learn about four talent management assessments that address managing change, managing conflict, relationship management, and career management and how to incorporate them into your coaching.

Cluster Or Individual Training

Leadership Coach Academy offers an innovative learning model that provides you with a unique opportunity to receive semi-individualized coaching and training tailored to your particular needs and interests.

Choose between 1) individual training, or 2) a small cluster of usually up to 10 peer students led by Nancy Branton. Either way, we can GUARANTEE that if you do the work you will come away with the know-how to qualify for the certification of Certified Leadership & Talent Management Coach.

Why The Academy?

These skills cannot be mastered in a weekend format. (have you ever come back to your office after being at a great conference, only to forget half of what you've learned or be too busy to implement the other half?) Nor can coaching be mastered entirely by embarking on self-directed study or reading books (much the same as taking a course on music appreciation does not equip you to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata).

Leadership Coach Academy's 15-week format allows you to turn coaching theory into reality as you “practice coach” in a safe, small-group format and integrate it into your practice over a period of time.

Time

We “meet” from the comfort of home/office via telephone bridge line for 15 weeks, for just under 2 hours each time (we take a quick “stretch” break in the middle of each session). Total class hours are 30. The beauty of the 15-week program allows you the time and framework to assimilate, practice and execute the new systems, strategies, and communication styles learned.

Individual 1-on-1 training will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time and can be compressed into a slightly shorter time frame or stretched to a slightly longer time frame—whatever will work best for your schedule. Start dates for individual training must be scheduled 3-4 weeks in advance.

Clusters are scheduled to meet once each week for 15 consecutive weeks via a telephone bridge line that connects you with your instructor and your cluster-mates. See our calendar or email Terri@LeadershipCoachAcademy.com for upcoming dates and times.

Technology

No special computer technology is required for the coaching clusters, although it is highly recommended that you have a computer for obtaining email and sharing files. Also, if you don't already have one, purchase a good quality telephone headset and use a telephone that is not dependent on a battery charge.
