About: Discover. Explore. Plan. Act! Coaching is all about focused dialogue through creative and thought provoking ways that stretch for maximum personal potential. Not only will you get a chance to work with someone 1:1 to explore your goals for the NOW conference, you will also get the chance to practice key coaching skills like active listening, asking open-ended questions, summarizing, and supporting your colleagues through their growth journey.
The session facilitators will demonstrate a brief peer coaching model, then create multiple rounds of breakout conversations with helpful starter questions. We encourage you to stay connected with your NOW conference buddies you meet in this session and through the day. Staying connected with those who keep you accountable to your goals is a major way to move your world forward. This is an opportunity for our workforce to expand access to coaching conversations! This session was developed in partnership with the NOW Conference Coaches’ Corner. Check out the Coaches’ Corner site to learn more about 1:1 coaching appointments available to you throughout the NOW conference. There are almost 30 trained coaching professionals here to support your growth!
