OVERVIEW OF THE TALK: COACHING FOR INSPIRATION, MOTIVATION AND

ENGAGEMENT

Growing and developing is a major driving force in our quest to help others, make a difference

and contribute to a better organization and society. Coaches, as a class of people who help others,

establish a deep emotional connection with others called resonance, whether teacher-student, professor-

student, doctor-patient, nurse-patient, coach-coachee, mentor-protégé, manager-subordinate, and likely

parent-child and spouse/partner to spouse/partner. They are literally, in tune with clients. Their own

levels of emotional intelligence allow them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use

their EI on the path through mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness.

These experiences of mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness are essential to renewal of

the human organism at the neurological, hormonal, emotional, and behavioral levels. Based on decades

of research into emotional intelligence competencies and longitudinal studies in their development,

Professor Richard Boyatzis will lead the audience through examples of how coaching with

compassion (i.e., coaching a person to the PEA, their vision and values) is key to leadership

development and more resonant relationships. He will describe recent fMRI studies on coaching to

the Positive Emotional Attractor (PEA) versus the Negative Emotional Attractor (NEA), as well as

recent doctor-patient studies showing that arousal of the PEA increased treatment adherence for Type II

Diabetics. He will explain why it is central to neuro-endocrine renewal in the human body (which is the

only antidote to the ravages of chronic stress).

This session will address the following:

1. A process for developing sustainable improvement on EI, resonant relationships and the central role

of compassion in it.

2. Understanding the psycho-physiological role of the Positive Emotional Attractor and the Negative

Emotional Attractor in motivating change or encouraging the status quo regression.

3. Perceiving how coaching with compassion is effective in helping people change in sustainable ways,

but coaching for compliance is not. And why it is crucial to the sustainability of the leader (i.e.,

the coach) as well.

4. Understanding the neural activations involved in these two forms of coaching and why one prepares a

person to consider change and learning and the other closes their minds.

5. How to coach others to develop EI, resonant leadership, and to sustainably change.

June 10th, 2017 is a historic day where members of the Association of ACTO and GSAEC will come together for a joint conference on the challenges we face when developing coaches. This day will be part of each ACTO and GSAEC’s annual conferences, and an excellent opportunity to connect, co-create, and collaborate.

KEYNOTE DR RICHARD BOYATZIS

SAT JUNE 10, 2017

CALL  FOR  PAPERS    

The  third  issue  of  Philosophy  of  Coaching:  An  International  Journal  focuses  on  coach  training  and  education.    This  theme  arose  in  part  as  a  result  of  a  joint  conference  being  held  by  the  Association  of  Coach  Training  Organizations  (ACTO)  and  the  Graduate  School  Alliance  for  Education  in  Coaching  (GSAEC)  in  Toronto,  Canada,  in  June  2017.      

We  invite  papers  that  address  the  following  questions:    1.  What  do  we  mean  by  coach  education?  What  do  we  mean  by  coach  training?    How  are  they  different?    How  are  they  the  same?    How  are  they  related?  

2.  What  philosophies,  paradigms,  and  approaches  underlie  coach  education  and  training?    

3.  What  are  the  current  challenges  and  opportunities  in  coach  education  and  training?  

4.   How  has  coach  education  and  training  evolved  over  the  past  15  years?  What  factors  or  conditions  have  led  to  its  evolution?  

5.  What  gaps  in  education  or  in  training  need  to  be  addressed  to  serve  the  future  of  coaching  (as  a  field)  over  the  next  10  years?  

6.  What  is  the  future  of  coach  education  and  training  over  the  next  10  years?  What  factors  or  conditions  contribute  to  its  evolution?  

Other  questions  include:    1.   Given  that  there  are  well  over  500  coach  training/education  programs  in  the  expanding  industry  of  coaching,  how  can  prospective  students  and  coaches  of  all  levels  of  development  differentiate  between  the  various  programs  and  choose  the  best  one  for  them?    

2.   How  do  coach  training  schools  and  education  programs  think  about  and  address  competition?      

3.  What  certificates  and  degrees  are  available  to  coaches  today?  4.  What  are  the  current  trends  in  coach  training  and  education?  

5.  What  are  the  ways  in  which  ACTO  and  GSAEC  are  collaborating,  and  what  role  can  collaboration  play  in  the  preparation  and  development  of  coaches  at  every  level?    

For  the  sake  of  clarity,  we  offer  one  possible  definition  of  coach  training  and  coach  education:    

Coach  training  involves  learning  how  to  coach  –  how  to  apply,  in  practice,  the  research  and  theories  that  professional  coaching  is  based  on.    Coach  education  involves  learning  how  to  analyze,  evaluate,  and  create  those  theories.  

 We  invite  the  following  kinds  of  submission:    •   Research  Papers  (5,000  words  approx.)  that  bring  together  multiple,  well-­researched  perspectives  on  a  given  topic  

•   Position  Papers  (3,000  words  approx.)  that  articulate  a  single,  well-­researched  perspective  on  a  given  topic  

•   Book  Reviews  (1,000-­2,000  words  approx.)  that  summarize,  reflect  on  and  evaluate  books  relevant  to  coaches  that  have  been  published  in  the  past  12  months  (Book  Reviews  do  not  need  to  relate  directly  to  the  theme).  

•   Response  Papers  (1,000  words  approx.)  that  take  up  and  respond  to  ideas,  themes  and  perspectives  published  in  previous  issues  of  Philosophy  of  Coaching  (available  at  philosophyofcoaching.org)  

 The  deadline  for  submissions  is  August  1st,  2017.    Instructions  on  how  to  submit  a  paper  are  available  at:    https://philosophyofcoaching.org/submit/
