Coach Approach to Adaptive Leadership Webinar #6 “The Coach Approach - A Deep Dive Into The Ladder of Inference” 

This webinar provides the viewer with a deeper understanding of Chris Argyris model: The Ladder of Inference. The Ladder of Inference illustrates our mental process of filtering and interpreting data from our own biases and how that impacts what and how we see the world around us. We have found that this model is helpful for allowing us with The Coach Approach to further explore our complex situations and discover opportunities for new possibilities.

Coach Approach to Adaptive Leadership “The Coach Approach Review – Coaching to Create Accountability in Others” Webinar 2020-05

 

Coaching for accountability can be challenging and often misunderstood.  In this webinar, we will review accountability in the Coach Approach any why we must ask those we work with commit to accountability for their plans and ideas.  Putting purposefulness in an uncommitted world drives us to make change.  This webinar will cover why we asked for the commitment of accountability, why commitment is critical, asking questions to understand what they need to commit,  making requests for the commitment, and what we must do as coaches to assure accountability.  Our objective is for you to leave this webinar with a rich understanding of the value and the need for accountability.

The Coach Approach Model as a Trauma-Sensitive Method of Supervision and Engagement

Presented on March 14, 2022 by Mary Garrett Itin and Mark Durgin

Coaching is a powerful tool for improving leadership in youth, family, and systems interactions, building more robust and effective communication while empowering youth and family voices at all levels. The Coach Approach to Adaptive Leadership (CAAL) training was developed to strengthen the way we work with and engage one another, both professionally and personally. The CAAL philosophical belief is that all individuals are capable and able to solve their challenges and emphasizes that the leader/coach is not the expert or the judge but creates a partnership for learning and change.
 
This training connects coaching as a daily practice to respond to complexity in times of uncertainty while connecting to trauma-informed philosophies. As systems are becoming more trauma-informed, they must model trauma-informed behaviors with all they work with. Using the CAAL, we are present to have natural and empowering trauma-informed interactions.

The Coach Approach Model Changing the Conversation and Being Trauma-Informed

Presented at the National Federation of Families Conference on November 4, 2021.  

A National Federation of Families' 2021 Virtual Conference workshop titled "The Coach Approach Model: Changing the Conversation and Being Trauma-Informed" - presented by Mark Durgin (Pennsylvania Care Partnership), Ellen Kagen (Kagen Leadership Group), Valarie Oulds (Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services) and Lisa Snitzer (Mental Health Partners).

The Coach Approach to Adaptive Leadership (CAAL) training was developed to strengthen the way we work with and engage one another, both professionally and personally. The CAAL philosophical belief is that all individuals are capable and able to solve their challenges and emphasizes that the leader/coach is not the expert, or the judge, but creates a partnership for learning and change. The CAAL is a cross-system collaboration within Systems of Care (SOC) to support health and human services organizations in building coaching skills to be adaptive leaders. This training connects coaching as a daily practice to respond to complexity in times of uncertainty while connecting to trauma-informed philosophies. As systems are becoming more trauma-informed, they must model trauma-informed behaviors with all they work with. Using the CAAL, we are present to have natural and empowering trauma-informed interactions.

The CAAL curriculum was designed to orient participants to a coaching model, provide opportunities to practice real coaching, and customize the coaching application to the unique needs of each organization. Coaching focuses on skills and abilities to reach targeted outcomes, enhance performance, and develop more profound levels of critical thinking. This training will detail how the Coach Approach is aligned with the System of Care with a shared set of values which includes youth and family-driven; community-based; cultural and linguistic competence; strength-based; multi-system integration; trauma-informed; and quality and outcomes-oriented. We will provide real examples of how this approach has been implemented and can be duplicated in your organization or community. The presentation will detail how and why we are collecting data and how we are using this data to enhance the training. Participants are encouraged to come with an open mind and some challenges they would like to address.

This training will detail how the Coach Approach is aligned with the System of Care with a shared set of values, including youth and family-driven; community-based; cultural and linguistic competence; strength-based; multi-system integration; trauma-informed; and quality/outcomes-oriented.
