• In this changing business climate, there is no guarantee that yesterday’s success formula or organization status quo will sustain your business for tomorrow. As a coach, are you helping your clients maintaining the status quo or challenging it?
• Many organizations like to claim that they value diverse talents, but they spend most of their energy making people act the same way. As a coach, how much of your work has been in collusion with your clients to help them behave this way? Or how have you used your differences and your clients’ differences to lead the change process?

Celia Young’s presentation will emphasize that in order to help businesses successfully navigate through the changing times, we must have change leaders who have the audacity to challenge the status quo and lead the people to the mountain top for a sustainable future. These leaders can help build an organization culture that embraces the value of its diverse people and ignites the innovative spirit that will help businesses succeed.

Coaches have a significant role to play not only to help individuals but organizations change.

At the end of this program, coaches and leaders will have:

• Increased understanding of organization culture and its power dynamic
• Raised awareness of how your group identities and filters impact the way you see others and in turn how you work with them
• Expanded your repertoire of coaching choices including individual, group and organization
• Learned to be the change you want in your clients
• Increased your courage to influence
