    Session One:

    The Power of Positive Coaching

    The Mindset and Habits that Inspire Winning Results and Relationships

    Facilitated by Lee Colan and Julie Davis-Colan

    The central role of a leader is that of a Coach. Since most organizations don’t have enough resources for everyone to have a coach, it is up to each leader to be equipped to coach and inspire your team. This session reveals a new, transformative coaching model. It is supported by the latest positive psychology research and field-tested, actionable tools that leaders can put to work right away.

    It starts with a positive coaching mindset. Knowing your thoughts, purpose, values and emotions creates a positive coaching mindset. Once you build a positive coaching mindset, you can more authentically and effectively apply the five positive coaching habits to:

    • Gain alignment
    • Ignite engagement
    • Enlist ownership
    • Enhance accountability
    • Deepen commitment

    Lee Colan and Julie Davis-Colan

    Lee J. Colan, Ph.D. and Julie Davis-Colan, M.S. have been encouraging and equipping leaders for healthy growth since 1999. They are both former corporate leaders and current CEO advisors. Lee is an organizational psychologist. Julie is a corporate health strategist. In addition to advising CEOs, they have authored 16 leadership books that have been translated into 10 languages.

    Session Two:
