Leadership Growth Coaching Event |
The Farmingdale SBDC is offering a Powerful Group Coaching (PGC) session with two accredited ICF coaches—Helen Junda and LJ Finney. Powerful Group Coaching (PGC) can help change your business from the inside out. Group coaching is a transformational process in which highly skilled coaches work with a group of individuals who share common objectives (business owners/ executives/ students) in order to engage the members in an interactive, action-learning environment and guide them to work together to help each individual achieve a specific business outcome. Below are some key benefits: • Learning to identify certain limiting beliefs, lack of confidence, and inaction that might be keeping you stuck in the weeds • Learning to reframe your thinking and use critical skills and strategies to advance your business and conquer F.E.A.R. (false, evidence, appearing real) • Discovering how to make more effective strategic decisions as a leader • Learning to create and use a decision support team to make more informed decisions and to feel less isolated • Developing a deeper awareness of how your thoughts are connected to your actions • Gaining tools to build a team that can work independently |
