CE-554 Coaching for STEM Leaders: Core Coaching Competencies


This coaching program is designed to introduce the basic principles, structures, techniques and practices of leadership coaching using didactic and experiential learning processes. Participants will use this knowledge to develop effective and responsive coaching strategies for working with a variety of individuals, with a focus on the STEM fields. The course will begin with an overview of some of the key evidence-based theories and principles that underpin effective coaching practices. Since cultural orientations and frameworks influence both coach and client, this course will merge coaching with theory, gender, and intercultural communication. Participants will receive a manual that includes relevant excerpts from scholars and researchers in several disciplines, including psychology, sociology, and communication. The program is offered in the form of thirty (30) hours of workshops, webinars and other subsequent activities, both in person and virtually, that will allow participants to practice coaching and receive developmental feedback from the facilitator. Twenty-four (24) of the total number of hours can later be applied toward a formal coaching certification (e.g. ICF, CTE, IPEC, etc.).
