Cortex Coaching Clinic

Cortex offers participants in their Leading a Winning Team leadership program and members of the Cortex Council an opportunity to practice their coaching skills in “real time” setting. The key to becoming a great coach to your team members is learning the skills necessary to properly coach and practicing those techniques and principles. In order to build leaders confidence in their new coaching skills, Cortex offers period coaching clinics wherein leaders are paired with professionals desiring to be coached. These pairings occur with instruction to the coachees and coaches in order to ensure the best match of leader to coachee. These clinics are 1.5 hours in length and occur at the Grandin CoLab. Check with your instructor or Cortex Coach for details.

Here’s what leaders are saying about the Cortex Coaching Clinics:

“I find the coaching clinics refreshing as a coach. When trying to coach my own staff the day to day work that has to get done can get in the way; what should be a transformational conversation often becomes transactional. There are task lists, deadlines, projects to be done. By coaching others I’m able to focus just on the skills I need to develop as a coach and on the person in front of me.”

“The Cortex Coaching Clinic is a great space for leaders to engage in powerful conversation with the aim to improve organizational focus. As a manager, I have learned how to better serve my team by refocusing/redirecting conversations into a positive direction.”

“Coaching, like any other skill, is developed through continual practice. Participating in the Cortex coaching clinics has provided me with the opportunity to gain experience in the practical application of the techniques I have learned in leadership courses. I recommend the clinics to all leaders seeking to enhance their coaching skills.”
