Professional
Coaching Skills
We start with an overview of professional coaching and how it’s
distinguished from other professional relationships. We'll delve quickly
into essential coaching skills based on the ICF (International Coaching
Federation) core competencies: co-creating the relationship, establishing
coaching presence, and effective communication. Finally, we introduce
a coaching model designed specifically for organizers to seamlessly
apply the coaching skill set. read more...
ADD
Organizing Skills
This module is designed, in part, as an in-depth exploration of Denslow’s
National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization's one-hour teleclasses
(Basic ADD, Normalizing ADD, Collaborative Strategies, ADD, CD and
the Organizing Process.) These three weeks of training focus on developing
a greater understanding of the ADD client and their organizing needs.
You will learn how to:
- Create custom systems with the eight functioning modalities.
- Work with internal and external motivation.
- Engage the client in productivity, curiosity and wonder regarding organizing tasks and the workings of their own brain.
- Use ADD organizing strategies which can be applied successfully to any client.
- Create interest and skills in the client in comprehending time, building organizing capacity, and making decisions about the things in their lives. read more...
ADD
Coaching Skills
Here we will integrate the first two modules, sharing our experience
in coaching the challenging client and learning the important distinctions
that set ADD Coaching skills apart from general coaching. We will
work with specific client scenarios and real client interactions.
You will learn how to:
- Solidifying your skill set.
- Learn the "won't" vs. "can't" distinction.
- Tap into the client's awareness and learning.
- Unlock
the stuck client. read more...
Plus -- Skill Building Sessions
Participants in the class will also meet by teleconference outside of class throughout the two months. In these small groups you will coach each other using techniques that have been demonstrated and defined in class. Denslow or Cam will attend at least one of your early sessions. Questions and insights will be reviewed in class. In this way, the skills you are learning will be yours by the time the nine-week course is completed.

Background
on The Coaching Module
The coaching profession is newer than the organizing profession, yet
there are many more coaches than organizers (ICF estimates 50,000).
A coach is more than a cheerleader or a source of expert advice. A
coach provides a powerful and transformative questioning and listening
environment which supports a client's connection with what matters
most to them and the life they want. "The Coach Approach for
Organizers" will give you the tools to empower a client to cut
through indecision, over-saving and too many priorities.

Background
on The ADD Organizing Module
Roughly 5-8% of the American population (approximately 10 million
adults) have Attention Deficit Disorder according to NIMH surveys.
Only 15% have been diagnosed. Since one of the primary indicators
of ADD is disorganization, people with ADD likely make up a significant
portion of every organizer's client population -- and we and they
only rarely know they are struggling with it. Perhaps this is why
Denslow has observed over the last nine years that ADD organizing
and coaching strategies make her more effective with 100% of her clients,
ADD or not.

Background
on The ADD Coaching Module
Denslow writes: "In the early 1990's I was frustrated in my organizing
work – by the feeling of being what I call a "Drive-by
Organizer". I left happy clients knowing that the beautiful order
we had created was peaking right at that moment -- and was likely
to never be consistently used in the ways the client and I had fantasized.
I knew this, of course, because of the eventual phone call to reorganize
the same area a month or year later. I searched for an answer to this
problem in various professional areas and found the most profound
and on-target answers in the world of ADD Coaching. That expertise,
combined with the organizing skills I'd developed in NAPO, NSGCD and
on-site with my clients, has provided me with a fascinating and lucrative
shift in my business, and a remarkable and effective new relationship
with my clients, their lives and their new-found organization."

What
organizers who have taken this course say about it:
"I
registered with a very narrow focus but quickly learned that my expectations
were too limited, as was my vision of what coaching could offer to
both me and my clients."
"This class both affirmed what I have done and opened the door to the direction I want to pursue. It was totally exhilarating and stimulating. I think the coach skill building sections were such a great strategy. Thank you! Thank you!"
"I really like specific facts and no fluff. For the most part this course was all fact and little fluff!"
"My primary goals were to figure out if I should pursue coaching certification and to learn the language and mechanics of coaching. This course helped me immensely. My understanding of the skills that I've used intuitively is much stronger; I'm more confident about these skills because of your course."
"The training was invaluable."
"I really enjoyed the skills content. It opened up a whole new area for me to learn and practice."
"I checked everything as superlative because I really feel everything was. I couldn't have asked for more… I'm already applying these skills in other areas of my life and work."
"Thank you so much for offering this class! I couldn't have been more pleased."
"…I just want to thank both of you for your dedication and total commitment to our learning this material. It was very valuable. You have taken years of education and experience and distilled it down to a very useful course. Thanks! Can't say enough."
"The coaching skills gave me confidence in the most challenging client interactions."
In the
course evaluation, all of the students were asked how well the course
met the goals they had identified in the first class as their personal
reasons for signing up. There were 15 different reasons offered (like
"enhance my professional organizer skills," "learn
coaching skills," "integrate organizer and coach approaches,"
"learn ADD organizing skills," "pursue coaching as
a service," "gain more wholeness in my work"). The
evaluation asked them for a 1-5 rating on how well their goals were
met. Every goal averaged better than a 4 response. Over all, the average
was 4.52 "My goals [in signing up for the class] were completely
surpassed."
