Coaching the Creative Leaders of Our Future
Saturday, September 27, 2008
Professional Coach Association of Michigan (PCAM)
Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center, East Lansing, MI
Our economy is becoming increasingly dependent upon right-brain function for productivity, effectiveness and success. As left-brain dominated jobs are shipped overseas or automated, more and more executives with creative, innovative ways of thinking and being are leading their organizations forward. This skill set has historically been seen as a “disability” (i.e. ADD, etc.) when in fact people with this focus are often the most successful business leaders and are supercharged for success in the future. This workshop will help Coaching practitioners understand this group of emerging leaders and how they can partner with them to leverage their gifts and strengths during this time of economic transition.
