Coaching as a Leadership Tool

A Program to Build your Leadership Toolbox

Fieldstone Leadership Network San Diego is pleased to present Coaching as a Leadership Tool, an expert developed 3-course learning opportunity that will prepare leaders and managers to use coaching as a leadership tool in managing others. The program is offered in partnership with the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance. This is the second programmatic partnership between Fieldstone and NLA.

Research has shown that incorporating coaching into one’s leadership style helps to transform, renew, energize and inspire one’s team while nurturing effective and humane organizations, networks and communities. In a world of increasing complexity, we believe the world need more leaders who are equipped and able to lead like this.

The program is open to those working in the nonprofit sector and currently in a leadership position or to those aspiring to manage others in the future. The series will arm learners with a toolkit of resources and the confidence to coach a team to reach its full potential. Participants who complete all course requirements are eligible for an E-Certificate and a digital badge in Coaching as a Leadership Tool.

This certificate program includes online course material for learners to complete independently and three in-person “coaching conversations” with others in the cohort. Each cohort will be comprised of approximately 16 leaders. “Coaching Conversations” will be facilitated gatherings and will focus on each of the program’s three courses. Learners are expected to complete each course before the in-person gathering so they are able to participate actively in the discussion. All Coaching Conversations will take place at the Fieldstone Leadership Network San Diego’s offices in University City.

The program includes:

The Self-Aware Leader

This course is about taking time to explore your own values as a leader. The focus is on the “inner” you in leadership. Of course, this process of self-reflection is an ongoing task — one that never ends. This course provides you the window of time to focus on self-awareness. You will participate in many leadership assessments that give you a better understanding of your own strengths.

Coaching Conversations: A Unique Addition

Because we believe in the power of sharing personal wisdom and experiences to augment our theoretical learning, and offer support to other leaders, we have crafted a unique in-person component to the online curriculum called “Coaching Conversations”. “Coaching Conversations” will be in-person small group gatherings for all participating in the online course and will take place monthly, for a total of three meetings. They are designed to give learners an opportunity to explore the course material and practice coaching with others. They are also designed to reflect the value we place on learning communally, building relationships with other nonprofit leaders and reciprocity. .

The three-part online series is estimated to take 11 hours to complete. Coaching Conversations will total 9 hours.
