I am very pleased to be part of the faculty, too. I will be running two webinars.
Solution focused leadership, where I will explore the specifics and effects of coaching as a leadership competence and iscuss tools that have been used successfully by solution focused leaders.
In the second webinar, Solution focused HR, I will cover how to talk with your line managers more effectively, develop more effective performance appraisals, enrich your diversity management or develop your employees more efficiently. I will also share practical “HR micro tools” that will be very useful with employees, especially when time is limited. These sessions will also be recorded.
Free introductory sessions to the Brief Coach Training approach are scheduled for 18, 23 March and 14 April 2010 at The Gestalt Centre, near Old Street tube between 6.30 and 8.30pm. Further sessions are being held in Brighton on 15 and 27 April.

About Brief Coaching
Brief Coaching is a solutions-focused approach that is accelerating progress and delivering business change faster than mainstream coaching. The free introductory sessions will focus on Becoming an Effective Coach and delegates will receive free coaching and materials to get started immediately. As coaching has become more embedded into business culture, SolutionSurfers has seen a shift towards a more solutions-focused approach to coaching for achieving more immediate results. Brief Coaching is being successfully implemented into companies worldwide, including a top 4 UK accountancy firm who comment:
“Brief Coaching is a solutions-focused approach that has proved to be very effective with our team. Traditionally we are problem focused and look for gaps. However, Brief Coach Training has shown us that by taking an outcome or solutions focus approach and looking for what’s already working is a simple, quick and fast way of delivering the desired change. Like any organisation time is critical, so we have adopted this approach to our coaching and find it very powerful in getting results faster than before. It is the next step in the evolution of business coaching.”
