We are co-hosting with the North Florida ICF Chapter! Join us on Aug 26th at 12pm CST via Zoom with Tijen Genco.

As a Master Mentor Coach and ICF Assessor at all three levels, Tijen has seen firsthand that one of the biggest challenges for coaches is the agenda-setting process. It's easy to get caught on the surface of a client's request and miss the deeper need.

This meeting is designed to help you move beyond surface-level structure to the core of where true transformation resides. Using Tijen’s Genco Method Coaching with Precision© framework, which blends holistic listening with Lean/Six Sigma principles, you'll learn to sculpt an agenda with precision and presence.

This three-part, interactive session will provide you with the tools to help clients achieve their desired outcomes, from behavioral change to neural recalibration, ensuring that these outcomes are not only achievable but also resonant and sustainable.

The Internal Coaching Network (ICN), a partnership between International Coaching Federation Minnesota Chapter (ICF MN) and Center for Coaching in Organizations (CCO), brings together professionals who are leading or participating in internal coaching programs within organizations across the Twin Cities.

ICN creates a confidential, judgment-free space for internal coaches to connect, share best practices, and explore common challenges such as strategic alignment, program funding, and leading change inside organizations. Through a mix of in-person and virtual gatherings throughout the year, the network fosters learning, innovation, and community among those advancing coaching cultures within their organizations.

If you are currently leading or participating in an internal coaching program and are interested in learning more or joining the network, we invite you to connect with the ICN community. Meetings are held every other month, either virtually or in person. For more information, please reach out to ICN Core Team member Jim Willenbring, CPCC, PCC at [email protected].

Join us on Aug 11th at 11:30am CST with Karen Mathre, PCC.

This is the 3rd demonstration out of 4. The topic is Competency 8: Facilitates Client Growth.

This session launches a new year-long coaching demonstration series designed to give participants a rare opportunity to observe the full arc of a real coaching engagement rather than a single stand-alone session. Across four sessions spread over the year, the same professional coach and the same volunteer client will work together on one meaningful topic, allowing attendees to witness continuity, relationship development, evolving agreements, and measurable progress over time.

Each session will spotlight specific ICF Core Competencies while still honoring the natural flow of the coaching conversation.

Each session will spotlight specific ICF Core Competencies while still honoring the natural flow of the coaching conversation. The client will select a goal broad enough to explore over several months, yet focused enough to demonstrate tangible movement within four sessions.

Examples might include building a business, planning a milestone life event, or navigating a career transition.
Attending the whole arc is ideal but not required. Each session will offer richness and depth around each competency, worth observing.

Note: Because this is a live demonstration, the call will be locked 10 minutes after the session starts to avoid disruption to the coaching conversation. Please make sure you login the call by 11:30am CST. Thank you for understanding.
