Join ICF NYC for its September Breakfast and a Book Club meeting to kick off your week with a mental boost! This month we delve into Michael Bungay Stanier’s The Coaching Habit.

Summary Details

When: Sept 13, 2021, 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Facilitator:  Lora Lebo, MHRM, PCC, SPHR, SHRM-SCP

Format:  Virtual - Zoom meeting format, cameras enabled

CCEUs: 1 TBD

About the ICF NYC Book Club

The ICF NYC Book Club is an opportunity for attendees to delve deeper into their learning from the book and to share highlights from what they read, implications for their coaching practice, and more. Book club meetings are not book previews or presentations and active participation and contribution is expected from all attendees. 

Meeting Guidelines:

• Out of respect for our facilitator and other attendees, please be sure to read at least portions of the book prior to attending so that meaning, intent and application may be discussed with depth.  Familiarity with the content enables a much more meaningful exchange and conversation.

• As with any virtual call, please be prepared to have your video and audio on, with limited distraction.  Turn off all notifications.  

• In order to receive CCEU credit, you must be present and actively participate.

• Come in your pajamas! We don’t care about how you look, only the intellectual contribution you bring.

Meetings will be held consistently on the second Monday of each month at two time offerings: 8 AM and 1PM New York time (except where may be otherwise indicated). You must register for the session you plan to attend as the two meeting times have different Zoom meeting links -- they are not interchangeable.  

Attendance at every meeting is not necessary.  You may participate based upon your preference for the book.  The intended purpose of this offering is to broaden and deepen our knowledge of current practices in the coaching profession and in the business world.

Please register early!  If registration is low, or non-existent, for any specific book, we will revisit the selection and float a poll to the membership to select a replacement book.  We therefore encourage participants to register early for meetings so that we may assess interest at an early stage.

About The Book

Title: The Coaching Habit

Author: Michael Bungay Stanier

Publication Date: 2016

Description: 

In Michael Bungay Stanier's The Coaching Habit, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so managers and their teams can work less hard and have more impact.

Drawing on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers from around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your peoples' potential. He unpacks seven essential coaching questions to demonstrate how--by saying less and asking more--you can develop coaching methods that produce great results.

• Get straight to the point in any conversation with The Kickstart Question

• Stay on track during any interaction with The Awe Question

• Save hours of time for yourself with The Lazy Question, and hours of time for others with The Strategic Question

• Get to the heart of any interpersonal or external challenge with The Focus Question and The Foundation Question

• Finally ensure others find your coaching as beneficial as you do with The Learning Question

A fresh innovative take on the traditional how-to manual, the book combines insider information with research based in neuroscience and behavioural economics, together with interactive training tools to turn practical advice into practiced habits. Witty and conversational, The Coaching Habit takes your work--and your workplace--from good to great.
