Training and education at Gallup in 2018?
· We spend a lot of time thinking about the future
· We’re working on the set of second-level coach development opportunities
· The first level/grounding stuff is what makes up the ASC course
o We never intended for this to be it
o But is does give you a lot of stuff to work with
· The intention is to be able to then have new second-level stuff – where do you go next?
· The Advanced Strengths Coaching course
o Two pilots:
§ 2016 – 1 day on developmental milestones (1 pilot)
§ 2017 – 2 days (two pilots)
o Started with developmental milestones that came from conversations with coaches all over the world
§ We added fundamental coaching skills to it
§ Now we’re refining it and adding additional material
§ We’re playing around with it
§ We’ll run it probably 3 times in the fall – US only
§ It’s all the material that sits behind our ASC course
§ It’s more conceptual in nature
§ It’s like moving from undergraduate to graduate
§ It’s creating a meaningful shift in the clarity and ability that coaches have
· Also working on our Train the Trainer course for CliftonStrengths Discovery
o This is our intro course to strengths
o At the summit we rolled out for the first time the ability for people other than Gallup people to lead it
o 3-day train the trainer at the Summit
o Only certified coaches are allowed in it now
o There is a certification that goes with it
o Will offer it a couple times in the fall at $3500
o Designed to be basic strengths education for people
§ Good for people after they take the assessment and before they have coaching
o You can do the first ½ day as a standalone; a full day; or two half-days
o Many coaches have built their own introductory courses that serve particular audiences
o Ours is generic designed to get somebody started with strengths
o Good for people who know they can’t design something like this
o It’s a world-class course
o Is it turn key for new coaches?
§ Yes, but it’s not just for new coaches
o Also good at helping you be a better course leader
· Other certifications?
o Yes – some kind of certification around employee engagement and using the Q12
o Also broader workplace certification
§ Actively working on this
o We want to be sure to continue to support the current certification, not water it down
o We typically announce to our certified coaches first
§ We need a sandbox to play in and try stuff out
