The Wall Street Journal's #1 Best Selling Author, Marshall Goldsmith, to
speak at The University of Georgia this Fall
|
Athens, GA - (July 31, 2007) - As more organizations include coaching strategies as part of
their executive development initiatives, the need for competent,
certified executive coaches has soared. On October 30, 2007, the world's
top executive coach, Marshall Goldsmith, will be a guest speaker in the
Sherpa Executive Coaching Certification Program at the University of
Georgia Center for Continuing Education Conference Center & Hotel in
Athens, Georgia. The Georgia Center is located at 1197 S. Lumpkin St.,
Athens, Ga.
The Sherpa Executive Coaching Certification Program will teach
participants to be an effective executive coach through mastery of the
six-phase Sherpa Coaching process. Participants will learn techniques
necessary to enable others to achieve professional success. Marshall
Goldsmith says: "The Sherpa process lets people learn the difficult art
of coaching, and gives them the freedom to apply it in their own way."
Upon successful completion of this 60-hour program, participants will
earn the designation of Certified Executive Coach from Sherpa Coaching
LLC as well as 6.0 University of Georgia Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
The Sherpa Executive Coaching process is based on the book The Sherpa
Guide: Process-Driven Executive Coaching by Brenda Corbett and Judith
Colemon, and taught by both authors. The Sherpa Guide is a book packed
with actionable items -- tips and techniques for the coach to use with any
client. A signed copy is included with the program fee.

The Sherpa Philosophy for Leadership Development
Peoples' strengths take them to leadership positions, but only by
addressing weaknesses -- those obstacles that prevent leaders from
getting to the next level of success -- can they continue their way to
the top. Sherpa coaches are skilled at turning weaknesses into new
strengths. Like Sherpa mountain guides, Sherpa coaches guide, advise and
assist, allowing leaders to reach the summit through their own skill and
will.
Program details are subject to change. The experienced professionals at
the Georgia Center can create training and development programs that can
be tailored to meet your business needs; on-site and customized programs
