Living Stories: Books That Are Human and Their Transformative Experiences

IOC West Coast Roundtable Leader Eileen Coskey Fracchia, is thrilled to co-host Roundtable #25 with Candy Deemer and guest facilitator Diane Knoepke a 2-hour virtual roundtable August 8, 2024, 8:00am – 10:00am PST. Our conversation will be centered around understanding how activities inspired by "The Human Library®” can enhance today’s coaching practices. This unique approach involves "books" that are real people, sharing their stories through engaging conversations.

During our time together, we will explore how Coaches can support Leaders (and the people on their teams) in growing their Curiosity muscle, and muting their Judgment reflex, so they can create a deeper understanding of each other, and work more collaboratively (and happily) together. We will create a safe space to discuss sensitive topics openly and without judgment, interact with 4 Human Books to fuel our curiosity, and engage in smaller groups to dive deeper.

Originally developed in Copenhagen, The Human Library® offers a powerful way to challenge stereotypes, broaden perspectives, and foster cultural and social understanding.

If you are not familiar with The Human Library®, here is a very short video that explains its core concepts. Our session will be using this concept to explore and expand our coaching skills and practices.

Join us to create a dynamic dialogue that not only broadens our perspectives but also fosters a community of shared wisdom. Engage in activities designed to provoke conversation, stimulate ideas, and provide a platform for this exciting topic.

Let's explore, learn, and grow together!

If you have questions or need additional information, please email Eileen Fracchia or Tiffany Dally.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Roundtable meetings promise:

• A marketing-free, inclusive, and peer-based learning space for coaches to learn about and share new coaching concepts and research.
• A community of coaching professionals to provide peer coaching and support for developing the “growing edge” of our respective capabilities.
• Ways to apply the resources available through the IOC to real coaching situations through case consultation and group seminars.

The format is a series of three to four 2-hour events over the course of the year. Each session includes a topic facilitated by an IOC member, discussion of practice and application with that topic, along with case consultation and peer coaching depending on the topic and needs of the group.
