Coaching is a precise process of curating and fostering change. Contrary to the popular belief that coaching works in mysterious ways, evidence-based research demonstrates that the process of curating itself can be made visible to the level of the smallest unit of exchange between coach and client: the dialogical interaction. Coaching as dialogue is not an individual behavior but an interactive space, and the coordination of moment-by-moment micro-interactions can be described and observed. In this highly practical webinar, the research behind a simple yet profound framework called the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant will be introduced as a useful tool for coaching praxis, research and pedagogy. Participants will gain valuable skills to bring even more rigor to their coaching practice and deepen their knowledge of how coaching really works. 

Participants will learn:

• What differentiates an effective coaching dialogue from all the others
• How does effective dialogue accelerate the change process for coach and coachee
• How does each participant (coach and coachee) contribute to making dialogue work
