Paradigm—An innovative coaching certification program for those who are coaching others without a conventional certification, those who fill support roles or are natural helpers on a team or in their community, and those in the wellness industry who are looking to advance their professional reach.
If you’re already a person others turn to when they need advice or resources, get the recognition, support and resources YOU deserve without requiring years of study or a drastic career change.
Foundational Components of Paradigm
Mentoring
All Paradigm participants go through the same program as Mindful Men Mentoring, alongside other like minded staff from the Tampa Bay area.
They also are assigned a personal mentor through the program.
1) mental health first aid
2) facilitating a high impact Check In
3) how to raise the personal awareness of others
4) how to name, talk about and respond to feelings
5) how to quickly coach others to identify and take responsible action towards their goals, especially those that are divergent from one’s own
6) how to effectively mediate during conflict
Community Based Skill Building
Professionalizing the servant Leader
The most significant component of a certification program is that participants receive highly effective, tailored feedback on the quality of their intentions to help others. Too many new coaches, mentors and managers fail to have their helping, informal coaching skills be observed, valued, and shaped by others who are master coaches.
Free Leadership’s model leverages the skills most participants enter the program with, to quickly formalize and catalyze a standardized tool-set. Our style emphasizes experiential learning rather than traditional lectures, readings or presentations. Paradigm provides emotionally intelligent adult learners with numerous opportunities to actively practice their pre-existing skills in front of a group of experts. At the end of the program, our participants will have numerous tools and be exposed to diverse applications of each.
Speed Coaching Sleuths
Small doses of high quality support can create exponential impact. Free Leadership believes that simple, powerful, masterful communication with others are often all that is needed to shift a person into higher levels of functioning.
At the end of the program, all participants will be trained to give someone tailored, high impact coaching that addresses a key issue in under 30 minutes.
Participants will also receive numerous handouts and templates for discovery calls, first sessions, final sessions, accountability and tracking client’s goals, creating clear agreements, and handling client’s resistance.
This program is for you if you already have an idea about how coaching could fit into your life, and now are ready to professionalize your skills as a servant leader.
