Event Date
A Virtual Event Hosted by UC Davis
Despite the challenges faced with COVID-19, coaching continues to grow in the field of health and human services. Organizations across the nation are finding that coaching, whether it's external, internal, group or individual, is providing much-needed support for staff and clients to:
- Embed and promote best practices into everyday practice
- Think more critically about difficult situations to develop solutions
- Gain confidence in skills and abilities and discovery of untapped potential
- Enhance existing coaching programs through coach training, and evaluating coaching outcomes
Hosted by UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education Human Services, this conference provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues across the nation—from those completely new to coaching, to those currently deep in the implementation process, to those anywhere in between—who are passionate about supporting professional growth and helping people achieve success through coaching. Together we will learn from each other's successes and challenges as we continue to develop coaching programs that benefit human services professionals and the clients we serve.
Who Should Attend
- Coaches who work with human services professionals or clients
- Trainers who are interested in learning more about coaching
- Leaders in the field of human services who are interested in exploring and/or improving coaching and programs that utilize coaching
- Professional development staff who are either already implementing coaching programs or are curious about coaching
- Administrators with existing coaching programs whom are interested with expanding on training coaches and evaluating their coaching program
Keynote Speakers
Hazel Morley
"Shift from Chaos to Clarity: Give Yourself and Others Time to Think"
Life has become chaotic, complex and uncertain. There are incessant and competing demands for our time, attention and energy. We have become habituated to urgency, control and busyness. As a result, we are more disconnected, distracted and stressed than we've ever been.
It's time to reclaim your attention and capacity to think clearly, for yourself, as yourself. In this interactive presentation, participants will learn one simple promise, four questions and ten game-changing, practical behaviors that generate independent, imaginative and courageous thinking. Applying these restores ease, and creates an energizing, productive, psychologically safe and inclusive environment. They are transformational skills for any leader, coach and communicator to use with individuals and groups.
Hazel Morley is a Time to Think coach, facilitator, teacher, global faculty member and chair for the North American Collegiate. In this professional capacity she works with individuals, teams and organizations to help them create the conditions that enable everyone to perform at their best. As an experienced learning and development practitioner, Ms. Morley has worked with a range of organizations in diverse sectors, helping them create change and improve results by investing in what matters most—people.
Aiko Bethea
"Transactional vs Transformational Leadership and Equity"
In a world often filled with multiple demands and task-driven priorities, we sometimes lose sight of self-compassion and empathy for others. We will explore the role of empathy for both the families we serve in human services and as colleagues. We will also discuss resiliency and a concept by Brené Brown, Living BIG (Boundaries, Integrity and Generosity) to ensure we tend to the “wellness” in our lives.
