CMR Coach Approach: Coaching Skills for Change Management Professionals Certificate Program™
In an era where new technology and the rise of AI continue to reshape how we work and the tasks we perform, the need for a more adaptive, responsive, and human-centric approach to change management is becoming more critical than ever.
Yet, many change professionals find themselves without the interpersonal skills needed to effectively bridge this gap–such as relationship building, influencing leadership, and securing organization-wide commitment to change initiatives.
This is where coaching skills prove invaluable.
By integrating coaching methodologies into your change management process, change professionals can significantly enhance their ability to connect with and empower teams, leaders, and other stakeholders, leading to more effective and sustainable change.
The Coaching Skills for Change Management Professionals Certificate Program™ equips change management professionals to apply and practice these vital coaching skills, techniques, and mindsets in their real-life change management work.
Empowering change leaders with evidence-based coaching techniques
In 2018, the Internal Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Human Capital Institute (HCI) published a study explicitly defining the benefits of applying coaching skills to change management initiatives. In fact, the study showed that participants in initiatives where coaching approaches were offered, found those approaches to be more helpful than traditional change management techniques.
In 2021, the joint ACMP Global/ICF Global Task Force team, revealed that professional coaching can significantly reduce change risks by addressing resistance and accelerating the achievement of targeted change results.
The CMR Coach Approach™ supports those findings and is designed using the ICF Competencies applied directly to change management challenges and live participant situations like difficult sponsor relationships, recalcitrant stakeholder interactions, and program management misalignment.
