Coach Training 2: Residential Lab: (36 Hours)
Before signing up for this training, one must have completed Coach Training 1.
Building on the skills and practices from Coach Training 1, the Coach Training 2 Residential Lab will continue to utilize the structure of the core competencies and increase knowledge and skill on the practice of coaching. The residential lab will focus on using assessment tools in coaching, working with groups and teams, and other approaches to coaching--including adaptive leadership, appreciative inquiry, and asset/strengths based awareness. It is expected that participants will have a thorough working knowledge of ICF Core Competencies and be able to exhibit those competencies through application and experiential exercises throughout this lab. Participants will receive coaching feedback, supervision and suggestions regarding application to their own setting. These hours are applicable for ICF and Board Certified Credentialing.
Coaching Practicum follows the Residential Lab, and is included in the cost for the course. The Practicum consists of a series of teleconferences and/or webinars (90 minute sessions) scheduled one per month, for 6 months. We've designed the Practicum to accommodate each participant in coaching another participant from the group, and to receive written core competency based observation and feedback from their fellow participants and the facilitator.

The time between permanent pastors is an important time for a faith community. Members often operate at maximum capacity as they make crucial decisions about the future direction of the congregation. Their experience is enhanced by engaging a leader specifically trained in the dynamics of transition.
This conference will prepare participants to:
- Develop a covenant with a congregation that clearly describes the responsibilities of the interim minister and the congregation.
- Enter a congregation in order to more quickly join with them in ministry.
- Study the health of a congregation and determine where they might need assistance.
- Articulate the role of the interim pastor in planning for the congregation’s future, including appropriate contact with the Pastor Search/Call Committee.
- Prepare the congregation for the coming of a new minister.
- Exit a congregation in a way that models good closure for ministry and the opening of a new chapter in the faith community’s life.
Interim Ministry 1 is designed to meet the basic needs of traditional interim ministers. For those who want to apply for advanced training in intentional interim ministry (Interim Ministry 2), this introductory course qualifies as 17 of the 85 required hours.
The conference begins on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. and will end on Wednesday,February 21, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.
