Join us for November's ICF Virginia Chapter Professional Development, “Conversational Intelligence® – Helping Your Coaching Clients Build Trust One Conversation at a Time” with Wendy Swire!

1.Core CCEU


Transformation, innovation and collaboration are required more than ever to deal with complexity and exponential workplace change, during our current COVID reality and beyond.  The fundamental skill of having productive conversations is what drives this needed change. Unfortunately, according to research, 9 out of 10 workplace conversations “miss the mark” and are not effective with virtual communication increasing the challenge primarily due to lack of trust.  Coaches have a critical role in helping clients improve the quality and content of workplace conversations.  In this interactive presentation, you will explore key aspects of the Conversational Intelligence (C-IQ®) approach with key take-aways that coaches can share with clients.

What is C-IQ®? Why is It Different than Other Communication Coaching Protocols?

As we communicate, interact and converse, we are literally building networks, frameworks and different capabilities into our brain. In some conversations, we trigger each other in ways that cause our lower and more primitive brain to go into protective behaviors and close down. Yet, other conversations make us feel good, positive, introspective and connected to others.  Through neuroscience research, we now understand that positive (Level III) conversations actually trigger different neurochemicals which activate the part of our brain where trust lives (the executive brain). When that happens, it actually enables us to grow our intelligence, co-create and innovate with others, which is a key aspect of the C-IQ® facilitation approach.
