Join us for March's ICF Virginia Chapter’s Professional Development experience with Fred Mandell! March is Arts Education month, a perfect time to learn how to combine coaching with art-based experiential learning.
BE PREPARED TO GET ARTSY! To fully participate, participants will need the following art supplies:
● Scissors
● Pencil
● 5 sheets blank white paper
● 3 sheets black paper
● Glue stick
Learning begins with experience.
So get ready for a different kind of experience that will open a new path for expanding your coaching impact.
This program will immerse you in an arts-based experiential learning activity AND introduce you to the concepts, research and impact of arts-based experiential learning as a coaching methodology.
This virtual program will introduce participants to the theory and science behind Arts-Based Experiential Learning (ABEL.) We will examine an actual use case as a way to demonstrate the what, how and outcomes of selective coaching relationships.
Participants will also learn about an innovative assessment instrument that directly and objectively measures the impact of Arts-Based Experiential Learning on individuals and teams.
Objectives:
- Understanding of the theory and science behind ABEL
- Practical examples of arts-based experiential exercises immediately implementable by participants
- Research based data which demonstrates the impact of ABEL on individuals and teams
- Introduction to a breakthrough method for measuring impact of training on learners.
