Breakthrough Conversations Training for Coaches & Facilitators

You’re a successful coach and facilitator—helping clients create better teams and better results. And, like many of us, your clients get triggered—especially when it comes to communication. 
 
Despite good intentions, their conversations go sideways. They lack a shared set of skills to navigate conversations effectively, especially when emotions are high and topics are difficult. 

This is where the Breakthrough Conversations Toolkit becomes a powerful resource for you. It provides a practical set of tools you can use to coach or train clients to leverage and up-level their conversations— to create breakthroughs when they get triggered and reactive. Tools you can use to get a 10x on the planning, meetings and retreats you lead.  

Who This Is For

This program is designed for professionals who:

• Coach leaders or teams 
• Facilitate retreats or planning sessions

Participants include:

• Vistage Chairs
• Executive coaches
• EOS implementers
• Leadership development trainers

What You'll Get

Participating in the program, you’ll gain new skills and a toolkit to help clients:

1. Shift quickly from closed to open – from being “right” to being curious  
2. Engage their emotions as a superpower rather than a liability  
3. Speak honesty and vulnerably without attacking others 
4. Listen to learn and build trust – and bring out the best in others 
5. Powerfully sort themselves out before high-stakes conversations and meetings  
6. Shape the future from a possibility mindset vs. problem mindset  
7. Create full “yes” agreements for reliable follow-through and accountability  
8. Move into energized action with more alignment, joy and clarity 

How This Impacts Your Work

This program is designed to immediately elevate your impact with clients and their teams - and build longer term, sustainable skills your clients can integrate into their everyday culture. 

As a Facilitator

You'll be able to:

• Facilitate more impactful conversations that shift the inner experience your client and the outer results of their business  
• Effectively work with emotions as they arise – and leverage them to powerfully increase candor, connection and clarity  
• More quickly surface the core issues impacting trust, confidence, and productivity  
• Offer a process to increase safety and more honest, robust dialogue  
• Teach simple, practical tools clients can use in difficult or high stakes conversations  
• Create and deliver more transformational planning sessions and retreats  

As a Coach

You'll be able to:

• Coach people to deeper awareness, practical clarity, and energized action  
• More effectively navigate pushback, resistance, and emotional upsets with clients  
• Awaken your clients’ inner knowing, intelligence, and capacity for action  
• Provide practical tools clients can use in their everyday conversations to improve results and strengthen relationship

 Teach Them to Fish

One of the most powerful ways to increase the lasting impact of your work is to equip clients with tools they can use - especially when you’re not there. 

With the Breakthrough Conversations Toolkit, you can truly teach your clients to fish. 

You’ll be able to share tools they can use to navigate: 

• Difficult conversations  
• Run more effective meetings, goal-setting sessions, and performance reviews  
• Help their teams tackle real issues - directly and effectively  
• Strengthen their culture and operate true to their core values  

 What Makes This Different

This is not a theory-heavy or lecture-based program. Participants will learn by: 

• Watching videos, seeing live demonstrations, buddy exercises, and group coaching  
• Applying tools in between sessions: individual application and buddy practice  
• Learning from experienced, like-minded participants in the program  

The focus is not just on understanding the tools - but on being able to use them effectively in real conversations with clients. 

 Program Structure

• Cohorts of 10–12 participants  
• 8 live group video sessions (Zoom), 90 minutes each, every 2 weeks
• Buddy practice in between sessions, approximately 1 hour 
• Watching videos in prep for sessions, approximately 10 minutes   
• Individual application with your clients in between sessions  
• Option to share experience on community thread   

Each group session includes: 

• Coaching and demonstration  
• Practice and application  
• Group discussion and learning  

Overall Outcomes

• Understand the core tools and why they work
