ICF Arizona: Book Study 2023 Q2 – Fearless Feedback: A Guide for Coaching Leaders to See Themselves More Clearly
May 24 @ 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Hosted by ICF Arizona

Fearless Feedback:
A Guide for Coaching Leaders to See Themselves More Clearly and Galvanize Growth

The Book Study meets on Wednesday evenings at 6:00pm via Zoom for 1 hour. The meetings will be facilitated by our host, and participants are invited to select a chapter(s) to present each week.

Join us to increase your knowledge and enjoy lively discussions with a small group of fellow coaches.

Do you seek a feedback process that can be tailored to equip leaders to accomplish their professional goals? Do you need a practical guide for mining stakeholder feedback and framing it in ways that make leaders hungry for the insights? Are you tired of being constrained by cookie-cutter 360-degree feedback tools used in organizations, tools that can be tone deaf to the underlying emotions? Do you wish you could uncover the fears which inhibit the change a leader needs, so they can design actions for future growth? Then Fearless Feedback is your answer! Among many things, this book provides: A practical seven-step framework on how to structure stakeholder feedback for leaders; An actionable guide with specific dos and don’ts; Intriguing dialogue between coach, leader, and stakeholder (articulating the unspoken thoughts and underlying emotions); and tested techniques, tips, tools, and templates!

This workshop includes two brief presentations on working coaching models for: 1. supporting clients to identify risk factors for burnout and 2. evoking clients’ awareness of underlying habits, behaviors, structures, and beliefs that contribute to burnout. 3. using client insights as a roadmap for designing actions to support their resilience, effectiveness, and overall wellbeing. After these short presentations, we will engage in open discussion and sharing of best practices for coaching clients experiencing burnout including
common pitfalls, scenarios, and opportunities.

Participants will walk away with practical models to implement regarding coaching through burnout, increased awareness of one’s wisdom already in use with clients experiencing burnout, improved mindset around the opportunity burnout can present to go deeper with clients.

Co-Facilitated by Elle Cronin & Lori Raggio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD;
One of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color.

WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ms. magazine, BookRiot, Library Journal

This is the book I’ve been waiting for.”
Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist 

Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policy making. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out?

McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare.

But in unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a black woman to a multiracial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.
