What to Expect

Coach Your Self Up is a development program that provides participants with the approach, techniques, and skills to coach themselves to heightened levels of success at work, and in all aspects of their lives.

Unlocking Potential Through the Self-Coaching Path

Coach Your Self Up is a 7-week, instructor-led, online course and peer support experience. With between 60-90 minutes of instruction and practice per week, each module allows for personal reflection, interaction and discussion. There will be two additional 1-hour live online interactive events during the course.

Participants complete hands-on learning practices to begin shifting one of their personally selected self-limiting behaviors that is blocking some aspect of their success.

You’ll engage in on-demand lecture content and exercises on your own time. Plus, the learning experience will be enhanced by online Q&A and interaction with a live instructor and your fellow participants.

Exercises provide cohort participants opportunities to practice new principles together before taking them back to the workplace. Study partners also hold each other accountable for integrating new practices into their lives.

“The CYSU course was terrific and extremely transformational for me. I highly encourage this course to anyone who is looking to become more self-aware and learn how to overcome any self-limiting behaviors.” ~ Ben E, Sales Team Lead

Target Outcomes

➤ Shifts in one of your own Self-Limiting Behaviors (SLBs):
You will begin to apply self-coaching techniques to one of your own selected self-limiting behaviors. This brings the concepts and techniques to life via practical hands-on application.

➤ Improved Attention Management:
Utilizing increased control over your attention, you will cultivate the ability to focus it when needed and, maybe more importantly, to notice when it has “wandered off” and needs to be “brought back.”

➤ Increased Emotional Intelligence (Self-Awareness and Empathy): By paying more focused attention to yourself, your self-awareness will expand. As you become more self-aware of your behaviors, stories, and feelings, your empathy for the perspectives and feelings of others is also likely to increase. As you practice self-compassion, it is probable that you will become more compassionate with others as well.

➤ Enhanced Interpersonal Relationships:
Seeing how your stories can negatively impact relationships, you will be able to develop and manage relationships more objectively.

➤ Better Decisions:
Learning to make conscious/aware decisions in the moment and not succumb to habitual/reflexive responses. Note the old adage that, “You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond.”

➤ Improved ability to coach others:
Applying some of the self-coaching skills and techniques to coaching others around you.

➤ Improved ability to be coached:
When others are coaching you in the future, you are likely to be more open and receptive to the process, enabling you to make progress more quickly.

“We are positioning CYSU as an innovative foundational component of our approach to Career Development. What could be more helpful to any employee than learning to see where their behaviors are getting in their way and giving them tools to address that?” ~ Rich Jacquet, CHRO, Gigamon

Self-Awareness is Key

The focus is on three areas: our attention (or lack thereof), our self-limiting behaviors, and the stories we tell ourselves that shape our experiences.

Psychology & Science

The methods are built upon strong foundations of psychology, neuroscience (most notably our brain’s malleability), and behavioral science.

Powerful in its Simplicity

A simple three-step framework called ‘The Self-Coaching Path’ can be utilized by participants for the rest of their lives.
