Coaching has received a great deal of attention over the last several years. As today’s fastest growing human resource development process, coaching has become an essential competency for leaders at ever organizational level. Why? Quite simply, because coaching produces such impressive results. So it’s not surprising that one of Bluepoint’s most popular programs is the Leader As Coach – a practical, highly experiential workshop designed to help managers and leaders excel at coaching others for high performance.
For several years now, our clients have asked us to design a follow-up program to the Leader As Coach that would provide participants with the opportunity to advance their coaching skills to an even higher level. So we are excited to announce the launch of Bluepoint’s Advanced Coaching Skills Workshop – an intense, one-day development experience that has been designed to help experienced coaches and leaders who have a solid foundation in coaching to significantly enhance their coaching impact. Advanced Coaching Skills features the unique Holding on, Letting go and Moving on methodology, which is a potent, highly-personalized approach to performance enhancement and career acceleration.

We are excited to announce the launch of Bluepoint’s new program – The Leadership Express Series. Comprised of six brief, yet highly impactful workshops, The Leadership Express Series is designed to provide participants with leadership practices, tools and methodologies that they can immediately use back on the job. Even though they are only 90 minutes in length, these workshops are not simply cursory overviews. Participants are quickly immersed in key leadership concepts such as execution, emotional intelligence, and communication and then guided through challenging experiential exercises that provide them with the opportunity to rapidly learn advanced leadership principles and acquire new, practical skills.
The workshops are designed to be delivered by internal trainers or facilitators using the accompanying detailed facilitator’s guide. Materials can be purchased as a complete series of six workshops or as stand-alone sessions. The six workshops are:
- Creating a Distinctive Leadership Brand
- The Leader Within
- A Leadership Legacy
