3.27.15 – Two Quick Announcements
Hello Columbia Coaching Learning Community!
While the calendar suggests that Spring “should be here” the weather does not suggest its arrival. A few quick announcements:
OD Network Presentation
I had the opportunity to interact with a very engaged community of over 50 individuals on the evening of March 26th – as the invited speaker for OD Network NYC Chapter. Topic: Emotional Competence (EQ): Implications for OD Practitioners. Use the link below for a full description of the session:
http://www.odnny.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=2399
I’ve also started a discussion thread in the “Member Blog” section of our community site where you can: (1) download a copy of the presentation and (2) continue the conversation by raising questions, making observations, and/or sharing resources. Use the link below to:
Pilot Project: Coaching Referral Service Update
I sent out a communication on March 8th to all Columbia Alumni who have completed the entire Coaching Certification Program inviting participation in a “proof of concept” CCCP in collaboration with the reconstituted Columbia Coaching Learning Association (CCLA). Columbia is working a custom client on a program and wanted to add a coaching component. We saw this as a great opportunity start the process of defining the requirements for, and creating a process, for providing organizational clients access to our network of credentialed coaches.
As part of this pilot we’ve:
- Developed a 1-page coach bio template with guidelines;
- Defined the requirements for this coach engagement with the organizational client;
- Communicated this opportunity and related requirements to our network of alumni in the Metro NYC areas; and
- Worked with those who sent bios to ensure compliance with the guidelines and forward those who met the requirements to our organizational contact for consideration.
The organizational client identified 6 finalist to “interview” from the pool of candidates send and is in the process selecting 4 coaches for this engagement. We are still in the process of negotiating with the organizational client to provide “laser feedback” to all who have submitted bios so that everyone can learn from the experience.
We’ve already learned a great deal about how to engage with potential organizational clients; partner with the to define requirements of the engagement and what they seek from potential coaches; and importantly, the systems and tools that will need to be in place for the Program and CCLA to implement a coach referral service.
We see our collective role as (Program and CCLA):
- Defining the Process (with the goal of it being as self-service for both clients and coaches);
- Maintaining the Work Flow (for providing access to our growing network of coaches); and
- Promoting this Service to Potential Organizational Clients (including outlining the process).
We DO NOT see our role as:
- A decision maker (client will define requirements and select coaches); or
- Employer (client will set coaching rates, contract with, and pay coaches directly).
Stay tuned!

Books by Columbia Program Alumni
One of the great joys of being an educator is to plant seeds and watch what emerges. For several years GSAEC (Graduate School Alliance for Education in Coaching) has been creating a set of academic standards for graduate level programs – Standard 15.0: Contribution to New Knowledge and to the Field of Executive and Organizational Coaching—focuses on knowledge generation and dissemination.
During on this standard, over the course of our 8 month program participants are given access to Columbia University’s Online Library for the purpose of completing a guided coach-specific research project to: (1) gain exposure to research and theoretical frameworks in peer review academic journals and (2) ground one’s professional practice is existing knowledge, while at the same time contributing the applied knowledge base in the field.

- Activate the "online submission" tool so that proposals can be posted;
- Continue to enhance the navigation between the various pages of the site for ease of use; and
- Encourage current program participants, alumni, friends of the program, and members of the boarder coaching and talent management community to "enroll" on the site and provide suggestions for ways to connect.
Once the above are in place, we'll then:
- Provide functionality to create various "groups" where more targeted connections can be realized; and
- Create a "Columbia Certified Coach" space where all those who have completed the entire program can register a profile - we'll connect this space to the "program website" as well as the "Executive Education" website of the Columbia Business School.
