November 12 Southeast Region Webinar
How to Help Your Clients Find Inner Strength with the "How Am I" Story
Annette Simmons, M.Ed.

The November 12 Southeast Region Webinar features Annette Simmons, M.Ed. Annette is a writer, trainer and consultant and the author. In 1998, an original course on storytelling for leadership proved so successful it led to two new books about storytelling as a communication tool. Annette continues to provide leadership training, keynote speeches, and onsite training on all the subjects covered in her books.

Some of the current approaches to storytelling suggest templates, arcs, and other frameworks that may be technically accurate but only distract clients from diving deep. How can you support your clients through the emotional process of discovering meaningful stories that remind them of their integrity, ground them in their best self, and help them find a stable “center” to weather these unprecedented levels of uncertainty? Learn a simple process for finding “who I am” stories with clients. The session will include a live demonstration so you can witness the process as Annette Simmons coaches a volunteer to find his or her own new story.

When it comes to Gremlin-Taming®, Rick Carson wrote the book—literally. Rick is the author of four HarperCollins books. His seminal work, Taming Your Gremlin® has had a remarkable track record. A best seller since its publication in 1984, few books have had as great an impact on the coaching world as Taming Your Gremlin. Taming Your Gremlin has been translated into numerous languages, leading to a Revised Edition in 2003 and its sequel, A Master Class in Gremlin-Taming in 2008.

Here’s an opportunity to learn Gremlin-Taming® from the man who developed the method over 40 years ago. We’ll begin with an interview with Rick Carson. Drawing on questions submitted by attendees, we will explore the current status of Gremlin-Taming in the coaching world and delve into some of the key underpinnings of the Gremlin-Taming Method. We will then open up the floor for questions and comments from attendees.
