Tuesday, May 22, 2012 Meeting
We're delighted to have Tom Krapu, a member of St. Louis Coaches, presenting on "360 Surveys and Assessments in Coaching." The use of 360 surveys is common in business and with career development professionals such as career coaches. Competencies in the area of 360 development, administration, and use can distinguish you as a provider of professional services. Areas of discussion will include:
- What are 360 surveys and how are they used?
- What different types of 360 surveys are there?
- Are 360 surveys "coach friendly"? What about other assessments?
- How to maintain coaching core competencies when debriefing an individual's assessment results
- How to develop a background in assessments to leverage into a coaching business model
Tom is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and has served on ICF's Research
Committee, including as committee chair and recently co-chaired ICF's Education Committee research track. He is an experienced speaker, having
presented at numerous national and international conferences and corporate events, including ICF's Research Symposium and Annual International
Conferences. Trained as a counseling psychologist, Tom has worked in both academic and private sectors, drawing from his extensive practical
and real world experience in his work with clients and as a consultant. His professional coaching experience includes delivering international
individual and group coaching initiatives in organizations from Fortune 50 companies and higher education settings to smaller for profit and
nonprofit organizations and government, financial and healthcare sectors. He has also provided individual coaching services to clergy from the
congregational to the bishop level as well as to people in transition and entrepreneurs. He has trained "managers as coaches", has presented
nationally to professionals transitioning to the coaching profession and teaches advanced curriculum on the coaching paradigm and development
and use of 360 survey instruments.
