SeattleCoach! "Connection. Curiosity. Challenge."

CFL3 Communications
Monthly video notes to the members of
Microsoft's third "Coaching for Leaders" Cohort
​


Patty, to participants in the Pilot Microsoft-SeattleCoach Cohort:
"Do you think Microsoft will make more money, have more fun and do more good because you all have invested this time in becoming coaching leaders?"

Their (vigorous) responses: "We'll listen better and take better risks. We'll ask better questions and be more innovative. We'll course-correct faster. We'll argue about the right things, but more kindly. We'll probably stay around longer."

Between each of our CFL3 Off-sites at the College Club:

  1. You meet with your Triad for two hours monthly (we'll switch it up each quarter),
  2. Patty meets with the Triad Coaches each month for mentor coaching, supervision and collaboration,
  3. And you'll hear from Patty once each month via a 4-minute video comm re: your focus for the month.
