Innovation Coaching Program

ImagineNation_CFI_logo_RGB

Teaching you how to apply imagination, curiosity, creativity, invention, and innovation to leadership and teams in life and work

Enhance your ability to adapt, create, innovate and grow through disruption

Coaching for innovation evokes new ways of knowing and being, and adapting collectively and consciously to grow people, remake teams, and organisations in a disruptive VUCA world by integrating both whole systems and a whole person perspective to unleash people’s collective intelligence.

Due to the constantly shifting and changing business playing field in disruptive VUCA times, organisations are seeking creative and inventive ways of improving their ability to adapt, grow and innovate, especially in the face of accelerating change, disruption, and digitisation.

Innovation coaching has emerged as a new coaching modality that helps develop client’s engagement, communication, leadership, collaboration, and planning skills to enact and embody a true innovation model that enables them to:

  • Enhance their confidence, capacity, and competence (agility) to flow with exponential change, see and solve problems, embrace and emerge possibilities, and opportunities in a disruptive VUCA world.
  • Make sense of innovation in their unique context, aligning it strategically and systemically within a human-centered and engaging “pull” approach.
  • Define why (passionate purpose) they need to innovate as part and drive of an organisational or digital transformation initiative.
  • Build individual, team, and organisational change readiness and receptivity.
  • Cultivate a paradox lens, discomfort resilience, imagination, breakthrough mindsets, elastic thinking strategies, mental toughness, and emotional agility, behaviours, and skills to be, think and do things differently; including safely challenging the status quo and convention, allowing people to experiment and take smart risks, maximising inclusion, diversity, and achievement in ways that improve performance and generate growth.
  • Integrating an innovation learning curriculum for individuals and teams through applying emergence principles, design thinking, and start-up methodologies.

By developing the confidence, courage, and compassion to experiment with, (and fail) artfully mastering and safely using people’s cognitive dissonance as a creative catalyst for transformational change.

The Coach for Innovators Program aims to:

  • Inspire and mobilise participants’ potential to learn, adapt and grow through disruption by building their confidence, capacity, and capability to create, invent and innovate and enable them to cultivate these qualities in the people, teams, and organisations they coach, manage, or lead.
  • Resource and empower participants to safely shake up and challenge the status quo and become boundary-pushers by embracing a strategic, systemic and human-centered approach to innovation through teaching and coaching speedy, agile, provocative, and blended methods (emergence, design thinking and start-up methodologies) that help people and teams adapt, grow, and flourish through disruption by applying the transformational powers of innovation.
  • Create a collective holding space and container which creates the conditions for individuals and groups to safely play, imagine, improvise, create and experiment, by having permission to make mistakes, and learn by doing, (failing fast) through inclusion, deep learning, contribution and challenger safety, as well as through cultivating people’s courage, compassion, creativity, and trust.
  • Resource and empower participants to know how to be, think, and act differently in ways that unlock people’s collective genius to generate creative ideas and innovative solutions that solve real problems and maximise opportunities in the 21st century.
