Module 1, Introduction: Systems of Thinking

• Description:
  
  • This module introduces evidence-based findings on how analytically-minded people feel and think and how to coach them most effectively. The readings for this module address recent behavioral science research on emotional drivers for our behaviors, as well as the typical kind of judgment errors - cognitive biases - we all make. They also get at how these drivers and judgment errors can be effectively managed to help us reach our goals in our workplace and in daily life. The video for this course translates these research findings into the context of coaching analytically-minded people. It describes the broad framework of such coaching, including the skills and knowledge you as a coach need to engage effectively with these clients, as well as how to establish the optimal kind of coaching relationship in the beginning of your coaching engagement.

Module 2, False Beliefs About Oneself

• Description:
  
  • This module will explain how analytically-minded people - as do clients in general - hold a number of false beliefs about themselves. However, coaches typically struggle to reach analytically-minded people who hold such false beliefs, because these types of clients are quite skilled at rationalizing away such beliefs and arguing with coaches. These false beliefs are especially strong around emotions, since analytically-minded people tend to have a particularly low level of awareness about the emotional drivers that inform their behaviors, words, and thoughts. This module empowers you to communicate effectively to analytically-minded people who hold false beliefs, providing the pragmatic coaching tools you need to help them adjust these beliefs to align with reality as well as a road map to help such clients become more emotionally aware.

Module 3, False Beliefs About Others

• Description:
  
  • This module explains that another area of false beliefs that coaches need to address is analytically-minded people holding false beliefs about others. It’s a cliche, but it’s also true: analytically-minded people on average have a lower social intelligence, meaning the ability to understand and influence other people around them. As a result, such clients frequently develop inaccurate beliefs about others, resulting in damaging behaviors for themselves and those around them. This module enables you to help them realize when such false beliefs might have developed, including overcoming emotional resistance on the part of your clients about making such realizations and methods to empower analytically-minded people to adjust their beliefs and behaviors for more healthy relationships.

Module 4, Communicating Ethically

• Description:
  
  • This module helps you teach analytically-minded people to communicate ethically and effectively. One major consequence of a lower-than-average social intelligence for analytically-minded people is a substantial challenge in communication. It tends to be harder for such clients to have an effective intuitive understanding of how other people feel and think.

  • This module helps you guide analytically-minded clients into avoiding disasters when implementing decisions and managing projects. Analytically-minded people, as do all of us, run into major problems when implementing decisions.
