About This Event

If you are someone who values deep learning, the acquisition and evaluation of new skills you will actually use, as well as finding out what makes those around you tick, then we invite you to join us for our highly interactive Apprenticeship™ 2-day live event!

The Art of Coaching Apprenticeship™ is research backed, and is the first event of its kind to truly bridge the gap between skilled interpersonal communication and leadership development across domains.

Collectively, our programs have welcomed leaders of all ages from over 30 professions and 22 countries including Australia, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Brazil, Africa, China, India, Norway and Poland.

Simply put, if you work with people in any capacity, The Apprenticeship™ is for you!

Whether your goal is to become more effective at building buy-in with those you lead, improving your ability to adapt on the fly, making critical decisions under uncertainty, or simply improving your own self-awareness as a leader, these two days will help you extract strategies that you can actually put to use.

The vast majority of our attendees seek us out specifically because they have had enough of the traditional “death-by-PowerPoint” seminars that are rife with vague self-help sound bites, trust falls, overcrowded conference rooms, shouting gurus, and topics that ignore the chaotic realities of true leadership.

Topics Include:

  • Navigating Power Dynamics & Politics
  • Building Buy-In Across Varying Generations
  • The Role of Perception in Leadership
  • The Skilled and Ethical Use of Influence in Leadership
  • 7 Critical Elements of Interpersonal Communication
  • Strategies for Making Better Decisions While Under Duress
  • The Truth Regarding Self-Awareness and Reflection
  • Conflict Resolution in the New Age
  • Creating Assessments and Evaluations For Yourself and Your Team

This is done through a strategic mixture of case study reviews, role playing break-outs, self and peer evaluations, film break-downs, group discussions and more.

The truth is that every leader needs a safe place to rehearse and refine their strategies for some of life’s biggest moments-The Apprenticeship™ is that place.

We look forward to seeing you!

Apprenticeship™ FAQs

WHO CAN I CONTACT FOR MORE INFORMATION OR ANY QUESTIONS I STILL HAVE?

You can reach our support team at info@artofcoaching.com

IS THE APPRENTICESHIP™ OFFERED ONLINE?

We do offer a variety of online courses that include video, printouts, downloadable notes and even workbooks, but The Apprenticeships™ themselves are only available in person due to the high socially interactive nature of the material and experience. Please visit the “COURSES” section of https://artofcoaching.com/ to view our online offerings.

WILL CEU'S BE AVAILABLE?

We are pleased to announce that attendance to an Apprenticeship™ will earn 1.8 NSCA Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s) in Category A for 18 hours of education! Your certificate will be emailed to you after successful completion of the event.

Regardless of CEU allocation, we strongly recommend you do NOT sign-up if that is your primary purpose of doing so. Coaches and leaders from all over the world who are dedicated to their craft and have signed up to continue to push themselves for the sake of those they serve. Any CEU’s should just be considered a bonus.

ARE THERE ANY DISCOUNTS?

Absolutely! We offer both “Super Early Bird” and “Early Bird” discounts if you book in advance. We also offer a discount if you have passed the exam for either of Brett’s online courses (Bought In or Valued). All of these options can save you hundreds of dollars.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER PRE-REQUISITES FOR ATTENDING THE APPRENTICESHIP™?

Yes. Attendees will be required to sign a waiver for participation, and will also be required to answer a few quick questions so that the material can be better customized to enhance your experience at the event. We also require those attending to keep an open mind and to ensure that you enter the two days ready to engage, laugh, learn and be receptive to any and all feedback. Titles, awards or years of experience do not exempt any of us from being open to improvement, especially in the area of communication.

DO I NEED TO HAVE READ BRETT'S BOOK OR HAVE TAKEN HIS ONLINE COURSES TO UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL?

While prior familiarity with Brett’s numerous resources certainly does help, we do not mandate that each participant has read the book or taken the courses. Please note, however, that previous material will not be covered in these two days as The Apprenticeship™ is a continuation of topics covered within Brett’s foundational resources.

HOW MANY DAYS IS THE APPRENTICESHIP™?

The Apprenticeship™ is a two-day experience. 

*Exact timeframe is subject to change and may vary depending on audience participation, questions, logistics as well as potential circumstances that may occur outside of our control. Please plan on blocking off around 8 hours for each day.

WHAT LANGUAGE IS THIS TAUGHT IN?

For now, this workshop is only offered in English. We will be working to offer it in other languages and countries.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?

We don’t want to spoil all of the surprises, so some bonuses/gifts will remain specific to each event, but in general, each attendee will receive the following:

  • Art of Coaching™ Apparel
  • Exclusive discounts from our partners
  • Preferred access to our Art of Coaching™ Alumni online community

WHAT TOPICS ARE INCLUDED?

One of the best things about The Apprenticeship™ is that the experience evolves and is never static! Some examples of topics covered are listed below, but we cannot emphasize enough that each workshop features a unique distribution of topics as we do our best to adapt to each population and the relevant context as well as how they interact with one another and the material.

Sample topics include:

  • Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication Strategies: What Does the Science Say?
  • The Role of Influence and Persuasion in Leadership

  • Building Trust and Commitment: Application and Obstacles

WHO IS IT FOR? DO I HAVE TO BE A COACH?

These events are for everyone, regardless of vocation! If you work or interact with people in any fashion the content will be relevant to you! At Art of Coaching™, we define a “coach” as anyone who leads, guides, teaches or interacts with others. We have served teachers, business owners, members of the tactical community, first responders, sport coaches, and even therapists. If you want to enhance your ability to lead or communicate in any fashion- The Apprenticeship™ is for you.

WHAT IS THE APPRENTICESHIP™

Put simply, the Art of Coaching Apprenticeship™ is a highly interactive 2-day live event that is focused on social skill development in today’s coaches and leaders, as well as the science behind what constitutes more effective leadership in chaotic environments. It is the first true resource of its kind and blends research-backed presentations, small group discussion, case studies, live evaluations, breakout sessions, and personalized video breakdowns. Oh, and a bit of laughter as well given that we do try and have a bit of fun amongst the two days.
