Coaching

Coaching is about bringing out the best of a person or group – personally and professionally – from the inside out. 

A VCI coach doesn’t “pour in” advice; he or she “draws out” the wisdom of those being coached and focuses it in a positive, beneficial direction.

In the context of innovation, coaching can help individuals and teams to optimize how they put into practice their knowledge and skills for being innovative in their everyday work. For executives and other leaders, coaching can sharpen their self-awareness in being a role model and sponsor for being innovative – bringing out the best in their colleagues.

VCI focuses its coaching services to support people, groups and organizations who need to:

• Empower trainers to teach and coach others to innovate
• Enable teams to be collaborative innovators
• Develop leaders as role-models and coaches of innovation
• Sponsor and sustain a culture for innovation
• Inspire and motivate everyone to be innovative
• Work with clients to co-innovate their solutions

Our capacity for coaching is guided by the experience of Debra R. Miller, co-founder of Values Centered Innovation. Ms. Miller was a pioneer in the field of business coaching in the early 1990s, teaching hundreds how to shift their thinking from "telling" and "advising" to bringing out the best of others. She has worked with executives, professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide. Learn more about Debra
