Organizations rarely struggle because people lack information. More often, the challenge is applying what they know when priorities compete, conversations get complicated, assumptions go unexamined, or the person in front of them needs something different than the process anticipated.
Learning Journeys partners with organizations to build coaching capability that can be used inside the work—with leaders, HR professionals, talent and development teams, internal coaches, and others whose roles depend on helping people think, choose, adapt, and move forward.
We don’t begin by asking which course you want.
We begin with what you need people to be better able to navigate.
​​
BUILT AROUND THE CAPABILITY YOU NEED
Your organization may be looking to:
-
Build foundational coaching skills across a team or organization
-
Strengthen the coaching capability of HR, L&D, Talent, or People leaders
-
Develop or deepen an internal coaching bench
-
Help leaders have conversations that create ownership rather than dependence
-
Strengthen listening, questioning, discernment, and the ability to challenge effectively
-
Create a shared coaching language and approach across roles or teams
-
Develop experienced coaches beyond foundational skills
-
Support ICF credentialing, mentor coaching, or continuing education
-
Address a specific organizational challenge where coaching capability is part of the solution
Some organizations need a single learning experience. Others need a developmental pathway.
We build accordingly.
MORE THAN TEACHING COACHING SKILLS
Skills matter. So does what determines whether someone can use them when they’re needed.
A leader can know how to ask an open-ended question and still jump in with the answer. An HR professional can understand the importance of listening and still begin solving the problem before discovering what problem actually needs to be solved. A coach can know the competencies and still miss the story shaping what the client believes is possible.
That’s where Narrative Coaching adds another layer.
We help participants develop coaching skills and become more aware of the assumptions, beliefs, stories, identity, and meaning-making influencing what they—and the people they work with—can see and choose.
-
That means development doesn't stop at:
What should I do differently?
-
It also creates the capacity to notice:
What is shaping what I believe needs to happen here?
WHAT CUSTOMIZED CAN LOOK LIKE
Shared Foundation
Create a common coaching language and experience across a team.
Programs such as Power of Possibility can provide a shared foundation while developing immediately usable coaching skills.
Good fit for: leadership teams, HRBP groups, Talent/L&D teams, cohorts, and organizations beginning to build a coaching culture.
Targeted Capability Development
Develop a particular aspect of coaching capability through focused learning and practice.
Possible areas include Powerful Questions, coaching competencies, listening, discovery, Narrative Coaching, and other targeted labs or learning experiences.
Good fit for: teams that already have some coaching exposure and want to strengthen or refine specific capabilities.
Professional Coach Development
Build deeper capability for people coaching formally within the organization.
This may include Narrative Coach Practitioner education, advanced Narrative Coaching, ICF-aligned development, mentor coaching, and continuing coach education.
Good fit for: internal coaches, HR or Talent professionals with formal coaching responsibilities, and organizations building an internal coaching bench.
Custom Learning Pathways
Combine experiences into a learning pathway designed around the organization's people, objectives, existing capability, and context.
We can draw from established Learning Journeys programs and experiences while determining the sequence, emphasis, practice, and support that best serve the work participants actually need to do.
Good fit for: organizations seeking development over time rather than a one-time learning event.
HOW WE BUILD IT
Start with the work. Then determine the learning.
1. Understand the context
What are people being asked to navigate?
Where are conversations getting stuck?
What capability already exists?
2. Identify the capability
What do people need to become better able to notice, discern, and do?
3. Design the experience
We determine the right combination of learning, practice, application, feedback, and support.
4. Connect learning to the work
Participants practice with situations and conversations relevant to the environments in which they'll actually use the capability.
5. Build for transfer
Where appropriate, learning can extend beyond the classroom through continued practice, coaching, mentor support, labs, or additional development.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Learning experiences can be designed for:
HR & HR Business Partners • Learning & Development • Talent & Organizational Development • Leaders & People Managers • Internal Coaches • Healthcare & Education Professionals • Consultants • Cross-Functional Teams
Programs may be delivered to intact teams, selected cohorts, or individuals following different developmental paths within the same organization.
THE LEARNING JOURNEYS DIFFERENCE
We develop more than what people know to do.
We develop their capacity to notice what is shaping what they do.
Organizations invest heavily in tools, models, processes, and skills. Those matter. And people bring those tools into moments already shaped by experience, assumptions, expectations, identity, relationships, pressure, and competing interpretations of what is happening.
Learning Journeys develops the coaching capability to work with both. Because sometimes a new skill is exactly what is needed. And sometimes people already know what to do. Something else is determining what they actually do.
LET'S START WITH WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BUILD
You don't need to know which Learning Journeys course, lab, or program fits before contacting us.
Tell us what you're seeing, who you're developing, and what you want people to become better able to navigate.
We'll help you determine what kind of learning might serve it.
