Coaching Skills for Human Service Professionals Jackie Woodside, LICSW, M.S.W., CPC, EL-MP
Coaching is becoming a popular specialty
niche for many social workers and nonprofit

organizational level. While the practice of
coaching is very similar to a traditional human
service approach, it has the emphasis on setting
and attaining goals.
Join us for this interactive workshop to learn
core coaching skills to help your clients set and
reach their goals, or as a manager, use coaching
to build your organizational growth and
sustainability, increase employee engagement,
accountability and overall performance.
