How Wolves Change Rivers

Most of us have heard Bob and Bruce share this story or a very similar one. This showed up in one of my news feeds today. Quick video modeling the principles of complex systems. https://veer.li/10035#google_vignette

I remember the story from Bob - I have never seen this video! Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Toni!

ICF Certification

I have a past partcipant who completed the Cognitive Coaching Seminar last year in Taiwan and who is interested in exploring an ICF certification through a portfolio pathway. Does anyone know someone who has applied for a non ICF certified progam using Cognitive Coaching as a base and been successful in getting ICF certified? If so, please let me know and I will pass that info onto this past participant. A contact would also be appreciated I am sure. Thank you!

Seth Brown and I recently earned our ICF certifications, we did a version of the portfolio path. We has some ICF-approved trainings we could include, which made it easier, but I'm happy to talk through the process with you if you want more information (and I'm sure Seth would be, too, but I don't want to speak for him!) I will say that we both elected to NOT include the CC hours into our portfolio (for several reasons) and so used other trainings to reach the minimum number of hours. I'm not saying CC wouldn't be approved, but for us it was easier to not use it than use it.

Cognitive Coaching Deaf Participant

I recently completed days 1–4 of Cognitive Coaching, which included a deaf participant, and I wanted to share my experience for anyone wondering how to best support someone in a seminar. Going in, I was nervous and uncertain about how he would be able to fully engage in the experiential learning. By the end of day one, I realized my assumptions were wrong.


The district provided two excellent interpreters, and I also used PowerPoint’s closed caption feature. The participant not only engaged fully but was one of the most outstanding participants I’ve ever worked with. The interpreters were incredible, and the other participants went out of their way to partner with him and provide support. The experience also pushed me to communicate more clearly for the interpreters, which strengthened my own presenting.


If you have a similar experience ahead, I’d be happy to chat and answer any questions.

Hi John. Years ago Bob and I co-facilitated a large group where one participant, a superintendent who was deaf and mute was present. He too had two interpreters. Over the four days we had delightful conversations with him and some wonderful conversations with the interpreters. In remember we asked the interpreters two questions.


First, why do you continue to sign when he is not looking at you? Ha! They said, 'Sometimes you take a break, heck, do you always listen to people!"


Second, why are there two of you? One responded, 'would you want to listen to one person for 4 days!'


We loved it and had a wonderful time.
