Contextual Intelligence: Thinking in 3D
Matt Kutz, Ph.D.

Contextual intelligence is the ability to recognize and diagnose a variety of environmental and interpersonal factors that affect decision making and performance. You will learn how to assess the three dimensions (3D) of your environment and implement the 12 behaviors of contextually intelligent people. Whether you are a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, manager, administrative assistant or an aspiring leader, contextual intelligence is a skill set that will improve and facilitate your performance and extend your influence and the influence of your organization. Most importantly, it fosters strategic thinking. Contextual intelligence is a competency-based leadership framework based on solid research and management theory.

Do you know someone who would benefit from coaching but isn't sure how and if it would "work" for them? Are you considering a career path that includes coaching and want to learn more about it?

On Wednesday, November 9 from 1 - 5 p.m., residents from around the Pittsburgh Region are invited to see how "Coaching Works" at a PCA special event which will be held at Highland Country Club. During the event, attendees will learn more about coaching as a profession, the many ways that coaches assist their clients, and how to select the right coach.

Everyone will also have several opportunities to experience coaching first hand by receiving free coaching on an issue they need help with and through observing professional coaches in action as they coach others.

Coaching Works will include a panel discussion with and coaching demonstrations by some of Pittsburgh's most experienced coaches, small group speed coaching, which will provide all attendees with an opportunity to observe and be coached by Professional Coach members of the Pittsburgh Coaches Association, and a networking event with hors d'oeuvres.
