The ORSC Fundamentals course is indeed the starting place for building an understanding of the basic theory and skills for coaching relationship systems. In this 2-day program, you will be equipped with new concepts and new tools that you can apply immediately.

In addition to reviewing the model for Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching, we'll also explore the differences between coaching individuals and coaching relationships. And most importantly you will learn how to coach The Third Entity™ (the relationship itself).
