The Laura Whitworth Prison Project is about Self-Leadership and Coaching. The project provides a personal development program, with a focus on self-leadership beliefs, tools, and skills. Our purpose is to offer an alternative way to spend time in prison…a way that develops the emotional intelligences of the participants and offers them an opportunity to re-create the way they lead their lives.
Self-Leadership Pilot Program at the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility began with two courses based on the Co-Active Coaching Fundamentals Course by The Coaches Training Institute. These courses took place in March and August of 2008 along with another course, launching our brand new curriculum in mid December.
Self-Leadership Curriculum was created by an amazing group of coaches and leaders who held the prison population in mind when developing the concepts and content of four courses. Each course will have a Core Component that will be the same in all four courses.
This Core Component will include coaching tools and building group trust. Each Course has its own manual which provides supplemental material related to the content of each course. It also includes journaling prompts, space for collage, and other tools that are used in the course and can be referred to and revisited by participants. Each course can be taken as a stand alone course or in any order with the other courses.
In order to both honor our roots as Co-Active Coaches AND to meet the communication needs and interests of some of our participants, we will also continue offering a Basics of Life Coaching course.
