The key outcome is to ensure a common understanding of what is meant by coaching, and how it differs from mentoring or other kinds of intervention.
We look at the skills associated with asking the best questions. This also involves gaining a deeper understanding of the principles of coaching.
Every good coach develops a unique style. We start by introducing some of the most effective coaching models and support you to develop your own.
Listening skills lie at the very heart of high-quality coaching. We introduce you to techniques for listening at a deep level.
Coaching can be situational. Session Five helps you coach in the moment, when your coachee may benefit from this approach in everyday situations.
Focusing on strengths, accessing intrinsic motivation, building strategies of hope, cultivating positive emotions and other important coaching principles.
The coaching relationship involves both support and challenge. We introduce a relational approach to using confrontative interventions.
We introduce a range of goal-setting models and explore the value of contracting at the start of the relationship, as well as managing endings.
We introduce the principles of Transactional Analysis for coaches, sharing a ‘theory of relating’ that will empower your practice.
Finally, we consider how best to maintain a professional practice. We cover CPD, supervision, reflective practice, ethics, record keeping and more.
Between November and December, learners will record one of their supervision sessions.
Learners will provide feedback to each other on their recorded sessions.
Written feedback will be provided by a member of faculty.
