LifeTree Coaching 'Taster'
We have noticed in our consultancy work over the past few years, how
central the process of coaching has been to sustainable performance
improvement. As well as carrying out specific assignments as an
'executive coach' to leaders, our consultancy work with individuals and
teams has utilised a number of the core skills that master coaches
develop. We are keen to share this learning, and find a way to
develop quality coaches throughout Scotland.
We have a number of ideas to develop excellence in coaching, and the
first one is our 'coaching taster' workshop on October 20th, where we
are inviting selected clients and friends.
The day is aimed at people who have an interest in the coaching
approach, and would like to understand and experience a bit more about
the subject. Coaching has real power to leverage performance in
the management-‘subordinate’ relationship, but also coaching techniques
can be very helpful when functioning without formal ‘authority’ in an
advisory or consultative role. This taster is being developed
with a friend of ours, John Bathgate (www.sparra.co.uk), who is an experienced coach and trainer of coaches, and has over 30 years
experience in international HR and OD.
The key questions that will be explored during the day will be
- Why Coaching?
- What is the unique power of this approach versus others?
- How can coaching help me?
- Types of coaching
What is Coaching?
- What prevents or gets in the way of coaching?
- What happens when it is working well?
- How can I coach without knowledge in the coachees area of expertise?
- What coaching is not!
Where can I go from here?
- How can I develop my coaching?
- What is the best use of coaching in my working environment?
- Characteristics of a successful coach
The day will be participative with exercises and demonstrations illustrating
the power and benefits of coaching, and the opportunity to question and explore
both theory and practice.
