CONSCIOUS COACHING: LIVE ONLINE SESSION
ABOUT THIS EVENT
This webinar takes an in-depth look at the topic of coaching and answers your most challenging coaching questions.
Unfortunately the use of the word coaching in inappropriate circumstances combined with generally poor understanding of what ‘good coaching’ actually looks like has meant that despite coaching being very much a part of the normal business landscape we still have some distance to go in educating both leaders, and organisations, on this topic.
Coaching is potentially the most powerful tool in the HR toolkit to develop people however it can often be received wrongly (consider hearing “you need coaching”) and is often set up to fail in it’s structure. Whereas similar industries such as counselling or psychotherapy are regulated and require formal qualifications, coaching does not. The consequences of this is that there is huge variability in quality across the coaching sector and an equally huge variety of definitions, schools and approaches.
Our time will be split into two halves. The first looks at the coaching industry, what is available and what to look for. This will include discussion about the emerging areas of coaching and clarifying the truth behind certain buzzwords. In the second half we aim to bring some insights from behind the ‘closed doors’ of coaching. While some coaches have professional supervision many leaders and managers who try to coach find themselves quite isolated in their coaching practice; rarely to we get to ask a highly experienced professional coach their opinions on coaching situations and discuss different ways to handle those scenarios. Whilst maintaining confidentiality we will work our hardest to answer even the most challenging questions from the audience.
AGENDA
PART ONE:
• Describe what ‘buyers’ of coaching should look for and how to evaluate the different coaching propositions
