  • Episode 11 - Contracting in Coaching

    Kylie Roberts and Mel Wombwell, of Shift Unlimited, dive deep into the significance of 'contracting' in establishing effective coaching relationships. Contracting is a verbal agreement between the coach and the client outlining the nature, terms and conditions of the coaching process.

    They explore areas included in a contract, such as confidentiality, ethical guidelines, client and coach roles, financial and logistical arrangements and, where applicable, the involvement of a sponsor.

    They emphasise the importance of being explicit about expectations from the start, which greatly contributes to the success of a coaching relationship.

    They also discuss two models - 'Support vs Challenge Model' and 'RIDE (Reflection, Inquiry, Disruption, Experimentation)' model which they use to highlight their coaching expectations. Contracting, although done primarily at the onset of the coaching process, is something the coach and client can revisit and modify according to the evolving needs of the coaching relationship.

  • Episode 8 - Rapport Building & Why it is so Critical

    The podcast delves into the nuances of rapport building beyond the surface level and uncovers its significance in the business world. 


    The hosts, Kylie and Mel, discuss how rapport is more profound than the shared interests between parties, providing definitions that align with feelings of trust, openness, safety, perception of likeness, and friendly feedback. Apart from one-on-one connections, rapport also extends to a collective audience or multiple groups of individuals. 


    They highlight how rapport influences leadership, making it easier for leaders to connect, influence, and inspire their teams. 


    The discussion also entails the powerful role of body language and voice tonality in rapport-building, citing research evidence that interrelates communication and rapport to body language and tone rather than just words.


    Listen to today’s episode to understand how to implement these concepts to help you form more diverse connections and stronger relationships.
