What is coaching and why do people 'need' coaching. 

Helen Isacke from the Trusted Coach Directory talks with Phil Rose about the world of coaching. Coaching is about asking questions and being curious for the answers. It's about creating a dialogue to help people increase their self-awareness. People choose to work with a coach typically because they are aware of what coaching is and are ready to do the 'inner' work to progress in their life.

In this episode with Helen we start with the question “What is coaching?” and “Why do people choose to work with a coach.”

Helen gives her views on the key things people need to look for when selecting a coach to work with including qualifications, supervision and testimonials.

1-2       What is / isn't coaching?

            Coaching is NOT training, consulting, mentoring, solution giving, therapy, counselling

            Coaching IS Talking to someone who truly listens,   being curious

03:30   Why do people choose to work with a coach.  

Inner work

            Time management training programmes

            Understanding how we operate as people

            Drive to find out what's driving their behaviour

05:45   An issue of people getting promoted to management

07:50   Get to the root cause of the issue

            Identifying Values and Beliefs

11        In the past can you fix someone

            Coach 1st to prepare people 1st for promotion

11:30   Companies develop their leaders with more of a coaching style now

13        How to get the most value from coaching:

            Set the outcomes

            Makes sure it’s not (just) monetary

14        Start with end in Mind

            What does success look like

Asking the question “What would it take to make this a 10/10”

16:30   Positioning of coaching

17:30   What to look for when selecting a coach

            Experience of working with similar coachees

            i.e. / service leadership

            The coach needs to understand the role and stress the person is under

19        CPD - Supervision is essential

            500 formal coaching hours to gain ICF PCC

19:45   ICF Coach accreditation is one approach

            References are important
