In this week’s episode we are discussing self funding your coaching course. We have had a number of conversations with people who are considering self funding and we wanted to explore 5 reasons why you might self fund your qualification. 

We discuss:

• When is it better to hold out for your employer to fund your qualification?

• What does self funding give you?

• Is training alongside your colleagues what you want to do?

• Why self funding enables you to come to a course as who you are not what you do

• How to look at the course as an investment rather than a cost?

• Adding an additional income into the household pot through your coaching qualification

There is no right or wrong way to fund your coaching qualification. We understand that everyone has to make individual decisions about how to spend their money. In making these decisions it’s important to truly understand what you will gain from the investment. So if you are considering self funding your course then do get in touch with us to discuss your options.

In this week’s episode we are discussing how you know when you’re coaching. Now this might seem like a simple question but depending on how experienced we are and possibly the position we are in this can become trickier. We will discuss: - the difference between directive and non-directive coaching - what is the unlearning phase of coaching - why a coaching conversation sounds different to a normal conversation - content free coaching - detaching from the outcome

There are so many types of conversations you can have with your client. We encourage you to explore them so that you can begin to notice them. How do you notice when you are coaching and when perhaps you are stepping into a different type of conversation with your client?
