Your Coaching Journey

We regularly see psychological and coaching models being shared on social media, in blogs and discussions, and sometimes the sharing sets our teeth on edge.

We've mentioned this before when we explored the myth of Ikigai, and in this episode, we'd like to air some thoughts on a model often shared on social media, Kübler-Ross Change Curve.

In this episode we would like to engage in a little mythbusting around where this model comes from, why it's unhelpful to call it the Kübler-Ross Change Curve, and under what circumstances talking about change in terms of curve may, or may not be useful.

We can't quite believe that we've arrived at the milestone of recording 50 episodes of the Your Coaching Journey podcast! We thought we might run out of things to say to one another after half a dozen, but here we are, still having great conversations about coaching almost a year on from recording our first episode.

We've loved every minute of it. More than that, we've loved hearing from you that you love it too.

As it's our 50th episode we thought we'd indulge in a little self-promotion, which we seldom do, so this week we're talking about how our Transformational Coaching Diploma programme came to exist, what makes it different to many coaching courses and what we love about running it.

From time to time we devote an episode to questions about coaching that have been asked by our listeners.

In this episode we explore whether, as a new coach who hasn't quite got all the tools at your fingertips, you can still be a great coach. We also chat about pricing, whether it's worth being accredited as a coach, and what you need to think about if you're working in an organisation and they are paying you to coach a member of their staff.

If you have a question to ask about coaching and would like us to answer it for you on the podcast, do send us your questions, or even drop us a voice note of your question, and we'll feature it on a future episode.

If you're a regular listener to our podcast you will have noticed that we regularly discuss how we might deal with different topics that show up in the coaching room. This week we discussed working with coachees around meaning and purpose.

Coachees may not always come to coaching asking for support on finding meaningful purpose, but often they'll talk about feeling stuck, feeling lost, or feeling as though they're in a bit of a rut. At these times a conversation around what their purpose is and what is meaningful to them can encourage them to generate some new thinking about what might add more meaningful purpose to their life.

You might well have had times in your own life when you've had similar feelings and struggled to find a way through that time. Coaching conversations provide the perfect opportunity to open up this deeper thinking for the coachee.

In this episode we explore the concepts of meaning, purpose, and meaningful purpose, and what elements might contribute to the notion of living a meaningful life.

Whilst journalling isn't a tool that you would necessarily wish to use in the coaching room, it can still be a useful concept to introduce to your coachees. Well, Helen thinks so anyway. Tom isn't entirely convinced, but has his own ideas around when journalling might be useful.

In this episode Helen shares some reflections on journaling and also describes her own experience of keeping a journal. She also introduces a journalling method that she would happily invite her coachees to try out.

While not entirely on board with the idea of regular journalling, Tom shares some insights into an alternative form of expressive writing that he has used with some success. As you will hear, we don't always entirely agree on the topics we discuss, and think it would be rather strange if we did. We know that our differences make life in general, and our podcast conversations in particular, a little more interesting. Hopefully, our differences of opinion will generate some new thinking on your part too, as you explore coaching topics for yourself and settle on your own views.

In our journey through the different approaches to coaching, we'd like to introduce you to Transformational Coaching.

Transformational Coaching is a flexible and integrative approach that allows coaches to explore a variety of topics and concerns with their coachees and to be agile in the coaching room. This agility enables coaches to move smoothly between different ways of being with their coachees as required. The integrative nature of Transformational Coaching provides a variety of tools and techniques that have their roots in psychology, are often evidence backed and encourage coaches to create their own unique approach to coaching.

In this episode, we will share what Transformational Coaching means to us, what it involves, and why we offer this approach in our Doctors' Transformational Coaching Diploma.

We regularly see psychological and coaching models being shared on social media, in blogs and discussions, and sometimes the sharing sets our teeth on edge.

"What's the cause of this mild irritation?" you may ask.

Well we like to try to get our information sharing right and we carry out plenty of research around the subjects we talk about on our podcast. But we know that not everyone does the same. So when we know that information is being misrepresented or misinterpreted in some way, we have a slight reaction to it.

Ikigai is one of those models that has become a phenomenon online in a way that's not particularly helpful.

In this episode we would like to do a little mythbusting around Ikigai and help to ensure that you, as a coach, are sharing the right information with your clients. We will talk about the origins of the diagram, why it's not Ikigai, and what Ikigai actually is.

In this episode we explore how to handle a coachee who doesn't seem to be taking action between coaching sessions; what support we should expect to provide a coachee between sessions; how to explore whether our coaching is effective and receive feedback on our coaching; and what insurance you need to think about as a coach.

If you're a regular listener to our podcast you will have noticed that we regularly discuss how we might deal with different topics that show up in the coaching room.

We recognise that everyone will have experienced some negative thinking about themselves from time to time and that's just part of the human condition. For most people this can be a little annoying or frustrating, and doesn't cause too much of a problem for much of the time. But there are times when, for some coachees, the inner voice becomes louder and more persistent.

At times like these, this inner dialogue can become a barrier to a coachee's personal or professional growth and often has an adverse impact on their self esteem. This phenomenon is often termed the 'Inner Critic'.

In this episode we explore the concept of the Inner Critic; what it is, how we might spot it coming up for a coachee, and what tools and techniques might be useful in the coaching room to help to quieten this unhelpful voice and allow other parts of our coachees' inner dialogue to be show up more often and be more noticeable.

Following on from our episode about neuroscience in coaching in this episode we focus on the SCARF model, which has its origins in social neuroscience.

SCARF was developed as a model by leadership expert David Rock and helps us to focus our attention on an organising principle in the brain; to minimise threat and maximise reward. Rock's assertion is that this principle leads us to move away from threat and move towards reward. Furthermore Rock identifies five domains that produce either a threat or reward response in individuals within any social group,

Assisting a coachee in exploring their situation through this model can help them to gain new perspectives, understand themselves and their reactions better, modify their own thinking and behaviours, and understand the responses of others.
