Your Coaching Journey

Following on from our last episode on Transactional Analysis, this episode focuses on the key model from the Transactional Analysis approach to coaching; the Parent – Adult – Child Model.

This is a model that will help us, as coaches, to understand the ego states that our coachee might be entering into at certain times during interactions with others.

It may also help us to talk to coachees about whether they are responding in an adult way to the here and now or are drawing on old, learned, patterns of response.

In addition, using the Parent - Adult – Child model might allow coachees to gain a different perspective on the behaviour of those that they interact with.

In this episode we look at the model in more detail and discuss how and when you might introduce it your clients.

Transactional Analysis is a psychological theory that can help us to understand and explore human interactions and relationships.

In this episode we explore, what it is, where it comes from, and how it can be a useful approach to use in the coaching room. We also share two models, The Parent - Adult - Child model, and the Drama Triangle, that might prove useful in the coaching room. Both models can be introduced to coachees to encourage them to reflect on their relationships and to allow them to gain new perspectives around the ways that their interactions with others play out.

We will regularly be devoting a podcast episode to discussing some widely held coaching beliefs, common coaching practices and coaching challenges that are often pondered and debated.

Today we are talking about challenging our coachees. Coaching is a supportive space and we engage with our coachees with empathy and positive regard. So, what place does challenge have in the coaching room? Should we ever challenge our coachees? If we do challenge them, what might we challenge them about and how might we go about doing that. What are some of the potential risks of challenging a coachee?

Join us to find out what we think and once you've listened in let us know your own thoughts.

Mindset is a term regularly used within coaching but what exactly is it? How might we encourage someone to reflect on their own mindset in the coaching room? How might we work with coachees to adapt fixed ways they have of thinking about certain areas of their life and allow them to develop and grow.

In this episode we explore the work of Carol Dweck and her Growth Mindset theory. Complete with a brief example of a coaching conversation around a mindset issue, we think you'll enjoy this episode and hope that it will provide you with some food for thought.

Following on from our podcast episode about Positive Psychology (Episode 25) we thought it would be helpful to introduce you to a model created by Martin Seligman, the grandfather of Positive Psychology; The PERMA Model

Since its original creation PERMA has been expanded by other positive psychologists to create the PERMAH model, and in this episode we'll be exploring a tool based on this model; The PERMAH Wheel.

If you're looking for a way to help your clients feel more content with their lives; have a sense of subjective wellbeing; improve their relationships; find more meaning in their life and work and focus on improving their health, this is a great tool.

Positive Psychology is a relatively new branch of psychology and is underpinned by a vast body of research studies. It is a huge topic, so in this episode we will be starting at the beginning and offering an introduction to positive psychology and its relationship to coaching. We'll also be exploring three important elements of positive psychology; positive emotions; working with strengths; and the concept of flow, all of which have their place in coaching conversations.

Accountability is often something that is referred to by coachees as a reason for having coaching; so their coach can be their accountability partner and hold them to account. In this episode we will be exploring accountability and whether it is the role of a coach to hold their coachee to account, or whether they should be demonstrating their support in other ways.

Resilience is a favourite topic of Tom's. So much so, he has explored, researched, taught, and written about resilience for a number of years now. So, what better person to ask about how we might explore resilience, or a perceived lack of resilience, when our clients start discussing it in the coaching room?

In this episode we explore the various forms that resilience might take; what it might look like; what the factors are that will be influencing the resilience of our coachees; and how we might help our coachees maintain or replenish their resilience through good times and bad.

Tom will also be sharing his own TELEGRAM model of resilience with us.

Resources:

You can access more information about the model here:

Or for a comprehensive guide to resilience in all its forms you might wish to purchase Tom's book: Agile Resilience: The Psychology of Developing Resilience In The Workplace. You can order the book here: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/products/

Whether we view tension within a work or social relationship as conflict, or just the other person being awkward, we will all have our own way of approaching these potentially difficult situations. In this episode we explore how you might help your coachees to understand their approach to difficult situations with others.

A great tool to use when discussing conflict styles with your coachees is the Conflict Styles Matrix, which stems from the work of Thomas and Kilmann.

We'll also look at how a coachee might flex their own conflict styles in different situations and how this might lead to them experiencing more positive outcomes.

Here's an illustration of where they sit in terms of cooperation and assertiveness:
