Your Coaching Journey

In this episode we are exploring a topic that we both notice showing up a lot in the coaching room. It's also a phenomenon that we have both found ourselves experiencing at various times. There's also a very good chance that you have some experience of it yourself. We're talking about Imposter Syndrome.

Research suggests that between 70 and 84% of people engaging a coach experience feeling like an imposter. It's therefore helpful to reflect on what is meant by the term 'imposter syndrome' and to consider what approaches you might adopt to support your clients when they bring it in to the coaching room.

In this episode we discuss a new coaching model that we have introduced in our training programme. Having used and taught the GROW model for many years we have long recognised that it has its limitations, especially when coachees don't come to the coaching room with specific goals.

We've created a model that flows with the natural rhythm of a coaching conversation and provides the coachee with the opportunity to reflect on the importance of the topic they have brought to the coaching room; the change that they would like to see; and the new thinking that they have generated during the session.

In this episode we continue with our series of interviews with coaches by introducing and exploring the coaching journey of one of

our podcast hosts, Helen Leathers.

We find out what led her to coaching; the reasons why she had never really wanted to be a coach; how she approaches coaching and what keeps her busy now (apart from this podcast). We will also explore her favourite coaching tool and her most useful coaching question!

Helen would like to add that somehow, she completely forgot to mention her love of dancing and how she is soon to embark on a course of adult tap-dancing lessons!

In this episode we introduce solution-focused coaching. It's an approach that is particularly popular in organisations as it seeks to move the coachee quickly to a solution and a way forward.

It's also a coaching approach that doctors tend to feel comfortable with as they are very used to taking a history, considering symptoms, diagnosing a condition, and offering advice on a way forward.

Within a coaching conversation the challenges for doctors include refraining from offering advice, allowing the coachee to generate their own options and deciding for themselves how they might move forward.

You might recognise some of the elements of the solution-focused approach that we discuss and perhaps even use them in your own coaching without realising where they originated.

We will be regularly discussing some of the widely held coaching beliefs, common coaching practices and challenges around coaching that are often pondered and debated. In this episode we will be exploring what happens when we ask our coachees closed questions and pondering whether it's ever okay to do so. Well also be discussing asking multiple questions, asking leading questions and asking under what circumstances you might choose to ask your coachee the question, 'Why?'

If you'd like to know how Helen, an experienced women's empowerment coach, explores and works through issues that her clients have with boundaries, then join us for this episode.

Helen will also be sharing her top tips to get on the right track with your own boundary setting.

In this episode we talk about one of the most popular and probably most frequently used coaching tools; The Wheel of Life.

We will be exploring the versatility of this tool, introducing the basics of how to use it and looking at ways that it can be adapted to use in different circumstances. The Wheel of Life has a few surprising elements to uncover, so join us to learn how you might incorporate it into your coaching and, you never know, you may feel inspired to find your own way of adapting it for your own coaching.

In this episode, produced by MonkeyPants Productions, we will be introducing the person-centred approach to coaching. It's an approach that, if you have had some coaching or any coach training, you will probably recognise, even if you didn't know what it was called.

The person-centred approach provides the basis for non-directive coaching, so it lies at the heart of most people's coaching. Today we will discuss where it stems from, what the key elements of it are, when it is best used, and when perhaps you will want to switch to a different approach.
