Taking the Coaching Approach 2023

July 21, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

TAKING THE COACHING APPROACH

GRAHAM TAYLOR

FRIDAY JULY 21st

 About the course.

The ‘Taking a coaching approach’ workshop offers an additional developmental tool for those who work directly with people. It is built on a style of communication and motivation aimed at unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their performance. Rather than ‘telling, directing and instructing’ the coaching approach aims at developing internal or self-motivation – aiming at the ‘inner person’ rather than external motivators. It is aimed at helping a person learn rather than teaching them.

The aim of the workshop is to provide coaching principles and processes and practice sessions to consolidate within people helpers a methodology that taps into the potential that exists within the client or patient. The methodology focuses on questions that raise awareness (what is happening around the client or patient; raise self-awareness (what they are experiencing personally) and to raise responsibility (take responsibility for their actions and increasing ownership and accountability).

Practical coaching principles and processes are demonstrated, elaborated and practiced within the workshop. The workshop involves two full practice sessions of combining the coaching principles, coaching process (the GROW model) and the listening and speaking skills of the coaching approach.

A full set of support notes are provided for each participant that covers the principles, processes and the listening and speaking of the coaching approach.
