SUMMARY:Taking the Coaching Approach 2024
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Graham Taylor \nAbout the course  \nThe ‘Taking a coaching approach’ _workshop offers an additional developmental tool for those who work directly with people that 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. \nThe 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). \nSession One: Defining Coaching and the Coaching Approach  \n\nWhat is coaching ?\nCoaching demonstration and debrief\nDistinctions between professions – ( mentoring\, consultant\, therapy\, counselling etc )\nListening as a coach – listening “to”\, “though”\, “just” and the 3 “A’s” of listening\n\nSession Two: Coaching with the GROW Model  \n\nIntroduction to the GROW model\nWorking with the GROW coaching questions\nCoaching practice and debrief\n\nSession Three: Facilitating a Coaching Conversation  \n\nSpeaking with clear intention\nWhat makes a good coaching question ?\nGenuine inquiry and unattached advocacy\n\nSession Four: Further Practice Facilitating a Coaching Conversation \n\nCoaching practice\nDebrief and highlight learning applicable to the OT role\n\nAbout the Presenter  \nGraham Taylor has spent the past 52 years of his life encouraging\, supporting\, and developing people in leadership and management roles. \nHe has extensive experience in Training and Development. This experience started in the field of Youth Work where he was instrumental in developing strategic training and development for Youth Workers and young people and then\, in the mid 1980’s\, he moved into the management and development consultancy field within organisations. His consultancy has three interrelated arms or services: Leadership development\, Coaching and Facilitation services and a Training arm. \nGraham was first introduced to a ‘formal’ coaching structure in 1994 while working overseas. The coaching model provided a powerful structure and a use of linguistic tools that clearly assisted clients (and himself!) in developing the inner person and producing possibilities and options that did not seem visible outside of coaching. \nGraham has designed and facilitated this program titled ‘Taking the coaching approach’. \n\n\n\nTaking the coaching approach\n\n\nDate\nFriday July 5th\, 2024 \n08:30 – 16:30\n\n\nVenue\nPagoda Conference Room\, Pagoda Resort\, 112 Melville Parade\, Como\n\n\nCost \n  \n  \n \nEarly bird before 5/5/24 \nMember/Student $250.00 \nRural/remote member $200.00 \nNon-members $495.00 \nStandard rate after 5/5/24 \nMember/Student $300.00 \nRural/remote member $237.50 \nNon-members $495.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments\nWelcome Tea/Coffee\, Morning tea\, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided.\n\n\n\nBook Online
