SUMMARY:Taking the Coaching Approach 2026
DESCRIPTION:THIS COURSE IS OPEN TO ALL ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS\nFRIDAY JUNE 12th \nPresented by – Graham Taylor. \n\nWorkshop Outline: \n\n\nThe ‘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 at external motivators. The workshop’s goal is to help a person learn rather than teaching them. \n\n\nThe workshop will 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 raise responsibility (take responsibility for their actions and increasing ownership and accountability). \n\n\nPractical coaching principles and processes are demonstrated\, elaborated and practiced during the workshop. \n\n\nA full set of support notes are provided for each participant that covers the principles\, processes and the listening and speaking of the coaching approach. \n\n\nTarget Audience \n\nOpen to all allied health professionals \n\nThe coaching approach can be applied to any\, and all\, human interaction.
