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.
