What does coaching comprise and how has
it developed?
Coaching has gone through a metamorphosis
over time, moving from:
|
 |
The Instructional level - emerging
from sports coaching and the world of instruction
on how to do things better, mentoring beginners
in a new profession or role.
|
|
Coaching for emotional skills and resilience
in developing the capabilities to withstand demands
and changes in the workplace. |
|
Coaching for how to learn - the facilitation of
the awareness of styles and methods of acquiring,
storing and applying information. |
|
Transformational Coaching - a place for questioning
assumptions, developing a place for critical reflection,
where one can work with thinking feeling behaviour
and physiological implications of life and business
events. |
| |
What makes our Coaching Training especially effective
is that our training programme applies to all four
levels and it is experiential as well as based
on sound theoretical models. |
|
a way of putting the person/manager/executive/creative
artist back in the driving seat. |
|
a process of change, which makes your
desired future become the achieved and enjoyable
present. |
|
a dedicated alliance that is tailor
made for the client; through the alliance
the client is enabled to focus on their true
objectives. |
|
a focus on the choice of practical
options that fit you and those around you. |
|
a bit like driving a car in the
rain. The coach is like the windscreen wipers, clearing the
windscreen so you can concentrate on where
you are going. |
|
value based in that it helps
people identify the motives that underpin
the best decisions affecting their life
at work.
 |
|
an excellent, dynamic, interesting,
effective, practical and enjoyable process
of learning the skills and values that underpin effective
Executive, Business and Personal Coaching practice.
|
|
an emphasis on a sense of practical
skills and techniques that enable
both parties to get maximum benefit from
coaching sessions. |
|
theories behind the training include: Transactional
Analysis, Gestalt, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic
Programming) and practical solution focussed approaches. |
|
the main aim is to provide high
quality training involving theory skills and practice to
train competent,
ethical and confident coaches.
|
| |
There are opportunities to experiment
and practice under supervision, and the teaching
is face to face, not distance learning. Training
coaches are given a portfolio of exercises and
methods which can be built up as a valuable resource.
Apart from the existing accreditation we are
in the process of developing a new Coaching Accreditation
body entitled the Association of European Coaches,
Supervisors and Organisational Consultants, and
we will be preparing Coaches for International
Coaching Federation (ICF) accreditation. |
