Coaching Mastery

Master coaches move beyond ‘doing’ coaching to ‘being’ a coach. They embody the deeper attitudes and inner identity of a coach and hold a respectful mind-set that is free of judgement and rooted in strong partnership.

• Contracting becomes an even more meaningful experience that gets to the real truth of the issue.
• Exploration emerges from penetrating attention, curious questioning, and the full somatic presence of both the coach and coachee.
• The coach calls playfully and mindfully on elements of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis as principal psychologies and systemic thinking stances, and Heron’s model of interventions to build the ‘usefulness’ of a holistic approach rather than the ‘helpfulness’ of a problem solver.
• Endings create the space for new beginnings.

• Be flexible to not knowing and the message of the moment.
• Work with your coachees to uncover enduring ways forward – actions and reflections.
• Move inertia to performance and ‘stuck-ness’ to dynamism.
• Work through a diagnostic-resourcing-resolution process in service of the coachee.

• Graduates of Coaching for Performance who wish to take their skills and self-awareness to a new level.
• Previously accredited coaches wishing to engage in continuous professional development.
• Those who work with coachees on deeper relationship-based issues.

• Generate a trusting learning partnership supportive of developmental stretch.
• Be clear and explicit about your intent when coaching.
• Make a range of intra- and inter-personal coaching interventions.
• Deliver appropriate, influential behaviour when coaching.
• Respond to and challenge unhelpful climate indicators.
• Bring about profound and personal learning.
