In the coaching context, time is both a parameter and a container for reflection that spans the duration of the continuing lived experiences that is drawn to attention, a space for learning-unlearning-(re)learning, realising growth and development, and continuing developing character within a series of timed scheduled events.
I hope that everyone has had a good start to 2023 and that several readers and members have enjoyed the quick succession of welcoming in the western and lunar (Chinese) new year! It feels like 2023 starts now for many as they come off what might be considered a 'normal' break. Firstly, we're delighted to share the following three blogs we're looking forward to publishing from next week and making the good coach's announcement for change in 2023…
Recently a peer, who has worked in leadership development for almost two decades and holds a doctorate, reached out and asked a question about a challenge involving another coach which they considered to be an ethical issue. It was clear in their mind that the situation shouldn’t be taking place, especially as they are also trained as a therapist and the type of dynamic involved would never be allowed. With their permission, I asked if I could summarise their question/observations and share here after writing my response to their important challenge.
Understanding that curiosity is one of the basic traits needed for survival has been a paradigm shift for me, my coaching practice, and my education because it addresses how I have intuitively applied curiosity in my coaching practice with my clients to enable their potential. In Part 2, I’ll go into more detail of how curiosity manifests itself in my work as a coach and the approach I’ve used to write up these experiences for curious coaching practitioners to consider as part of their own continuing professional and personal development.
Understanding that curiosity is one of the basic traits needed for survival has been a paradigm shift for me, my coaching practice, and my education because it addresses how I have intuitively applied curiosity in my coaching practice with my clients to enable their potential. In Part one, I describe why curiosity is important in my practice, and in Part two, I will explain how curiosity unfolds and emerges though my work as a coach.
Does the pain of writing outweigh the gains that you will receive from writing?
The results shared in this report aims to fill in key gaps on what it takes to be a coach, and what’s involved in having a sustainable career in coaching. Where useful, we’ve also added some key insights and frameworks for coaches to consider alongside their own practice.
For Maria and Yvonne, after working for a combined years of 20+ years and collectively over 350 clients around the world, it’s been a while since we’ve taken those training wheel off and in each of our ways moved to that curiosity stage of all the different components that makes coaching coaching. We wanted to share from our experiences some of the myths we hold that when we begin to explore in more detail, that there is more to consider than what meets the eye.
Working as a coach can be a lonely endeavour. There is no standard formula for developing your business, and it is often challenging to confidently know how you perform relative to your peers. As coaches we all benefit from learning from each other, and we have designed this practitioner survey to do just that.
As I stepped back to further reflect on what I’ve written, and integrating them with my recent experiences of coaching, I began to evaluate my style of coaching and what could be underpinning my approach. The key word that continuously popped up for me was ‘character’.
Feedback is especially useful to further understand how I am developing my coaching style and approach. From my clients’ feedback, there is a general acknowledgement to my depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding of coaching, and how I flexibly apply it to meet my client’s challenges.
Having the opportunity to year-on-year publish a new book as part of the ‘Translating Coaching Codes of Practice’ series gives the good coach community both validation and confidence that the good coach approach is making positive headway in delivering a sustainable and robust approach that is slowly reaching its vision; to touch 1 percent of the global population with inspiring, and effective, coaching conversations.
In our second book, Translating Coaching Codes of Practice: Insights from the Leading Edges of Everyday Practitioners, we began ‘growing’ a collection of coaching knowledge drawn from everyday practitioners. They had already made their transition into coaching were now focused on their practice and curious about how they had confidence in their coaching approach. In this edited collection, they shared their insights.
In our first book, Much Ado About Coaching, many of the pieces reflect how coaches and clients managed their change and transition for a better work-life balance. A common challenge for coaches who have started their journey into coaching.
