Coaching is a powerful approach to working with individuals and groups. It enables people to work towards what they want rather than what they don’t want. It is being fast recognised as the “missing link” in helping people to change health beliefs, raise self efficacy and develop sustainable plans. This day is aimed at independent practitioners who want to explore coaching and consider using it as part of their professional “tool kit”. It aims to provide some practical tools, hands-on practice and personal experience of coaching. It will show how coaching not only benefits our clients, but also supports our own personal and business development.
Course outcomes
It is intended that at the conclusion of the programme the independent practitioner will have:
- Identified and understood the fundamental processes involved in coaching including opportunity to practice some coaching tools, and have experience of being coached
- Understood the barriers to coaching
- Explored possible applications of coaching
