The competencies required for effective coaching take practice to develop. Having a solid model, or approach, to coaching helps the coach navigate the session. But without the skills needed to respond to the unexpected, coaches often get stuck or lost. The series, Going Deeper with Coaching, helps coaches take their practice to the next level.
For coaches who have completed the three-part series, “The Art of Reflective Coaching,” Laura offers a series of trainings for going deeper with coaching: implementing video into the coaching conversation, coaching competencies, constructive approaches to integrating the coaching practices amidst coaching dilemmas. Or, whatever topic you feel you need to advance your practice to the next level.
Going Deeper with Coaching: topics to explore
The art of coaching demands an ongoing commitment to updating our understanding of human behavior. After all, we work with Humans, not Hondas! There is no manual for “how” to approach every situation. As such, coaching can feel a little bit like walking a tightrope without a net. Scary! Take a listen to Laura’s podcast called “Seeing the adult behind the behavior” for ideas on going deeper with coaching.
Or, consider take a peek inside a coaching session with Laura and two preschool teachers for a glimpse at Laura’s approach.
Let Laura guide you in strengthening your coaching practice. With a few simple adjustments, you will be working smarter, not harder! And, feeling more confident in your abilities as a coach.
