Advanced OW

Live Training Accelerator Session

This live training concentrates on the 'Options’ and 'Way Forward’ aspects, as well as introducing a range of ideas for keeping clients going on their path forward.

Generating new ideas and options with a client, when they feel they are totally stuck, is a big challenge for many new coaches. This live training accelerator looks at ways to keep the options flowing by taking a different perspective on the situation. Your trainer will also teach you how to identify resourceful states, and talk through ways of designing great actions that will leave a client 100% committed to its achievement.

A further session on deep questioning precedes the final part of the training which looks at a couple of key issues that every coach will come up against at some point in their coaching career.

Firstly, how do you deal with a client whose motivation to complete a goal is dipping?

Approaching problems in a new way is often the solution. Added creativity and thinking outside of the box can keep the client excited about moving forward.

And secondly, how does a coach deal with a client’s procrastination? When the 'Way Forward’ looks uncertain how do you as the coach help the client clear the path towards the goal so they can set out once more with confidence?

“In essence, GROW is coaching. Without the structure that GROW affords, clients would lack direction, awareness, commitment and action,” says Kris Robertson, who is responsible for mentoring The Coaching Academy’s student coaches.
