  1. Episode #147 - Coaching Approaches: Strengths Coaching

    6D AGO

    Episode #147 - Coaching Approaches: Strengths Coaching

    When coachees are facing difficulties in their work or home lives it's easy for them to spend their time in the coaching room in problem-talk. They often speak from a place of helplessness and a lack of resources. Using a strengths based approach can allow a coachee to connect with their own inner resources, and some external resources too, to allow them to think through their situation, find their own solution and move forward.   In this episode we explore what a strengths approach looks like, what tools are useful in drawing out someone's strengths and when it might be useful to engage with this approach.  Resources:  VIA Character Strengths: https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register Strengths & Values Cards: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/discovery/   Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #145: Coaching Model: Egan's Skilled Helper Model

    A model from the 1970s, Egan's Skilled Helper Model (ESHM) is often taught on mentoring training courses, and many of our coaching doctors have come across it from such training.    Having evolved from the therapeutic space ESHM sits well within the coaching environment and has some interesting elements to explore.   Join us in this episode as we explore the ESHM model, its benefits and its limitations.    Resources:  To take a look at the visual model please visit our webpage: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/project/145-coaching-model-egans-skilled-helper-model/     Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #143: Art in Coaching

    Coaching can take many forms and, for the most part, it will involve a conversation where the coach is focused on the coachee. However, sometimes it's helpful for the coachee to draw their thoughts out on paper and for the focus in the coaching room to switch to what has been created.  Focusing on the coachee's artistic endeavours can reveal new insights and draw out aspects of a scenario that might never have surfaced in a normal coaching conversation. We're strong advocates of using art in coaching. In this episode we discuss different ways in which we might support our coachees in getting in touch with their creative talents and expanding their thinking in the process.  We explore some of the neurological reasons for the use of art being an effective approach in the coaching room and also invite our listeners to be curious and have a go at a simple artistic exercise.   Resources:  Research article on creativity and neuroimaging: Julian Kutsche, Joseph J.

    Episode #141: Coaching Model: The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team

    "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," (5DT) is a team dynamics model, created by Patrick Lencioni.  5DT outlines a powerful, interconnected set of potential dysfunctions that a team might fall prey to, and offers an insight into what the underlying causes of the dysfunctions might be. In setting out the 5DT model, Lencioni provides a simple way to understand why teams struggle to achieve their full potential.   In this episode we explore the 5DT model and discuss why it might be useful for coaches to introduce it to their coachees. This is particularly relevant when working with leaders of teams.    Resources:  To access the visual representation of this model, please visit our webpage:  https://yourcoachingjourney.com/project/141-coaching-model-the-5-dysfunctions-of-a-team/   Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #140: The Positive Psychology Concept of Flow

    "Flow," often described as being "in the zone," is a psychological state of deep and effortless immersion in an activity, where you lose any sense of yourself, time and possible distractions.     It's a concept that was introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, in the 1970s and provides an important aspect of the Engagement element of Martin Seligman's PERMAH model within the world of positive psychology.   Having an understanding of Flow might help you to support your coachees in improving their own wellbeing.    In this episode of our podcast we explore Flow, what it is and what it isn't, and how it might be useful in the coaching room.    Enjoy the podcast?
