The Coaching Cafe Podcast Open Door Coaching

We know that every coaching session needs to include the question ‘what do you want to achieve?’ (or some form of that question). We are taught that from day one of our coaching education. And from an ICF Core Competency perspective it is a critical part of establishing the coaching agreement.  But we also know there’s more to establishing and maintaining a coaching agreement than just this question.
Therefore, building on our theme of exploring the ‘ICF Core Competencies’, this week in the Coaching Café join Natalie and Paula as we discuss ‘Establishes and Maintains Agreements’.
We will look at what it means from a competency point of view, but also provide some pertinent reminders about inserting certain questions into the coaching conversation to meet this competency.

Developing a coaching mindset is a key outcome of all coaching programs. We want people to walk out of coach training program having developed a coaching mindset…or least being open to a coaching mindset or on their way. And it’s not something that is a given, or that we can take for granted. Nor is coaching mindset fully understood, hence Natalie including it as part of her Doctorate studies.
 
Therefore, building on our theme of exploring the ‘ICF Core Competencies’, this week in the Coaching Café join Natalie and Paula as we discuss ‘Embodies a Coaching Mindset’. We will look at what it means from a competency point of view, but also discuss things that might get in the way of a coaching mindset.
 
This series is perfectly timed in the lead up to International Coach Week (13th – 19th May 2024), to give us an opportunity to reflect on ourselves as coaches and on our workplace coaching practice.

In the assessment of a coaching demonstration (known as the ICF Performance Evaluation) across the different levels of ICF credential, the competency of ‘Demonstrates Ethical Practice’ clearly states what a ‘fail’ would look like – that is, where a credential at any level would be denied.
 
With this in mind, we are digging back into our theme of exploring the ‘ICF Core Competencies’, specifically around ethics. This series is perfectly timed in the lead up to International Coach Week (13th – 19th May 2024), to give us an opportunity to reflect on ourselves as coaches and on our workplace coaching practice.  
 
Therefore, join the Natalie, Paula and Brigitte for this interactive Coaching Café discussion as we sharpen up our coaching skills by exploring what an ‘instant fail’ in a coaching demonstration would look/sound/feel like. And of course, how to avoid that situation in your coaching.  In particular, we tap into Brigitte’s knowledge and experience as an Assessor at the ICF PCC level for nearly 20 years.

‘What if AI can make my coaching better?’, I asked. 
‘What would that look like? What difference would that make to my coaching?’. 
‘Only one way to find out!’ I thought, ‘let’s put it to the test’.
This week in our Coaching Cafe we continue to discuss a key trend in coaching: the use of AI in coaching. And we turn our thinking to: how we can use AI for continuous improvement in our coaching – specifically to make us better coaches.  And to do this we will take Natalie’s actual transcripts of PCC level recordings and ask AI for feedback on how the coaching could be improved.
So join Natalie and Paula Jones-Hunt our Resident HR Specialist for this eye-opening Coaching Café, to find out the results of how AI can make us a better coach, including at the top levels of ICF competency.
