Abstract
Coaching is part art, part science. Many studies have shown that the success of a coaching assignment depends significantly on the coach's ability to connect with the individual they are coaching. But what if the person is ‘hard’ to work with??
Coaching success also depends on the context and timing of the coaching (it doesn't happen in a vacuum). So how does a coach get a handle on the current circumstances and pressures being faced??
In this roll-your-sleeves-up, interactive how-to session you'll work in small groups to take a look at a few profiles of individuals we've coached, to explore and choose ways to get the individuals on board and working well towards their goals. We’ll share our ideas and approaches too. Our aim is to give you insights into coaching conundrums, effective techniques and practical tips to enhance your coaching. And we’ll have some fun along the way.
This presentation will be a How To’ Session.
‘How to’ sessions are ‘mini workshops’ that offer fast-tracked learning and are intended to offer specific practical advice and guidance on particular aspects of practice of relevance to delegates. ‘How to’ sessions demonstrate skills or techniques, permit audience participation, and are ideal for practitioners to share an aspect of their professional expertise/learning. ‘How to’ sessions provide a forum for presenting work of an applied nature on any topic relevant to organisational psychology. Please note there are no marketing opportunities for particular products or services, and submissions of this nature will not be considered.
