Event Details
Have you ever felt stuck with a coachee, and think that your conversation could go much deeper?
Use this opportunity to sharpen your questioning skills with your fellow coaches – come and join 2025's first Coaching Skills Enhancement (CSE) Community of Practice on January 16, from 7:00-8.30 pm via Zoom.
In this session, you will be challenged to ask questions which provoke fresh thinking!
This session will be led by trained facilitators who have been mentored by Tony Latimer, MCC.
You will be put into break-out rooms to maximize your learning experience so come prepared with your own case:
1. What is the issue you would like to get some fresh thinking on?
2. What is the help you would like to get from the group?
Due to the nature of the process, even if your case is not the one chosen for the session, your subconscious will work on your case and give you some fresh ideas, while you are enjoying sharpening your coaching skills on someone else's!
Methodology:
The facilitator will ask for a volunteer to discuss their case for the session, which they'd like to get some fresh thinking on.
The facilitator then takes the group through a structured process:
- Coaches will ask questions from the coachee aimed at triggering fresh thinking
- After 10 minutes, the coachee will be asked which questions triggered a pause / fresh thinking
- A 10-minute "Office Gossip" session will take place to offload any advice coaches are tempted to bring into the coaching conversation.
- The final session will be a challenge session to reframe those pieces of advise into thought-provoking questions
- A final check-in with the coachee will be done to get feedback which questions helped trigger fresh thinking.
