When it comes to the way that coaching is approached and then discussed, there have traditionally been four different discourses that have become embedded in the coaching world. Simon Western, a leadership and coaching academic, identified the four discourses back in 2016 as being: -

• The Managerial approach

• The Psychological approach

• The Soul Guide approach

• The Network approach

In this episode we explore the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and consider what other discourses have arisen in the last decade since Simon Western identified these four ways of seeing coaching.

It is said that you can't manage time, you can only manage yourself, but we know that some topics brought to the coaching room, like overwhelm, making difficult decisions, unrealistic expectations, and boundaries, can often look like a time management issue.

In this episode we talk through how we might help someone in the coaching space, and explore two activities that might be useful to undertake with our coachees. Hopefully, investing your time in listening to the podcast will be a worthwhile enterprise and leave you feeling more equipped to have time-management conversations in the coaching room.

Coaching conversations are a great space in which to support individuals in engaging in a spot of meta-cognition; doing a little thinking about their thinking. With a little help, our coachees can explore their potentially unhelpful thinking around a scenario that is proving difficult for them.

There are different ways of approaching such situations and various tools that we can utilise, as coaches, to support our coachee's thinking. One such tool is the ABCDE model, which has its origins in the work of one of the founders of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach, Albert Ellis.

In this episode, we explore the ABCDE model, which allows the coachee to take any given event; consider what beliefs they have about that event; explore what the consequences of their belief and their thinking have, for themself and those around them.

Then, with the help of their coach, the coachee can dispute their own beliefs and reach a better emotional understanding and perspective.

Join us, on this week's podcast, as we take a deep dive into the value and utility of the ABCDE model in the coaching room.

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.

In this week's episode we begin what will be a much wider exploration of neurodiversity in the coaching arena and will start with some basics.

Join us as we explore some of the history of the concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergence and the evolution of the nuanced terminology that can lead to some confusion around the topic. We also start to think about what neurodiversity means to us as coaches.

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.
