Over the past few weeks in our Coaching Café we have been bringing the ICF Core Competencies to life, particularly by unpacking coaching demonstrations. And we have been delighted with the interaction and increasing numbers of people joining us from all around the world, to explore how they can grow their coaching awareness and competency.

We have taken a deeper dive into the more subtle ICF competencies, for example: #4 Cultivates Trust and Safety, #5 Maintains Presence and #7 Evokes Awareness and it makes us feel very warm and fuzzy that we are surrounded by an Alumni who want to continue to pursue their professional development, across the levels of coaching experience and training.

With this in mind, we finish our series with a competency that that we possibly take for granted as coaches: #6 Listens Actively. There’s a lot more to this competency than simply listening and then paraphrasing, in particular picking up on what the coachee is not saying.

Therefore, join us for this Coaching Café as we deep dive into #6 Listens Actively and find ways to extend our ability to make a difference in our coaching.

International Coaching Week gives us an opportunity to reflect on ourselves as coaches and on our workplace coaching practice. And one of the best ways to do this is to listen to great coaching. In fact, one of the most popular requests we receive is for coaching demonstrations; in particular for PCC or MCC level coaching.

Therefore, in this very special presentation as we listen to coaching by Brigitte Calvert our Learning and Development Manager. We will do this through the lens of the ICF Core Competencies. Importantly, this is a coaching demonstration that will open your eyes to what it really means to explore, evoke awareness and partner with a client.

We guarantee some of the questions that Brigitte asks in the moment with intuition will really leave you saying ‘wow’.

Furthermore, to get the most out of this learning experience we recommend you can download the transcript ahead of time. In addition, download the ICF Core Competencies.

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.
