Self-care for Coaches

8th November 2022

This interactive workshop will provide a space where coaches can take the time out to reflect on their own self-care, supported by an OD/Wellbeing Specialist to learn share and experience insights, tools and techniques for improving your self-care practice and overall wellbeing.

As Coaches, we often spend a lot of time helping others, holding space for others to explore, learn and grow and this can often extend out into the rest of our lives. This will be a reflective, creative and interactive space to focus on you and to experience mindful and thought-provoking discussion and learning, with the opportunity to come away with clear self-care commitments and tools to support you.


What you can expect

We’ll explore why is self-care so important as coaches and why taking an holistic wellbeing approach is beneficial to us and others. There will be an opportunity to share insights on our drivers, patterns, understanding the challenges (what gets in the way) and an exercise to reflect on our own current practice. We’ll take a mindful walk with purpose and share strategies, tips, enablers and tools for improving self-care practice.

Coaching in the Wild: Using a clean approach when things feel stuck

Friday 11th February 2022

In some coaching sessions and on some days you may feel absolutely at your best as a coach. And as we are also human, there will be times when things happen which change your state. These things can be internal – how you are feeling in that moment, and external, how for example, your client is showing up. As we know mind and body are interconnected and what affects one affects the other.

Jackie recently has had some experiences where people made great demands of her and those demands were based on the client/coachee expectations of what she would do for them. By keeping a Clean Stance, asking Clean questions and using some models, Jackie was able to get to good or great outcomes with the clients taking responsibility for themselves.


Who is this session for?

The session is for all coaches who want to explore how to use clean approaches to be at their best for themselves and for their clients

  • Perhaps, in the moment, you are stuck with a client?
  • Maybe your client is presenting in a way which means you don’t necessarily know how to respond or is outside of your experience or comfort zone (think neuro difference)
  • Perhaps you are feeling a responsibility to rescue or are working too hard?

The content for this session is fluid. We will certainly be using Clean Language questions and Clean Set up, and  other models will emerge on the day depending on what comes up in the group.


What you can expect

  • Some written resources to take away
  • Plenty of practice
  • A collaborative experience and plenty of facilitate discussion
