Cultivating Coaching Readiness: Drawing Forth Masterful Thinking
This session is about shifting where value is created in coaching – shifting the responsibility for value creation to the thinker. And shifting the responsibility for screening for coachability to the custodians of coaching.
Your responsibility as a coach is to take care of the process so that the thinker can create value themselves, enabling them to access their inner wisdom, connect their own dots, and find answers that match their personality, context, motivations, beliefs and values.
Therefore, the thinker needs to be ready and willing to take that responsibility for creating value. In other words, they need to be ‘coaching ready’.
In this pioneering and sometimes provocative session, Master Coach Clare Norman invites you to consider your influence on every step of the coaching experience before you even get involved right through to closing a coaching programme and beyond.
The seeds of coachability are planted at the outset of an organisation’s commitment to coaching, not at the commencement of the coaching itself.
It takes a village to cultivate coachability. And consistent nurturing by said village of coaching readiness, agency and self-efficacy.
Reclaim the joy you glean from coaching by being more demanding in the screening for and enhancement of coachability.
Learning objectives:
- Define coaching readiness and coachability and their significance
- Identify the stages of the thinker’s experience where coaching readiness and coachability are important
- Identify the role of the stakeholders who play a part in screening for coaching readiness
- Enhance your compatibility call with coaching readiness in mind
- Scrutinise your own coachability
