Some coaches are more comfortable with addressing relationship issues with coachees than others, but the topic is bound to come up eventually in the coaching room.    Whether it’s managing a tricky relationship at work, or navigating our communication with those around us, relationships will surface in the coaching room and it’s useful to think about how we will handle them as a coach.    We are all social creatures and none of us live in isolation. Our coachee’s relationships are an enduring feature of their life journey and they are going to hit some bumps in the road. As coaches it is important that we recognise that being able to hold the space for coachees as they discuss their relationships is an essential part of our role in working holistically.   In this episode we discuss what coaches might choose to do when relationships are at the centre of a coaching conversation.     Enjoy the podcast?

Following on from our last episode on Transactional Analysis, this episode focuses on the key model from the Transactional Analysis approach to coaching; the Parent – Adult – Child Model. This is a model that will help us, as coaches, to understand the ego states that our coachee might be entering into at certain times during interactions with others. It may also help us to talk to coachees about whether they are responding in an adult way to the here and now or are drawing on old, learned, patterns of response. In addition, using the Parent - Adult – Child model might allow coachees to gain a different perspective on the behaviour of those that they interact with.    In this episode we look at the model in more detail and discuss how and when you might introduce it your clients.   Resources:   Enjoy the podcast?

Transactional Analysis is a psychological theory that can help us to understand and explore human interactions and relationships.   In this episode we explore, what it is, where it comes from, and how it can be a useful approach to use in the coaching room. We also share two models, The Parent - Adult - Child model, and the Drama Triangle, that might prove useful in the coaching room. Both models can be introduced to coachees to encourage them to reflect on their relationships and to allow them to gain new perspectives around the ways that their interactions with others play out.    Resources:     Enjoy the podcast?

We will regularly be devoting a podcast episode to discussing some widely held coaching beliefs, common coaching practices and coaching challenges that are often pondered and debated.   Today we are talking about challenging our coachees. Coaching is a supportive space and we engage with our coachees with empathy and positive regard. So, what place does challenge have in the coaching room? Should we ever challenge our coachees? If we do challenge them, what might we challenge them about and how might we go about doing that. What are some of the potential risks of challenging a coachee?   Join us to find out what we think and once you’ve listened in let us know your own thoughts.    Enjoy the podcast?

Mindset is a term regularly used within coaching but what exactly is it? How might we encourage someone to reflect on their own mindset in the coaching room? How might we work with coachees to adapt fixed ways they have of thinking about certain areas of their life and allow them to develop and grow.    In this episode we explore the work of Carol Dweck and her Growth Mindset theory. Complete with a brief example of a coaching conversation around a mindset issue, we think you’ll enjoy this episode and hope that it will provide you with some food for thought.    Enjoy the podcast?

Resilience is a favourite topic of Tom’s. So much so, he has explored, researched, taught, and written about resilience for a number of years now. So, what better person to ask about how we might explore resilience, or a perceived lack of resilience, when our clients start discussing it in the coaching room? In this episode we explore the various forms that resilience might take; what it might look like; what the factors are that will be influencing the resilience of our coachees; and how we might help our coachees maintain or replenish their resilience through good times and bad.  Tom will also be sharing his own TELEGRAM model of resilience with us.      Resources: You can access more information about the model here:   https://yourcoachingjourney.com/the-telegram-model-of-resilience/ Or for a comprehensive guide to resilience in all its forms you might wish to purchase Tom’s book: Agile Resilience: The Psychology of Developing Resilience In The Workplace.  You can order the book here: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/products/   Enjoy the podcast?
