In this week's episode we are talking about something we get asked about a lot in our group, whether or not to give homework to your clients. This can be individual to each coach and we would love to bring to you some thoughts around this topic and what impacts it might have.   We discuss: what actually is homework? the difference between coach set homework and client chosen homework how we can support out coachees to achieve their coaching outcomes when it might be appropriate to give homework the importance of contracting and boundaries how you can bring curiosity to sessions where homework has not been completed what are some of the pitfalls around assigning homework Assigning homework will always be a personal choice for each coach and may well only be relevant to some clients. In general though we ask you to consider what the reasons are for assigning homework and whose outcomes do they truly meet. As a coach it's important to be clear and purposeful when we ask our clients to take actions. How have you explored the idea of giving homework and how effective have you found it to be?

In today’s episode we are talking about how you can structure your coaching conversations. One of the reasons we’re talking about this today is that when people start coaching they want to learn tools and structures and as you develop as a coach you might start to think about what you can and can’t say to your clients in your sessions.   We talk about: What makes a coaching conversation different from a normal conversation? What structures are available to you? The unlearning process when practising coaching conversations as an established coach Can intuition play a role in coaching conversations What is the difference between coaching the story and coaching the person How to have solution and future focussed conversations Coaching conversations develop over time and having a structure ensures that you and your client have a container that feels safe. We would love to hear what conversation structures you use and how you keep the discipline of holding your coaching conversations in the place they need to be.    Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09XG1SJWC Resources Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/ Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram https://instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

In this week's episode we are talking about coaching perfectionism. The word perfectionist is a label we give to ourselves and it can see our coachees putting pressure on themselves to deliver a perfect result. Sometimes a coachee might know that it is perfectionism that needs to be explored and others might have no awareness. So let's start to highlight this issue that can show up in our coaching sessions.  We discuss: how perfectionism can show up in someone  how as a coach you can spot signs of perfectionism in your coachee what might a coachee say to indicate they are a perfectionist? are there elements of strength within perfectionism where the need to be perfect derives from what is the purpose of the perfect driver and how can your client find other ways to meet that need? the impact it can have on work and personal relationships    We may not be able to provide you with a series of tools to work with a coachee who is a perfectionist but we are able to raise your awareness of how it might show up in your coachee. In reality being present with your coachee and enabling them to discover their own solutions is the most effective way to support your coachee with perfectionism.    Link to purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09XG1SJWC Resources Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/ Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram https://instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

In this week's episode we are discussing how you can build your confidence as a coach. We know that it can be something new coaches struggle with as we have been there ourselves and we hear it from our trainee coaches.  We will discuss: the transition from feeling like an expert in your field which builds your confidence to being a coach drawing on a different set of skills the idea that you don’t need to be the expert as a coach the worry new coaches have about wondering what question they should ask next in a coaching session not needing to have planned out your whole client session that it is supportive to sit in discomfort and the feeling of not knowing with your client  what preparation can you do? the tools that are powerful for coaches such as reflection, CPD opportunities and supervision how can perfectionism impact confidence levels? It is a normal and natural process as you grow in to a new role as a coach that you find ways to develop your confidence. Sometimes we need to look for the evidence that tells us we are developing confidence to support further growth. With practice, support and clarity you can build your confidence.  Link to purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09XG1SJWC Resources Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/ Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram https://instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach
