Take a look at what Rafal Szaniawski has to say about the ‘ripple effect’ of coaching on people’s lives, and why he believes it is a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, identify and overcome whatever is holding them back: https://lnkd.in/gXpQHrh6 #InternationalCoachingWeek #ICW2024 #ProfessionalCoaching

Continuing my posts for International Coaching Week these are the core principles of coaching. Effective coaching is built on a foundation of several key principles that guide interactions and facilitate growth and achievement. These principles include active listening, empathy, and goal-setting, each playing a vital role in the coaching process. Active Listening goes beyond merely hearing words. It involves fully concentrating on the speaker, understanding their message, responding thoughtfully, and remembering key points. This level of engagement helps coaches gain true insight into a client’s thoughts and feelings, which is crucial for effective guidance. Empathy in coaching means genuinely understanding and sharing another person's feelings, which establishes a deep trust and connection. This connection enables a coach to tailor their approach more effectively to their client's individual needs and emotions. Effective coaching is directed towards clear, achievable goals. Coaches work with clients to define these goals, providing direction and measuring progress. This principle ensures that the coaching relationship maintains its focus and leads to meaningful outcomes. Incorporating insights from positive psychology can reinforce these principles by emphasising strengths, resilience, and the potential for personal growth. By focusing on what clients are doing well and where they can use their strengths to overcome challenges, coaches can foster a more positive, forward-thinking mindset that encourages continual progress and fulfilment.

Developing Confidence in your Coaching... it's interesting that one of the most common goals we work on with our clients is developing their confidence... and as coaches most of us struggle with confidence from time to time... being human n'all ! Building confidence in your coaching skills is vital for both our own growth and client success. Confidence in your coaching doesn’t just mean believing in your ability to help others—it’s about trusting your process, maintaining presence, and creating a safe space for your clients to explore and grow. When you are confident, your clients sense it, which encourages them to trust the process as well. But what does confidence really mean in coaching? It’s not about having all of (or any of) the answers or always being in control of the conversation. Instead, it’s about having faith in the coaching relationship, knowing that the process will lead to the some insights, even if you don’t have an immediate solution. It’s about being comfortable in the unknown, being able to experiment with different approaches and allowing your client to do the same. Of course, if you’re too confident, it’s easy to fall into the trap of assuming you know what’s best for your client, or that your way is the only way. This mindset can stifle growth and limit possibilities, both for you and your client. In coaching, it’s crucial to remain open and curious—to be at your learning edge. You don’t need to have any answers, but to help your client find their solutions.

As I'm getting ready to jump into a new 5-month journey of accompanying a group of coaches towards their mastery of this craft in our Foundation Diploma in Developmental Coaching, I've been reflecting at what is it exactly, that makes coaching 'developmental'? I think developmental coaching is not a completely separate school of thought in the field of coaching, but in many ways it is an opportunity (and invitation) to both grow ourselves as coaches very consciously and take our practice to whole new levels of depth by learning from and utilising what happens in and 'in-between' us and our clients. And I think we can do that in very concrete ways, three of which I explore in this article. I'm very curious what your experiences are. https://lnkd.in/gBcFrZGs? #developmentalcoaching #verticaldevelopment #coaching
