Susan Masterson MBACP’s Post

Don’t take it from me.   See what our EMCC Global Practitioner Award in Coaching participants have to say about their experience of our programme…   “I have learnt so much! Love the combination of information and practice in such a lovely and supportive environment.”   “Deep thinking and new learning about myself as much as the client. Excellent facilitation! Feel like I've been on a massive self-learning journey already. Learning so much and loving it!”   “The Learning has been HUGE! As I started my own business at the beginning of the programme, this has offered a huge amount of support.”   “Supportive group. Confidential place to practice in a non-judgemental way. Could drill down on issues that have arisen with an experienced coach.”   You see, we’re different in the way we train you to coach. We’re passionate about coaches understanding themselves in the coaching room and beyond as much as coaching techniques, theories, and the psychology of coaching. Why? Coaching is all about the relationship and it’s pretty hard to be in relationship with your client if you don’t understand how your stories might affect and hold back the potential in the relationship. So, we teach our participants to work relationally and use their whole self to help the client move forward.

Why do I keep censoring myself? I do the work, I get the ideas, I write the drafts, I think it through... and then... I don't share the idea, I don't send the email, I don't speak up in the meeting, I don't post the thing. I know I'd get more opportunities; I know others would benefit; I know I'd even widen my networks... So why don't I "JUST DO IT"? . Does this sound like you sometimes? . Well, that's where our coaching conversation started today. In this case, my client was stuck on the KNOWING island and desperately wanted to cross over to the DOING side. . I honestly believe every client is truly a creative genius. And as a coach, I get to hold up the mirror long enough for them to see themselves. . . Closer to the end of our conversation, they took a long pause then said, "For me, sharing needs to be done as the celebration of myself, the work I've done and the people I do it with. Not about how 'perfectly' I share." That's it. This mindset shift was the bridge they needed, and because it came from them, they were more motivated and committed to ACT on their next accountability steps. #Coaching #LifeCoaching #CareerCoaching #SelfAwareness #PersonalDevelopment #Reflection ...............................................................................

Choosing the right coach for you! With the UK coaching market estimated to be worth between £9-£10 billion and a supplementary training market worth between £600 to £700 million, the coaching and training industry is booming. With various types of coaches available, finding the right one can be overwhelming. In my field of executive and performance coaching in the workplace since 2001, the industry has seen exponential growth. Here are my 10 top tips for finding the ideal coach: - Ensure they are qualified in coaching. - Check their track record of experience and successes. - Assess their communication skills, including listening and providing constructive feedback. - Evaluate their interpersonal skills such as empathy and support. - Consider if they can inspire and motivate you. - Look for a personable coach who demonstrates mutual trust and respect. - Confirm their ability to maintain confidentiality and handle personal information responsibly. - Ensure they help you set clear, realistic goals and hold you accountable. - Check if they have the time and commitment you need. - Verify if their fees are transparent and align with your budget. Finding the right coach involves a thorough assessment of credentials, approach, communication skills, and personal connection. Take your time, ask questions, and have initial consultations with different coaches to find the best fit for your needs. #Coaching #ExecutiveCoaching #PerformanceCoaching #CareerDevelopment #WorkplaceWellness

One of the things I love about being on the coaching bench for several major companies is that I come to learn their language, their culture, their climate, their rhythms, and their shared challenges. This gives me insights that I can share with #HR (without breaking confidentiality) to help them understand what's happening with their people beyond what they already know. I am grateful to Ann Farrell, CPCC, PCC, MGSCC for leading the way in teaching #coaches like me to embrace "Going Organizational! How to build your business working directly with organizations".

🌟 Finding the Perfect Coach in a Sea of Options 🌟 With the market flooded with coaches, how do you pick the right one for you? 🤔 Here are some key considerations to help you decide: 🔍 First, Assess Your Needs: - Coaching or Advice? Coaching helps you find your own answers, while advising offers solutions from experience. Be clear on what you need and what the coach provides. - Type of Coaching: Career, leadership/executive, life, or health coaching? Each has its place and requires different training. Ensure the coach aligns with your specific needs. 🎓 Verify Coaching Experience, Education, and Credentials: - Experience: How long have they been coaching? What kind of clients do they typically work with? - Background: Real-world experience in your field can be invaluable, particularly if you're looking for a blend of advisory and coaching support. - References: A reputable coach should provide testimonials from past clients. - Training/Accreditation*: Check your company’s policies on coaching sponsorship, as many require formal education or accreditation. 💡 Understand Their Coaching Style: Every coach has a unique approach. Some are more directive, while others are facilitative. Ask potential coaches about their style and philosophy to ensure it matches your needs. 📚 Evaluate Their Commitment to Continuous Learning: The coaching industry is always evolving. Ask how they stay updated with the latest practices and tools, showing their commitment to professional growth. 🗓️ Schedule a Discovery Session: Most coaches offer a free initial consultation. Use this to gauge compatibility in terms of personality and approach. Pay attention to how well they listen, ask questions, and understand your goals. 🚨 Note: The International Coaching Federation is largest accreditation body in the world; coaches with their ACC, PCC, and MCC designations commit to practice in alignment with the ICF code of ethics and have demonstrated they meet the standards of the ICF core competencies. That being said, many excellent coaches choose not to pursue ICF accreditation to avoid administrative burdens. In general, I recommend focusing on coach training and experience over anything else.

If in a coaching conversation you have noticed emotions arising, emerging physical sensations, or thoughts/styles of thought, stimulated by what your client has said, or how they have said it, then you are experiencing countertransference. Ignored, these experiences will impact your engagement with your client negatively. This could take the form of perpetuating unhelpful dynamics within the client, between practitioner and client, and between client and their environment. Countertransference is often stigmatised in coaching, because it's a 'psychological' concept. Unavoidably, every interaction between people involves psychological phenomena. 'Demonstrates Ethical Practice' and 'Embodies a Coaching Mindset' are mandates for coaches to at least understand the presence of what is happening implicitly (psychologically) in the coaching relationship and if the content is best suited to coaching or other modalities. 'Evokes Awareness' offers a number of options for the coach to notice and actively respond to these phenomena, in a coaching way. If you are interested in deepening your work with your clients, using yourself as an instrument of insight and growth in the coaching relationship, 'ICF Core Competencies- A Relational Exploration’ is a supportive and developmental space to explore and develop. Learn how a relational approach empowers practitioners to use all the competencies with depth and meaning.

Attention Everyone! Currently enrolled in an ICF coaching certification program with Regal Coaching Consortium, and the journey has been truly transformative. The structured training is enriching, but the highlight is the reciprocal coaching format, where batch mates coach each other towards ACC certification. This reciprocal coaching is the icing on the cake, offering a unique opportunity to address various life issues like time management, holistic development, productivity, reading habits, relationships, and health. Through structured coaching conversations, I've found lasting solutions. Today, I'm more productive, health-focused, and have read two books in two months. These gains are significant after years of struggle. Experiencing coaching firsthand, I wholeheartedly recommend it for personal and professional growth. Whether fast-tracking your career, boosting engagement scores, or enhancing key employees' resourcefulness, integrating coaching into your strategy is the answer. You won't regret it! #Coaching #PersonalDevelopment #ICFCertification #RegalCoachingConsortium #LifeTransformation #Winteg
