Coaching Café
FREE Coaching Webinars With ICF CCE’S
Check out our blogs and podcasts on building engagement in the workplace.
Developing a coaching mindset is a key outcome of all coaching programs. We want people to walk out of coach training program having developed a coaching mindset…or least being open to a coaching mindset or on their way. And it’s not something that is a given, or that we can take for granted. Nor is coaching mindset fully understood, hence Natalie including it as part of her Doctorate studies.
Therefore, building on our theme of exploring the ‘ICF Core Competencies’, this week in the Coaching Café join Natalie and Paula as we discuss ‘Embodies a Coaching Mindset’. We will look at what it means from a competency point of view, but also discuss things that might get in the way of a coaching mindset.
CCE Hours – 0.5 hours Core Competency
We know that every coaching session needs to include the question ‘what do you want to achieve?’ (or some form of that question). We are taught that from day one of our coaching education. And from an ICF Core Competency perspective it is a critical part of establishing the coaching agreement. But we also know there’s more to establishing and maintaining a coaching agreement than just this question.
Therefore, building on our theme of exploring the ‘ICF Core Competencies’, this week in the Coaching Café join Natalie and Paula as we discuss ‘Establishes and Maintains Agreements’.
We will look at what it means from a competency point of view, but also provide some pertinent reminders about inserting certain questions into the coaching conversation to meet this competency.

International Coach Week gives us an opportunity to reflect on ourselves as coaches and on our workplace coaching practice. And one of the best ways to do this is to listen to great coaching. In fact, one of the most popular requests we receive is for coaching demonstrations; in particular for PCC or MCC level coaching.
Therefore, join us for this very special presentation as we listen to coaching by Brigitte Calvert our Learning and Development Manager, and have the opportunity to debrief and ask questions. We will do this through the lens of the ICF Core Competencies and this is a coaching demonstration that will open your eyes to what it really means to explore, evoke awareness and partner with a client. We guarantee some of the questions that Brigitte asks in the moment with intuition will really leave you saying ‘wow’.
