‘Have you ever had anyone cry in the coaching session?’
Listen to the Coaching Cafe podcasts
The answer is yes, it does happen.
Not too often.
But whether it is disappointment, frustration, anger. Or alternatively joy, relief or enthusiasm. In our coaching practice in the workplace, we need to be aware of how to manage strong emotions, in our coachees and in ourselves.
This topic concludes our series exploring real workplace coaching scenarios. Throughout these conversations we explore the role of coaching, coaching principles and ICF Core Competencies and great coaching questions.
In this Coaching Café we focus on an important topic – managing strong emotions in coaching and reflect on how to hold the space for the coachee and for ourselves.
The topic is often raised in our coaching programs and it is featured also in the ICF Core Competencies – see 4. Cultivates Trust and Safety and 5. Maintains Presence .
In particular: how do we ensure an authentic expression of empathy or other emotions during the coaching conversation.
