Pre-Work

During the programme we will be practicing coaching one another.  It is difficult to ‘role play’ a coaching session in a virtual environment.  But come to the sessions having identified some areas where you would like to receive some coaching/help with thinking things through.  Here are some ideas of the type of situation you might identify.  You will need to feel comfortable sharing the issue with your coach and an observer – and to facilitate this we contract about confidentiality at the start of the coaching web workshop programme:

  • A difficult relationship at work
  • A project or a task where you feel stuck
  • A career decision you need to make – or an issue about your career which you would like to explore
  • A task you have been dreading
  • A piece of difficult feedback you need to give to someone
  • Someone who works for you who you have not quite fathomed out – or who you have a more challenging relationship with
  • Reflecting on why a process/procedure is not working very well
  • A difficulty or dilemma which you face at home
  • Something you feel demotivated about

Guidance notes and will be provided to support this workshop and certificates of attendance are awarded after the workshop.
