Coaching Conversations – A framework for focusing on solutions over problems to impact performance - CANCELLED
- Having a ‘coaching’ conversations rather than a ‘telling’ conversations
- Identify what works and doing more if it
- Stop doing what doesn’t work and doing something different
- Focus on solutions not problems
- Engaging motivation of the people you lead to change
- Suitable for anyone who has leadership responsibilities
The leader is often expected to be the font of all knowledge, to know all of the answers about how to move forward. Leaders who fall into this expectation trap inadvertently create dependency and ultimately a culture that stifles growth. This course will help you to start having a different type of conversation in school, one which doesn’t assume you need to be an expert, and one which helps to grow the capability of people to think differently and engage in their own solutions.
This course will provide you with the opportunity to recognise what it means to be a great coach, to learn some of the skills of great coaching, and to start having some coaching conversations. We will take this learning further by exploring motivational factors that block progress; how to utilise expertise in your coaching conversations; how to use Ericksonian principles of utilisation/resources in creating change; how to coach with curiosity around difficult issues (e.g., underperformance); and finally how to grow a culture of coaching within the day to day school practice.
