Mechanics of the Mind; How To Accelerate Change By Using What’s Already There
with Brian Costello
Although every one of us is wonderfully unique, every one of us shares a common system for making decisions in our lives. This decision making ‘mechanism’ is deceptively simple but, as naturally gifted helpers, it’s easy for us coaches to get so involved in helping people find solutions to life’s mysteries that we miss the clues this mechanism gives us. Clues which can produce incredible change at incredible speed. In this fascinating and entertaining session, Brian Costello will reveal the Mind mechanics you can use to help people transform.

The Grey Space in Coaching
with Lauretta Cundy
Little is known about the lived experience of how coaches navigate ethical and boundary issues when working with a coachee on stress management or when a coachee presents that they have or may be having a mental health issue. I surmise that this is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, with much being left to the coach’s discernment. This research is to collaboratively explore the differences and similarities relating to how coaches navigate the grey space.
The session will be focused on sharing PhD research preliminary findings, around how coaches are managing this space, to better inform practice. In addition, a practical element is included in this session. Sharing some reflective and reflexive exercises for coaches to implement into their own coaching practices.
