It’s listeners’ questions time again, and thank you for sending yours, and thank you again to those listeners who have taken the time to get in touch to tell us how much they enjoy listening to our podcast.

In this episode we have been asked what to consider when choosing a coach training course and, once you’ve completed your coach training, where to look for good CPD opportunities.

We love to receive your questions about coaching so do keep sending them to us.

Values are an important aspect of coaching and integral to increasing a coachee’s self awareness and sense of identity.

When responding to questions about values a coachee may not be able to tell their coach instantly what their own values are. It may take some reflection of them to come up with them. Their values may not become apparent until they are challenged or trampled on. Alternatively, they may be keenly aware of their most important values and actively seek to live a life aligned with them.

We know that working with a coachee around understanding what their values are and how they are showing up in their life, can have a dramatic impact on their views of the world, and themselves, as well as the coaching outcomes they achieve.

In this episode we explore what values are, why they’re important, and how to work with them in the coaching room.

It’s easy to think that everyone views the world in the same way that we do. Understanding that people have different aspects to their personality that might mean they think or behave in a different way is essential in gaining perspective on situations and relationships.

In this episode we explore the psychology behind a number of psychometrics that may prove useful in the coaching room. Asking a coachee to complete a personality questionnaire and then working through their report with them can be a great way to increase their self-awareness and also their awareness of the individual personality differences that others might have.

Tom has a degree in psychology and is trained in a number of different psychometric profiling tools so is well placed to steer this discussion and help us to gain some new insights about the topic.

We sometimes get asked if we teach NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) on our Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma and the answer is mostly no, and also, a little bit, yes. For this reason we thought it would be useful to have a conversation about it on our podcast.

We are both trained and licensed NLP practitioners, and although we gained something from our training, neither of us actually practise NLP.

We do, however, weave some of our learning into our individual ways of working and include some elements that you might find on an NLP course in our own training, although we credit the original source of those elements which, more often than not, is not NLP.

In this episode we explore what NLP is; its limitations; its uses in the coaching room; and, as always, our own thoughts on the subject. approach within our programmes.

As coaches we are having conversations that matter, and discussing topics that are important to our coachees. With any conversations of importance thought is required around how we hold that space for our coachees and how we show up as coaches. Coaching is an unregulated industry and it therefore falls to coaching bodies to try to ensure that its members act with professionalism, integrity and an ethical approach.

In this episode we explore the subject of ethics and what an ethical approach might look like to coaches within their own practice. We make reference to the Global Code of Ethics, which many coaching organisations are signed up to. The code offers some guidance to ethical considerations that coachees might be grappling with.

From time to time we devote an episode to questions about coaching that have been asked by our listeners. And this episode is one of those, with a difference.

We have been saving up some of the more personal questions that have been sent in and you can join us to find out a little bit more about us as coaches, including our biggest frustrations about coaching, what brings us joy, what inspired us to be coaches, books we are reading, and we talk a bit about using psychometric testing in the coaching room.

If you have a question to ask about coaching and would like us to answer it for you on the podcast, do send us your questions, or even drop us a voice note of your question, and we’ll feature it on a future episode.

On our podcast we regularly explore topics that coachees might bring to a coaching conversation.

One such topic is ‘Wellbeing’. In the last 10 years, Wellbeing has become a huge topic for discussion in many settings, including workplaces, schools and GP practices.

Wellbeing is a hugely diverse topic with many different elements and meanings assigned to it. So, whether you consider yourself a wellbeing coach or not, you are likely to come across clients who want to explore it in some way as a topic for coaching.

Join us as we discuss what wellbeing is, or could be, and how you might explore it with a client in the coaching room.

And, once you’ve listened, if this conversation has whetted your appetite for further exploration of Wellbeing in Coaching, then book yourself a place to join us at our Wellbeing Virtual Conference in October, when we will be running five different workshops around different aspects of wellbeing. You can book your place by clicking on this link. Conference Booking
