  2. What is coaching? Creating the conditions for something new to come into being... • Requires that we slow down and bear uncertainty in order to create a future and respond flexibly • Is a joint discovery with the coach sitting alongside their client • Change happens in the room when the coach offers genuine openness, support, courage and curiosity

  3. Coaching works at three levels HEAD HEART WILL What do I understand? What do I feel? What do I intend to do?

  4. Powerful questions shift the nature of the future • What is the story I keep telling about the problems around here? What is my attachment to this story costing me? What is the crossroads I face at this stage in the game? How much risk am I willing to take? What is my contribution to the very thing I complain about? What are my doubts and reservations?

  5. How am I listening? Compassionately Seeing people as having: • Feelings • Needs • Values Attitude: Empathising “I am curious, want to understand their feelings, needs and values… and my own” Critically Seeing people as: • Hostile • Inadequate • Self-serving Attitude: Blaming • “They are wrong/ • difficult/naïve… or I am”

  6. A chance to practice In pairs decide who is the coach and who is the client Client tells a story about an unresolved issue involving themselves and another person Coach listens compassionately and asks powerful questions Coach feeds back - without judgment - what they are picking up about the client’s ‘feelings, needs and values’ Review what has changed for coach and client
