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.

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

Back in episode 30 we spoke about using Transactional Analysis (TA) in the coaching room, and in episode 31 we explored one of the TA models, the Parent-Adult-Child model.

Another coaching model that originates from TA is Karpman’s Drama Triangle, so we thought it was time we introduced this model to you as well.

The Drama Triangle offers another way to explore the coachee’s perception of their inter-personal relationship dynamics and behaviour patterns. It is an extremely useful model to be aware of as a coach, and to introduce to your coachee to help raise awareness about their view of their situation.

It is useful to demonstrate some caution when using the model in the coaching room, but it is a great way of helping the coachee gain a new perspective on the roles they’re playing in their relationships.

In this episode we explore the Drama Triangle and how we might use it to its full advantage in the coaching room.

Our bodies provide the perfect vessel in which to hold our stress and we will feel all sorts of indications that this is happening for us when we’re in struggle. But our bodies also offer us some insights into what else is going on for us. Somatic markers provide us with information that we will often ignore when it would be wise to be mindful of them. While we might not choose to act on a gut feeling, noticing what we notice about our physiological sensations can become an important part of our decision making process, and can be so too for our coachees.

In this episode we take a look at somatic coaching, or embodied coaching, in which coachees are encouraged to go within, to the wisdom held in their own body.

Somatic coaching can be practised on its own, or as part of an integrative approach, to great effect.

Listen in to this episode of the Your Coaching Journey podcast for some ideas on how you could use somatic coaching with your coachees and how that might improve their outcomes for them.

What is coaching supervision and why would I want to engage with it as a coach?

Coaching is an unregulated industry and, as we have discussed on previous episodes, it is down to coaching bodies and individual coaches to take responsibility for the professionalism and self-regulation of coaching as a whole.

Coaching supervision is one way of helping you as a coach to reflect on the quality of your coaching, your own professional development and your progress in the world of coaching. Coaching supervision is a protected space for confidential and supportive conversations about your role as a coach and your interactions with coachees.

Join us in this episode to find out more about supervision, why you might want to engage with it, and what the practice of receiving supervision entails.
