Your Coaching Journey

Following on from our podcast episode about Positive Psychology (Episode 25) we thought it would be helpful to introduce you to a model created by Martin Seligman, the grandfather of Positive Psychology; The PERMA Model   Since its original creation PERMA has been expanded by other positive psychologists to create the PERMAH model, and in this episode we’ll be exploring a tool based on this model; The PERMAH Wheel.   If you’re looking for a way to help your clients feel more content with their lives; have a sense of subjective wellbeing; improve their relationships; find more meaning in their life and work and focus on improving their health, this is a great tool.   Resources: You can download your PERMA Wheel PDF here.   Enjoy the podcast?

Positive Psychology is a relatively new branch of psychology and is underpinned by a vast body of research studies. It is a huge topic, so in this episode we will be starting at the beginning and offering an introduction to positive psychology and its relationship to coaching. We’ll also be exploring three important elements of positive psychology; positive emotions; working with strengths; and the concept of flow, all of which have their place in coaching conversations.    Resources: For a free online strengths profile visit: https://www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths-via    For Tom’s Strengths & Values Coaching cards take a look here: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/products/   Enjoy the podcast?

We will regularly be devoting a podcast episode to discussing some widely held coaching beliefs, common coaching practices and coaching challenges that are often pondered and debated.   Accountability is often something that is referred to by coachees as a reason for having coaching; so their coach can be their accountability partner and hold them to account. In this episode we will be exploring accountability and whether it is the role of a coach to hold their coachee to account, or whether they should be demonstrating their support in other ways.      Enjoy the podcast?

Resilience is a favourite topic of Tom’s. So much so, he has explored, researched, taught, and written about resilience for a number of years now. So, what better person to ask about how we might explore resilience, or a perceived lack of resilience, when our clients start discussing it in the coaching room? In this episode we explore the various forms that resilience might take; what it might look like; what the factors are that will be influencing the resilience of our coachees; and how we might help our coachees maintain or replenish their resilience through good times and bad.  Tom will also be sharing his own TELEGRAM model of resilience with us.      Resources: You can access more information about the model here:   https://yourcoachingjourney.com/the-telegram-model-of-resilience/ Or for a comprehensive guide to resilience in all its forms you might wish to purchase Tom’s book: Agile Resilience: The Psychology of Developing Resilience In The Workplace.  You can order the book here: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/products/   Enjoy the podcast?

Whether we view tension within a work or social relationship as conflict, or just the other person being awkward, we will all have our own way of approaching these potentially difficult situations. In this episode we explore how you might help your coachees to understand their approach to difficult situations with others.      A great tool to use when discussing conflict styles with your coachees is the Conflict Styles Matrix, which stems from the work of Thomas and Kilmann.   We’ll also look at how a coachee might flex their own conflict styles in different situations and how this might lead to them experiencing more positive outcomes. Resources: Find out more about the 5 conflict styles in our blogpost:  https://www.yourcoachingjourney.com/understanding-conflict-styles/ Here's an illustration of where they sit in terms of cooperation and assertiveness:     Enjoy the podcast?

In this episode we will be talking about an intervention that represents a bridge between medical consultations and the coaching world: Motivational Interviewing (MI).    MI is a technique that most medical professionals will have some awareness of, as it has its origins in the treatment of alcohol addiction.    We’ll be exploring what it is; what are the potential benefits; and how it might be seen as a step towards taking a coaching approach to behaviour change. We’ll also be discussing MI’s limitations and how it might be improved upon or integrated with other coaching approaches.    Enjoy the podcast?

We will regularly be devoting a podcast episode to discussing some  widely held coaching beliefs, common coaching practices and coaching challenges that are often pondered and debated. In this episode we will be exploring emotions, and asking the question, Do they belong in the coaching room? Some people worry about what to do when a coachee becomes emotional, or have concerns that it might a need for therapy, but we believe that emotions will always be present in the coaching room. So, what can you do to prepare for times when emotions bubble to the surface, and how might you handle emotions when they show up in the coaching space?
