The Coaching Inn

Claire Pedrick MCC and Alice Sheldon in conversation about conversations and Alice's book: Why weren't we taught THIS at school - the surprisingly simple secret to transforming life's challenges. Drawing on the work of Marshall Rosenburg's Non Violent Communication, Alice's work is all about having better conversations! Takeaways Alice's book addresses the gap in education about human needs. The writing process can be collaborative and not solitary. Understanding needs can lead to better empathy and solutions. Values conflicts in organizations can be deeply personal. Parenting triggers can reveal our own unmet needs. Family of origin influences our emotional responses. Coaching can benefit from understanding needs frameworks. Compassionate leadership can change organizational culture. Mediating conflict requires understanding underlying needs. Practical tools can empower individuals to create change.

Claire Pedrick MCC talks with coach Nathan Whitbread about coaching, neurodiversity and intersectionality in the workplace. They discuss the importance of recognising and embracing different thinking styles and the needs of individuals with neurodivergent conditions. Nathan shares his personal journey of discovering his dyslexia diagnosis and how coaching and support have made a significant difference in his life. They explore the role of coaching in enabling individuals to recognize their own strengths and navigate their challenges. The conversation emphasizes the value of authenticity, noticing, and creating a safe space for individuals to explore and express themselves.   "Coaching is all about enabling individuals to participate and be the very best they can be."   Contact Nathan through https://theneurodivergentcoach.co.uk/   Takeaways Neurodiversity encompasses different thinking styles and conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, and autism, as well as acquired neurodiversity like PTSD and migraines. Recognizing and embracing neurodiversity in the workplace is important for creating an inclusive and supportive environment. Coaching plays a crucial role in enabling individuals to recognize their strengths, navigate their challenges, and bring their best selves to work.

Today Claire is talking with Barbara MacNish and Sandra Thompson. They emailed info@3dcoaching.com with a question: "Since completing the Transforming Conversations training earlier this year a group of us have continued to practice together on Thursdays once a month. We've re-practised all sorts of the tools you introduced us to on the course. In October's session we tried out "matching for rapport and contrasting for change" - we had a good laugh and discovered some great truths but felt that we would really benefit from another go and if possible, even a demo showing us how it's done." So we said come to The Coaching Inn and let’s talk…   We discuss the importance of trust, invitation, and the musicality of coaching. The conversation highlights the power of small actions and the need to be conscious of the impact of mismatching and the value of practicing these techniques and the potential for growth and transformation.   Some links Barbara MacNish Sandra Thompson Contact the office if you've done 3D's Transforming Conversations or Building a Coaching Culture and we will send you an invitation to practice sessions.
