Episode #143: Art in Coaching
Your Coaching Journey
Coaching can take many forms and, for the most part, it will involve a conversation where the coach is focused on the coachee. However, sometimes it’s helpful for the coachee to draw their thoughts out on paper and for the focus in the coaching room to switch to what has been created. Focusing on the coachee’s artistic endeavours can reveal new insights and draw out aspects of a scenario that might never have surfaced in a normal coaching conversation. We’re strong advocates of using art in coaching. In this episode we discuss different ways in which we might support our coachees...

Episode #139: Coaching topic: Stress
Your Coaching Journey
Stress is a normal and natural response that we have all experienced in our lives. It’s also a phenomenon that frequently enters the coaching room. Coaching is often focused initially on problems that the coachee wishes to resolve, and that is a natural space for stress to show up. Coaching is also frequesntly concerned with change that the coachee wishes to see, and a time of change is definitely a point at which stress might appear. In this episode we are exploring the different aspects of stress, including why it can be useful, and when it’s really not. We will...

Episode #137: Reflection
Your Coaching Journey
Reflection is an essential aspect of any coaching practice and something that we actively encourage all of our students to do from the start of their coaching journeys. Coaching conversations happen in the moment and the emergent nature of them means that they could go in many directions. Where the conversation flows is dependent on the thinking of the coach and the coachee in real time. There is little time to reflect on what went well, what didn’t go so well and what might have been different. Engaging in some reflective practice will help any coach, whatever their...

info_outlineHaving different internal parts of our psyche has been provoking interest in great thinkers for thousands of years. The Greeks and the Romans had the theory of us all having different humours
Freud had his id, ego and superego, and psychologists ever since have been playing with different theories about the different parts that we may possess and how best to integrate them into our overall identity.
In this episode we explore what Parts Work is, the journey that it has travelled over the last 50 years and the different ways in which we might approach the concept.
Tom has been working with his own version of Parts Work for a decade now, so has an interest in shedding some light on the topic.
