Coaching circles and practice groups invitation

Category: Coaching,Resource,site newsJen Waller @ 10:59 am

I know that there are coaching circles and practice groups running all over the world.

If you have never come across the term before then let me briefly explain, because the rest of this post will then make a lot more sense. :) A coaching circle or practice group is when a group of coaches meet, discuss and practice coaching. Some coaching circles are run by a particular coach training supplier others are open to all so have a mix of approaches and experience.

The structure of a meeting may vary but it is very common for a group to have an invited speaker. These groups can provide opportunities to explore and play with new ideas, develop existing skills as well as network and meet some lovely people.

For the last 24 hours I’ve been looking for a list of coaching circles and practice groups and have yet to find one. Now this could be me looking in the wrong place so if you know that one exists then do let me know.

I want Coaching Confidence to provide useful and quality information and resources. I think that having a list of contact information for coaching circles and practice groups fits into that brief. Somewhere that anyone who fancies attending a coaching circle or practice group can look and find their nearest group.

So this is my invitation:

If you run a coaching circle or practice group

I will happily link to your group. To do that please fill in the information as requested on this contact form.

If you know of coaching circle or practice group but do not run it

Please help me to grow a list as a resource to others by either asking the group leader to contact me or telling me about the group so I can invite them directly.

Time to Think

Category: Coaching,Resource,booksJen Waller @ 11:00 am

Today I wanted to write about another resource. I have shelves full of personal development and coaching related books, many that are superb. So picking the one to write about first is a challenge but one I have happily undertaken.


Time to Think by Nancy Kline

Time to Think by Nancy Kline

Time to Think by Nancy Kline , in my opinion, is a must read for coaches. (I also recommend her follow-up book More Time to Think, published last year.)

Time to Think is one of my favourite coaching books and I find it can also be a really powerful questioning technique. Yes, I know you may have covered questioning on any coaching training you’ve done but have you done it this way?

The book will take you through the whole process and how to craft a personalised question. It’ll be a unique question that when formed correctly really gets to the core of the situation allowing clarity and ease to follow.  I encourage you to use it for yourself in a specific context so that you can experience for yourself the impact it can have.

PS I’m very excited by the fact we have our first guest post starting next week, and the list is growing with a real mix of people who have agreed to write a post. I want a real mix of topics, opinions and approaches and certainly by those who have offered and agreed so far Friday posts are certainly going to provide that.

Keep visiting and watching the twitter feed for details about who is coming each week. :)

Hay House Radio

Category: Resource,audioJen Waller @ 4:59 am

Friday is the day on this site when the post is devoted to a guest author or is about a resource. I have an ever-growing list of guest posters scheduled, starting soon, that I am very excited about. However, this week I wanted to add a suggestion of a resource.

One of the ways that I have developed my own style of coaching is not only by doing lots of coaching but by seeing, hearing and experiencing other coaches work.

While there are different ways of coaches demonstrating their coaching skills, techniques and approaches using audio. Today I wanted to specifically mention the station Hay House Radio.

You may have heard of Hay House as a leading publisher of mainstream and self-improvement books, producer of lectures and workshops. Currently, they publish over 250 books and 300 audios by over 130 authors. You may have some of their books on your bookshelves.

Hay House also have a radio station, available online, where many of their top authors have call in shows. Via this station you can hear the likes of Michael Neill, Cheryl Richardson, Robert Holden work with callers (if you call in, maybe even yourself.)

It provides a great opportunity to hear how the coach incorporates many different aspects to quickly make a difference for their callers. As you listen you there may be questions that they ask or approaches they take that you wouldn’t have taken/thought of using. The option of listening again, available free for one week, will give you the opportunity to go back and listen to how and what the caller says and how that links into the coaches response.
