Coaching draws on insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology and education to inform its practice. Ideas can also come from applied studies - such as health coaching, finance coaching, and executive development. Committed coaches keep ‘up to date’ through CPD, but with so many fields to monitor this can be a challenge. Many coaches don't have access to academic literature, let alone the time to scan such a broad range of topics. This one-day event helps bridge this gap.
Currently, four key areas will be explored: the qualities of the coach, improving the coaching process, the coaching relationship and the nature of the client. We will adapt the programme if new themes emerge.
During the day, participants will review a dozen pre-selected references, pool their interpretations and relate these findings to their own coaching practices. Rather than passive lectures, this is an opportunity to learn from a diverse group of practitioners and dig into published evidence together.
Please note: this event will close to enrolments at 23:59 BST on 8 May 2024.
