One Day Training
This experiential masterclass introduces coaches to chairwork and the ‘Dialogical Coaching’ approach.
Most approaches to coaching are dominated by questions and discussions. However, theories of cognitive science and adult learning indicate that discussion alone brings about only limited changes in thinking, feeling, behaviour, and performance. Experiential coaching methods, on the other hand, offer a new and high-impact approach to personal and professional development.
The first of its kind, this half-day masterclass will introduce coaches to the science, practice, and real-world applications of chairwork and ‘Dialogical Coaching’ (Pugh & Broome, 2020). Attendees will learn, observe, and experience some of the ways in that action-based methods can ignite coaching sessions and inspire clients. Time will also be dedicated to the exploring the theory and practice of ‘single session chairwork’.
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
… Understand the core forms of chairwork used by coaches
… Know when, why, and how to use chairwork in coaching
… Experience chairwork from the inside-out through self-practice exercises
… Observe live demonstrations of chairwork applied to common coaching issues
This experiential and practice-focused workshop will use a combination of teaching, self-practice, live demonstrations, and real-world case illustrations.
