Mastering the Coach Approach

Whether you’re a parent, a manager, a leader, or thinking of starting a career in coaching, Mastering the Coach Approach introduces a way of communicating that can transform a life, a team, an organisation – even your family.

What is the Coach Approach and why do you want to master it?

The essence of The Coach Approach is being able to unlock the talent, ability and passion that people have within them.

This is what people pay a coach to do – but you don’t have to be a coach to do it. Good coaching skills can be learned and applied by anyone.

The Coach Approach is great for anyone looking to learn the fundamental principles and communication techniques that go into getting the best results out of individuals. But it’s also ideal for those seeking to take their first steps toward achieving ICF coaching certification.

Major change happens at the level of identity, beliefs and values. However, many conventionally trained coaches find it challenging to operate at these levels. Nor are they alone: the majority of organisations are only able to talk about ‘winning hearts and minds’. Very few know how to actually do this.

In this Integrating Coaching Presence & Purpose module we show you how to blend the wisdom of the different approaches you have learnt on this programme so that you can actually engage the hearts and minds not just of individuals but also of teams and even organisations.

• How to apply the Coach Approach at an identity level.

• Recognise the role of bias – both yours and others – and how to address it’s impact to enhance your coachng and the results you are achieving.

• Explore personal and system cultures, and the influence the Coach Approach can have on these.

• Learn and apply key distinctions in remdedial and generative coaching.

• Recognising the importance of legacy as a focus for the Coach Approach.

• Develop the self-as-coach with a focus on reason, purpose, vision and mission.

This is truly your integration module. It is also the precursor and prerequisite for official certification as a graduate of this ICF Accredited Coach Training Programme.

• Review how the different approaches learned in previous modules fit seamlessley together.
