Online Training: Thinking Partnership Coaching Demonstration

ONLINE TRAINING: THINKING PARTNERSHIP COACHING DEMONSTRATION

The 40-Minute Coaching Demo That Will Ignite Your Coaching Sessions and Increase Your Clients’ Success
One of the greatest frustrations as a coach is seeing your clients NOT implementing the actions or trying out new behaviours they have agreed on during your coaching meeting.
The clients we have clearly want to generate successful results in their work and life and they’re willing to pay you to help them get there, but studies have shown that coaches’ biggest bug-bear is lack of true commitment.

In other words, not giving proper time, thought and mental determination to putting in place the plan they have designed, with your support, and often falling at the first sign of things getting difficult or inconvenient.

 

Why is this?
You finish a meeting with your client, they have a clear plan of action or behaviour experimentation that they will take. They are motivated, enthused and ready to get work and then – somewhere between that time and when you next speak – that enthusiasm waned, life came in and they did not do what they said they would do.
It’s frustrating for us because we know the results that our clients can get and the problems they can solve when they do commit and follow through.
In my thousands of hours of experience as a coach, I would say that it’s not actually so much a lack of commitment, but a lack of OWNERSHIP for the solution.
When we begin our journey as a coach, we want to be of value to our client. We may think this means we need to contribute our own ideas, solutions and suggestions in service of our client and that makes us feel we are making a valuable contribution.  This is however a paradox.
If we find ourselves giving advice, this can actually take the power out of the coaching process and leave our clients only temporarily motivated, with a solution or way of doing things that, deep-down, they know is not the best for them and does not utilise their best skills or highest area of work and enjoyment. In other words, they have not owned their own solution and outcome.

 

A much better way of coaching is by getting right to the heart of the things that they are ‘stuck’ with and gently guiding them to think about and articulate their challenges and come up with their own best solutions. That is where TRUE ownership, responsibility, sustained motivation and follow-through is generated.

One of the very best ways of getting our clients to think for themselves in a high quality way is by being a Thinking Environment® and employing a Thinking Partnership framework, where they feel truly heard, understood and valued and have the time and space to decide on their own best solutions. Offering a Thinking Partnership framework creates the opportunity for our clients to uncover what is stopping them achieve what they want and create new ways of moving forward.

 

The Thinking Environment is based upon the observation that ‘the quality of everything we, as human beings do, depends upon the quality of the thinking we do first’. This was so beautifully identified over 30 years ago by Nancy Kline, who is the best-selling author of three books, founder of the Time To Think leadership and coaching consultancy and a most wonderful teacher.

 

A Thinking Partnership is created when you coach your client in a Thinking Environment, where you are intently interested in engaging their best thinking to generate their best decision-making.

Your Powerful Coaching Secret Weapon

I have created a concise and powerful video training where I walk you through a live demonstration of a Thinking Partnership coaching session with a real-life client and a real-life problem.

In the video you’ll see how to best go through the framework and the way my client quickly got to higher thinking and coming up with her own best solution. If you have not yet attended the Thinking Partnership programme, this video highlights what you will be able to master and deliver for your clients after the training.  If you have already attended the programme with me, this video will help you contract effectively with your client, navigate the framework through each part and be a valuable reference to return to.

Clients report that a Thinking Partnership is amazingly helpful and effective in creating breakthroughs in their thinking and in getting them ‘unstuck’ from a challenge that they may have been experiencing for some time.
