Coaching Discipline: Presence and Self-Awareness

This is an opportunity to dial down the noise and distractions for what really matters to surface - about you as a coach, your coaching clients, your business, and our coaching ecosystem... #Intention #Identity #Agency #Business #CoachingCommunity

What are you sidestepping in shaping your coaching into a business? The Business of Being a Coach convenes across 4 sessions for practitioners prepared to scrutinise how they operate, not how they market. This UK ICF Series is not instruction in promotion. It is a disciplined examination of identity, responsibility, and the decisions shaping your practice. 💡What & How? 4 live 90-minute online sessions combining dialogue, coaching, and experimentation. Underpinned by the ICF Core Competencies, the Series explores: ▪ Identity in realtime - fees, boundaries, presence, voice ▪ Acting where delay has become familiar ▪ The tension between worth and value ▪ Decisions that missed, and what they reveal ▪ Your role in upholding the profession’s integrity Each session is complete in itself, with coherence across the whole. 🌻CCEUs awarded: 6.0 Core Competency 🌟Explore further detail in the carousel below. 🌟One registration secures access to all sessions and recordings.

I’m really pleased to be part of this UK ICF series and to share it with the UK coaching community. Being a professional coach is not only about what happens in the session. It is also about how we run our practice, the decisions we make, and how we lead the whole practice with integrity. The Business of Being a Coach is a 4-part series for coaches ready to examine the patterns, choices, boundaries, and responsibilities shaping their work behind the scenes. Because how we lead our practice matters. Register here: https://lnkd.in/eZ3Cr9Q4 #ICF #ICFUK #ProfessionalCoaching

Retention is rarely a coaching problem. It is a structure problem. You can deliver great sessions and still lose clients if the journey feels unclear, untracked, and open-ended. Clients stay when they can see where they are, what is changing, and what comes next. That is what turns short-term work into long-term commitment. #CoachingBusiness #CoachGrowth #ClientRetention #CoachingSystems #LifeCoachCommunity #CoachesConnect

The GROW model is one of the most effective coaching frameworks in business -- but most people use it wrong. They skip straight from Goal to Will. The fantasy to the action plan. And then wonder why nothing sticks. The power of GROW sits in the middle two stages: Goal -- define something specific enough to measure. Reality -- face where you actually are, not where you think you are. Options -- list everything available, including what feels uncomfortable. Will -- commit to one action this week. At Success Academy, we use GROW in every coaching session. The Reality conversation is where the real work happens. Most business owners have never been asked to be fully honest about their current visibility. That honesty is where change begins. #BusinessCoaching #GROWModel #UKSmallBusiness #ClientGetting #SuccessAcademy

We love seeing stories like this. 💛 A brilliant example of how coaching creates impact that goes far beyond the programme itself, developing coach learners who then go on to give back, support others, and advocate for the power of coaching. Huge credit to everyone involved, and especially to those who continue to champion coaching as a force for growth, confidence, and positive change. 👏✨

📋 Most coaches rush the coaching agreement. And it's understandable. You want to be useful as quickly as possible. But what if slowing down that urge leads to a richer, more meaningful session than going with the first thing the client brings? In our latest blog post, @Kirsten Dierolf explores what happens when you listen for two landscapes before settling on a coaching agreement: → The landscape of action: what the client wants, what they'd notice, what they'd call the problem → The landscape of identity: what's important to them, what it says about who they are, what they value Most coaching agreements stay in the first landscape. The real depth is in the second. The post includes concrete coaching moves, including how to work with problem labels, externalising, and inviting the 'what instead'. All drawn from narrative, collaborative and solution focused practice. 👉 Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/dnXgSPjf 📂 Save this post if you're working toward your ICF or EMCC credential. This kind of depth in contracting is what separates good coaches from great ones. #Coaching #ICF #EMCC #CoachingSupervision #SolutionFocused #CoachTraining #SolutionsAcademy

Most coaches pick up a few techniques and assume that's enough. It rarely is. The coaches clients rave about build their skill in layers, not as a flat checklist: 1. Mindset and ethics. The non-negotiables. 2. The relationship. Trust, rapport, the container. 3. Listening and questioning. The craft itself. 4. Accountability. What keeps momentum alive between sessions. 5. Business systems. What lets the work continue for years rather than months. If something feels off in your sessions, the fix usually isn't another technique. It's that one entire layer hasn't been built yet. Getting better at coaching and getting better at running a coaching business are two separate disciplines. Both deserve deliberate practice. #coaching #lifecoach #executivecoaching #coachingbusiness
