ALBA Coaching

This week I spent two days delivering some coaching skills training at Lancaster University.

It was an absolute pleasure to be delivering the content for CIC and always brilliant to be able to watch Jess Woodsford in action and learn from a brilliant facilitator!

We had such a wonderful reception by the students services team led by Hannah Critchley. The two days were made even better by how enthusiastic and engaged the team were, so thank you! and

DM to discover how coaching skills to support your team.

What an excellent morning delivering part of CIC recently CPD Accredited Introduction to Coaching Skills to Teachers at Dublin. The team were very engaged and interested to gain new skills in Coaching.

It was a brilliant morning discussing:
👉 What is coaching and how it differs from mentoring
👉 The importance of active listening
👉 The power of silence
👉 How to use open, curious questions effectively

The teachers were completely engaged and took a lot out of the coaching practice activities.

I also loved the discussions at the end around how the teachers could integrate their new skills and understanding of coaching within their day to day lives, both in the classroom and beyond. From how they could better each other and their students as individuals. Also adapting their teaching styles and how they assess and feedback to their students.
