Coaching Practical Business Game

Develop & practise effective coaching skills, assisting coachees to resolve realistic problems

Description

Expand your coaching toolkit and introduce a creative, intuitive dimension into coaching. Ideal for personal and life coaches, group facilitators, teachers, therapists and counsellors.

Practical Coaching is an easy-to-learn, ready-to-use training activity. With quick delivery, you can soon be up and running with your coaching skills training.

Interesting and informative coaching notes and practical coaching activities provide the basic principles and techniques required to be a successful coach.

In the pack you will find useful information on:

  • the role of a coach
  • dos and don’ts of life and executive coaching
  • the importance of non-verbal communication when coaching
  • body language that builds rapport
  • powerful questions for life coaching
  • using the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will)
  • the skills of giving feedback.

When coaching, it is likely the coachee will come to you with issues or problems seeking your advice. It is important to learn how to hand the problem or difficulty back to the coachee and encourage them find the solutions. Part two will help you practice the skills to do this.

Choose from the series of interesting and challenging problems included in the pack for the coach to assist the coachee to resolve.

Divide the group into teams of three. With one person to take on the role as a coach; another to be the coachee and one to be the observer.

Give each person a briefing sheet for their role which they must read and fully understand before starting the coaching session.

Give the coach a problem sheet with the answer and another sheet with only the problem on. When the coach fully understands the problem and the answer they hand the problem sheet to the coachee and run a coaching session to encourage them to find the solution.

The observer’s role is to observe the actions and reactions of the participants and make notes of what they consider to be noticeable actions and attitudes. At the end of the session the observer will give their observations for discussion with the participants.

This game is appropriate for use by personal, life and executive coaches, therapists, group facilitators, teachers and counsellors who are interested in expanding their toolkits and introducing a creative, intuitive dimension into their work.
