The Human Behind The Coach – the course
  • Instructor:
    Lucia Baldelli
  • Location:
    Virtual

    The coaching industry has put a lot of focus on models, tools and techniques that build confidence to manage any situation. The real work to become a more artful coach is on the inside – moving from skillset and toolset to lifeset and mindset. It is about who we are in the room – rather than what we do. 

    What needs to change for you on the inside to be able to demonstrate ease and partnership in coaching? Based on Claire Pedrick MCC and Lucia Baldelli MCC’s new book The Human Behind The Coach, this training will explore the human qualities that coaches demonstrate in the room to turn what looks, on a transcript, like a word-perfect conversation into artful coaching:

    • silence
    • control and not knowing
    • humility
    • vulnerability
    • distance
    • courage and insight.

    The artful coach demonstrates less ego, more ease, more depth. This comes in dialogue, in partnership, in flow. 

    We will explore these qualities and how they are seen in what we hear, see and sense in the thinker, in us and in the space between us. We will learn how to recognise artful coaching in a recording and practise how to demonstrate deep partnership at MCC level. You will take away what you need to take your coaching to a new level of depth and flow to enable greater transformation in others. At the end of the pilot, we will be applying to ICF to have this course accredited at Level 3.

    Please note that the instructor for this course will be Lucia Baldelli.
