The Power of Perspective: Coaching our Clients to New Narratives
Description
Have you ever had the experience where you sense there is more to explore in a topic than your ADHD client is bringing to the coaching session? As a coach you can hear it plain as day - a repeated narrative, a limiting belief, an inconsistency that doesn’t add up, but you are unsure how to delve further with your client? On the surface it can be discouraging but it may be a sign that you are progressing with your coaching skills. Coaching is, in part, a constellation of communication skills. It begins with a foundation of effective listening, and it is these listening skills that often outpace other complementary skills of inquiry and articulation. This session is designed to explore one complementary skill in particular - working with client perspectives. Perspective work helps clients better understand their own patterns of thinking and reasoning and helps to increase self-awareness and cognitive flexibility - two qualities impacted by ADHD. Internal stories drive motivation and behavior. They can also get in the way of real and sustainable change. In this extended interactive session, coaches get to practice identifying and exploring perspectives using a simple and approachable model with their coaching peers.
