From skillset to mindset: A deeper coaching shift

Many experienced coaches reach a point where growth is no longer about learning new skills. We may have learnt a plethora of techniques to contract well, listen deeply and ask powerful questions, yet something still limits the depth of transformation we facilitate.

 

Often, that “something” is not a missing skill. It is an unexamined personal mindset that subtly limits our professional impact.

 

These mindsets do not sit quietly in the background. They shape how our skills show up. They influence how we contract, how we listen, how we challenge, how we support and how we partner. They can either hinder or help our coaching. They can quietly constrain or boldly unleash our impact.

 

At ReciproCoach, we want you to make the most of your coaching skills. That is why we have once again partnered with Clare Norman, MCC, to bring you The Transformational Coach Peer Coaching Round.

 

Clare, a mentor coach and coaching supervisor, is the author of The Transformational Coach: Free Your Thinking and Break Through to Coaching Mastery. In this book, Clare invites coaches to look beneath their skills and examine the internal assumptions shaping their practice. She explores 83 old mindsets, shaped by parents or carers, school, peers, workplaces, managers, coach training and our own coaching experience, that can either dampen or amplify our coaching skills.

 

Clare’s work is about consciously unlearning what no longer serves us and replacing it with mindsets that allow our existing skills to land with greater clarity, courage and impact.

 

This is the kind of book that needs to be done, and not merely read and that is exactly why we have a Peer Coaching Round devoted to working through it in practice.

 

The Transformational Coach Peer Coaching Round is not about adding more tools to your coaching toolkit. It is about shifting the internal assumptions that drive how you coach, how your skills land and the impact they have on your clients.

 

Past participants described this round as “eye-opening”, “powerful”, “growth-inducing” and “deeply valuable”. Many said it elevated their coaching to another level and truly lived up to its name: transformational.

 

Read more about what the round covers and the experiences of past participants here, or if you know this is what you need, go ahead and register now.

 

This year, you also have the opportunity to join a Transformational Coach group mentoring session with Clare (available via separate registration here and not included in the peer coaching round). In this session, Clare offers feedback on participants’ recorded sessions and live coaching, and answers your questions. If you cannot attend live or places are filled, you may register as an observer here to listen at a time that suits you.

 

If you are ready to make the deeper shifts that unlock the full potential of your existing coaching skills by truly embodying the coaching mindset, you will not want to miss this peer coaching round.
