Train the Trainer - coaching
Coaching is a positive, helping relationship between
two people: a trained coach and a client. It differs
from other helping relationships such as counselling,
mentoring, and guidance in that it does not offer advice
nor does the coach suggest that he/she is an expert in
a client's field of work. Coaching seeks to empower a
person to find their own solutions to their challenges,
focussing on the present and the future and not dwelling
on past events. Coaches are non-judgmental and non-critical,
concentrating on strengths and encouraging clients to
build on these.
If you would like to receive coaching support having completed
the Alite Train the Trainer course, we would be happy to
put you in touch with an appropriate coach. Typically,
a coachee would book a course of four sessions, each 45
minutes long. The first 30 minute session is free of charge,
and designed to establish that you and the coach will work
well together and that the process will help you to achieve
your goals.
Why is coaching such a powerful agent for change?
Coaching draws on different disciplines to help clients
overcome barriers which prevent them from achieving their
goals. The skilled use of questioning, reflection, and
some specialised coaching techniques can help people unlock
their potential.
Coaching provides the client with a space for reflection
and an opportunity to discuss and organise their thoughts
without the interruptions of everyday life. This is provided
by a coach whose main role is to question, listen and reflect
back to the client. Coaches employ techniques that can
enable people to consider problems from other angles and
develop positive approaches to problem-solving.
Coaching is:
- a non-critical and non-judgemental helping process
- a powerful way to overcome internal barriers to success
- adaptable to use with all age groups
- used across a group or one-to-one
- used to help pupils, teachers, managers and parents
maximise their performance
- adding to the impact of conventional training
- easily carried out
- often done over the telephone, thus reducing
logistical difficulties of two people meeting
face-to-face
