What distinguishes coaching from other problem-solving conversations? A coach will explore what you want to change? Help you describe your Why? Discern your current perspective? Identify assumptions and beliefs limiting your thought process, and the perceived problems you want to resolve. Marcia Reynolds says it well, a coach explores: "the person's perspective to expand their stories so more answers and actions come into view?....Coaching expands the context so people understand the situation beyond what they think they know...the lightbulb pops on as creative insights comes into view." If you haven't explored coaching yet, International Coaching Week is next week and there are several opportunities to learn more about coaching. Here are just two in the Edmonton area: CHOOSE COACHING, ICF Edmonton Chapter Hosted by Kelly Johnson, ICF President & Executive Coach https://lnkd.in/gPTtRrYU Join my 30 minute interview with Haesun Moon Phd, Executive Coach, Communication Expert and Author of Coaching a-z.

An executive coach is someone who you can confidentially share your hopes, dreams, frustrations, challenges, fears, doubts, and struggles without feeling judged. Most clients find coaching reassuring and energizing. They are no longer alone and feel more secure knowing that most of their unhelpful thinking and actions are both normal and typical. They learn they can choose to make positive changes to grow both personally and professionally. There are a couple of ways we could work together to support your growth plan. Individual and group coaching: https://lnkd.in/ecGiNgne 10 X Coaching Intensive: https://lnkd.in/gxgm4BWX First-time Manager Success: https://lnkd.in/gMSwrkFm Which one will be most helpful for the new you? #professionaldevelopment. #businessowners #managers #management #business

Susan Ní Chríodáin, David Lee and I are planning our next webinar and would like your help. This time, we are going to focus on bad behaviour at work: ❓ Why it happens? ❓ Why are we sometimes oblivious to our impact on others? ❓ What can we do about it? We'd love to share some of your stories about toxic behaviours that you have experienced so please either DM us or comment below if you would like to share. We will of course ensure stories are anonymous if you want them to be. As an example of the kind of stories that we want to unpick....in my very early career, I spent ages photocopying a huge report only to be told that the staples were the wrong angle in the corner of the document and that I would have to start again. And then, the person who I had done the work for threw all the pages on the floor and jumped up and down on them! Interestingly, when I created the image for this post, AI also included lots of paper being thrown about in the form of paper aeroplanes...I've never experienced that at work but I'm sure someone has. We are hoping that it will be both cathartic to share experiences and useful to figure out how to deal with these bad behaviours! Image by DALL-E Open Ai

Leading yourself well includes attending to all of you. Is there loss that needs to be recognized, honoured and processed in you? Is your leadership capacity and depth stuck because there is unprocessed information in you? Your body will notice, and communicate the data to you when you choose time to courageously listen. Lead yourself well. #growth #leadershipcoach #teamcoach #personalleadership #purposedriven #mindmanagement #lorrainerichmond #kelownabc #kelownawomeninbusiness #coaching #youchoose #personalgrowth #faithanddoubt #personaldevelopment #religiousharm #workinggenius #executivecoach #values #purpose #noticeandname #keynotespeaker #workshopspeaker #ceotime #leadershipdevelopment #neuroscience #neurosciencecoach #meaning #transition #coach #resilience

3 things that give me hope. I just spent over 16 weeks, 16 webinars, weekly pod meetings, daily homework, coaching and being coached through David Bayers Facilitator Certification program https://lnkd.in/gkjtxsY8 guided masterfully by @darcybailey Director of coaching. As Jay, one of the participants in the program said, we weren't 'practicing' coaching, as all of the coaching sessions were real, with heartfelt issues, exciting opportunities, and profound breakthroughs. What gave me hope was: 1/ How powerful and resourceful people choose to be, despite the trauma's they've been through in their lives - they just 'rise-up'. 2/ The compassion and caring these participants have for each other. To see the best in someone, to see their potential, even when they're being vulnerable, or transparent, and help them see their own greatness. 3/ We don't have to do it alone. You're not alone. Trust me. I've got that 'I have to do it alone' thing going on. You're not alone. Everywhere, the world is full of people waiting to, wanting to, yearning to help. Reach out - it's not weakness - it's courage. #coaching #riseup #hope #resilience #compassion #transparency

The ‘inside out’ leadership journey: How personal growth creates the path to success. 🏃🏃‍♀️It tends to be avoided by most. In the end it is about inner development - and yes that means going beyond just the achiever mindset (a mindset with quite a few blind spots). This article covers some of the inner journey …a stepping stone towards vertical leadership development. https://lnkd.in/eJBWmJFK
