Who Is This For?
- New and experienced professional coaches with an interest in coaching science research
- Coaching supervisors seeking evidence-based methods to support the coaches they work with
What You Will Learn:
- Learn about research findings on the self-deception of coaches and some.
- Discover strategies to become aware of and minimize self-deception.
- Identify ways coaching supervisors can support the coaches they work with.
Course Details:
This on-demand webinar, originally presented to the ICF Coaching Science Community of Practice, will introduce you to new research on self-deception in coaches.
The presenter will share the logic of the research design, the evolution of findings, and the results of the study according to the final conceptual model of self-deception in coaches.
The model will be useful in considering not only the reasons for self-deception, but also some strategies for minimizing self-deception by coaches themselves and opportunities for support by supervisors in this process.
Wider implications of the topic will be discussed in the context of seeing the self of the coach as a main instrument of coaching and with consideration of recent changes in the societies and professional world that coaches serve.

What Comes After Growth Mindset
How we show up and interact, reveals what we value, what we fear, how we think and what we believe. In this session we begin by noticing. Notice how we tend to show up in conversation. We will explore four types of mindsets that influence how we engage in conversation. The characteristics produce an energetic signature. Our mindset influences tone, timing, and ultimately then, how others perceive our trustworthiness. By applying several of the ICF sub-competencies, learn how to notice when a judgement arises and pause to allow curiosity to bubble up so we can generate new awareness that is the seed of evolution. The session offers an opportunity to match mindset traits with a specific business context, key relationship(s), and professional experience, applied first to self and second to your client context.
