What is the Phoenix Coaching Pack?
The Coaching Cards Resource Pack has been designed specially for beginners in mind, designed to take them step by step through the stages of becoming a successful coach. The pack includes 6 sets of coaching cards, one set of prompt cards, a coaching worksheet and a step by step booklet guiding you smoothly through the stages of how to coach. The Coaching Pack is ideal for learning to coach in groups, coaching clients one to one and also designed for self coaching!
One of the mistakes a lot of coaches make is going into detail far too quickly in the initial stages of a coaching session rather than seeing the first session/s as an 'information gathering' session to gather the clients bigger picture.The coaching worksheet is A3 in size and provides you with a really efficient way to gather information from the client and to write it down. When you can see the clients bigger picture (on one sheet) it becomes easier to recognise patterns and for you to decide what direction to go in next with the client.
What’s next?
When you have completed and passed Level 1 you can then go on to do Level 2 which is as Intermediate Level and suitable for those who have completed Level 1 or for those who have some experience of NLP or coaching and want to refresh and build on their existing skills as a coach.
