Psychology of Coaching

Kim Morgan will explore some of the key principles which make coaching more transformational than transactional. These will include:

• How transformation occurs and how coaching should be more than just a “cosy chat”

• The importance of high emotion and creativity in coaching

• Understanding the psychology of motivation – associating everyday behaviours with long-term outcomes

• The coach as an “Empathetic Provocateur” and the coach as an instrument of change

• Dynamic listening to ignite the mind

• Starting with the end in mind and presupposing success

There will be lots of opportunity for interaction, questions and to coach and be coached.
