Coaching Habits and Addictions

Facilitated webinar 9.30am - 12.30pm. Please see below for the follow up Action Learning Group dates and further information.

As coaches, we all develop habits – some of which serve us well, and others less so.  Looking at the topic through two different lenses, we will explore the habitual behaviour we have developed (consciously or otherwise) as coaches and the impact this has on our practice.  In parallel, we will look at the work we do with clients who often struggle with habitual behaviours that have become embedded and are holding them back from being the best version of themselves.

In this series webinar we will:

• Explore how and why habits form.
• Look at why some habits become ‘addictions’ and how to spot the warning signs.
• Examine the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in understanding ourselves and others, drawing on the research that links levels of EI to regulating emotions and our tendency to form helpful and unhelpful habits or even ‘addictions’.
• Review the principles of neuroplasticity and the part this plays in change and creating new (helpful) habits.
• Look at mastering our own habits and helping our clients with theirs, including some practical tools and tips.
• Have an opportunity to participate in co-coaching in a safe environment to put webinar learning in to practice (Part 3: Optional Action Learning Group).

By the end of the webinar series delegates will be able to:

• Demonstrate a deeper understanding of habit formation in themselves and their coaching clients
• Show increased awareness of the power of positive habit formation
• Recognise that new helpful habits can be created and ways that this might be achieved
• Identify areas on the topic that will provide a foundation for further exploration and development
