See a video about resourceful space showing how it is used in practice
The coach can say something like,
You know the expression ‘take a step back’? Sometimes moving from where we are can help us to change how we experience things. From what you have been saying, it seems that you are in a space that I might call ‘stuck’ or ‘not-fully resourceful’ – what would you call it?

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is predicated on looking at the human reactions to events rather than the events themselves. Performance Coaches are of course already doing this and in meta-coaching (Hall) this represents one set of a panoply of interventions regarding the perceptions and ‘frames’ of the coachee. CBT methodology involves ‘Socratic’ questioning to create discovery. Again we see links with best practice in coaching where questions are used for the benefit of the coachee’s self-understanding rather than the benefit of (for example) a very poor coach who is struggling (and misguided) to decide where to ‘lead’ the coachee.

The GROW model is a simple model, particulary helpful for novice managers and coaches who want a thumbnail check on where there are in the session.
GROW stands for Goal, Reality check, Options & Will, Where, When, What, Who (and how) Continue reading G.R.O.W. Model
Language that reflects back the coachee’s own words is a win-win formula for success. This is called Reflective Language. The coach does not use up mental activity in interpreting and the coachee does not have to detach from the ‘experience’ they may be having in order to worry about the meaning of the words (interpretation of semantics) the coach is using. Reflective Language is very standard and used gracefully by all the best coaches I know. Coachees do not notice Reflective Language, but observers do notice! Continue reading Reflective Language
We offer a range of coaching masterclasses on video. You can watch one of the several sample videos below. Each of these shows the coaching session and the debriefing with the audience. These debriefings are fantastically educational in teasing out observed tricks of the trade. The full videos are all about an hour and also include the full coaching session AND the film of the debriefing and are available exclusively to members of this site on a pay-to-view basis with six weeks to see the videos as many times as you like. The samples are all free to view. Continue reading Video Masterclasses
The wheel of life is used as a coaching tool to assist the coachee to learn more about their own thinking, beliefs, motivations and de-motivations. It provides a soft way to work for novice coaches particularly as both parties can look at the tool rather than at one another.
There is no single wheel of life but we offer one with ten segments. There are 3 distinct steps in using the wheel.

In practice, when coaching, mentoring may sometimes be needed. Why is that?
Coaching, since Tim Gallwey, is perceived universally as a facilitative process, whereby the coach attends to the coachee and their learning. This attention to the coachee and their learning leads to the use of just three principle instruments of coaching, namely: questions, challenge and (Self-reflective; SR) Silence.
