WHY PARENTING WORKSHOPS?


by Ninive Badilescu

Coaching workshops are in essence coaching sessions in a group setting where a topic of interest for the group is discussed and participants use the creativity of the coach/facilitator and the group to discover solutions that work for the them individually. Group coaching workshops are a way to experience the benefits of coaching.


The coach brings the group a topic for discussion, or a member may have a topic they'd like to address. Over the time of the session, participants interact with the each other and the coach/facilitator to come to a clearer understanding of the topic, of the best ways to deal with it and of the tools and skills one needs to use to achieve change.


The main benefits for taking part in a coaching workshop are:

  • Teamwork: The group becomes a team. Participants can use the coach or the other members as a 'sounding board' to test ideas and get unbiased input.
  • Focus: The group and its interests are the focus of the coaching workshop.
  • Structure: Because it is a coaching workshop the sessions will be structured to allow for individual input and participation for the benefit of all members.
  • Commitment: Participation will be based on commitment to achieve something and thus everyone will be interested to focus on results.
  • Accountability: There is something about sharing ones plans with another person that makes one more likely to stick to them.
  • Self-management: Being accountable to oneself is only the beginning. Once there are tools one can use it is a matter of managing them and using them appropriately.
  • Momentum: Groups help one stay focused on goals and keeps the energy and momentum going.
  • Action learning: Coaching workshops are action oriented and they will come with lots of examples and explanations which are easy to understand. Participants can also design their own 'tools' to move them into action.
  • Sharing: One feels part of a group sharing same interests and facing the same issues.

In The Spotlight

Kate James
TOTAL BUSINESS COACHING
Click here to visit her web site

Hi I'm Kate. As well as being a businesswoman, I am a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters. Before establishing Total Balance Coaching, I worked as a business manager for small businesses, mainly in the creative arenas of architecture, film production and advertising. What I've learnt in my life is that working with people and making an impact in someone's life is what really lights me up.

My vision is to create balance and harmony in the lives of my clients to enable them to contribute to a society where acceptance and tolerance are innate and world peace becomes a reality. I live my life to the fullest and I believe that nothing is impossible. Keeping fit is really important to me and I walk along the beach most days, play tennis and get to the gym a couple of times a week. Managing a business as well as a family is a constant balancing act, but one of life's greatest challenges. Creating a home that is nurturing, welcoming and warm is really important to me and has been the basis of my love of renovating, cooking and gardening. My family, friends, books, music, the coast, photography and good food are life's luxuries for me. and I want to always keep learning and growing as a person. Developing and nurturing wonderful relationships, understanding people and sharing the journey is what fulfils me. I work side by side with others to help them achieve their dreams and find true happiness in life.

I have almost completed my training with International Coach Academy and I am currently coaching a mix of business and personal clients on a huge range of issues. My coaching practice is growing slowly and I aim to commence coaching teenagers in their school environment before the end of this year. I hope to obtain accreditation with International Coach Federation within the next two years.
