BESIG: Weekend Workshop - Integrating the ICF competences into business English training

Join IATEFL Business English SIG and Rachel Paling for this workshop.

This workshop will focus on how to deliver skilled "coaching conversations" bearing in mind the new ICF Coaching competencies launched in 2021 to facilitate more powerful learning processes.

Participants will actively engage in building up powerful coaching conversations to fully understand how to bring in awareness about how we communicate as trainers and educators. A brief intro to coaching and coaching models will be accompanied by a deeper dive into the core competences of the ICF, such as:

  • Understanding and consistently applying coaching ethics and standards of coaching
  • Developing and maintaining a mindset that is open, curious, flexible and client-centered
  • Partnering with the client and relevant stakeholders to create clear agreements about the coaching relationship, process, plans and goals.
  • Partnering with the client to create a safe, supportive environment that allows the client to share freely.
  • Maintaining a relationship of mutual respect and trust.
  • Being fully conscious and present with the client, employing a style that is open, flexible, grounded and confident
  • Focusing on what the client is and is not saying to fully understand what is being communicated in the context of the client systems and to support client self-expression
  • Facilitating client insight and learning by using tools and techniques such as powerful questioning, silence, metaphor or analogy
  • Partnering with the client to transform learning and insight into action
  • Promoting client autonomy in the coaching process.

There will be breakout practice rooms and active learning practice to help embed the new patterns of conversation
