This week, Claire Pedrick, Nathan Whitbread, and Kim Witten open up the conversation around Coaching and Neurodiversity.
They discuss the misconceptions surrounding coaching neurodivergent thinkers and emphasise the importance of simplicity in the way coaches coach.
Takeaways
- Coaching neurodivergent individuals requires an understanding that we are all experts in our own experiences and ways of thinking.
- Simplicity in questioning is crucial when working with neurodivergent thinkers, as complex questions can shift the focus away from the work at hand.
- Measuring progress and success should be individualised and focused on movement and the feeling of growth.
- Creating a supportive team and knowing when to reset are essential in coaching neurodivergent thinkers.
- People are becoming more willing to openly share their neurodivergent experiences, allowing for more open and effective coaching conversations. Trust and partnership are crucial when discussing neurodivergence in coaching.
- Diagnosing and labelling should be approached with caution, focusing on supporting people rather than categorising them.
- Self-disclosure as a coach can create connection and trust, but it should be done in a way that serves the other's needs.
- Coaches should prioritise being present and authentic, allowing clients to be 100% themselves in the coaching space.

"Noticing is the most important and least formed skill in coaches."
At this week’s Open Table, Claire Pedrick MCC is talking with
We explore the theme of noticing in coaching and the importance of observing what is happening in the thinker. What are the challenges of noticing and the transformative impact it can have on coaching sessions? We talk about how it contributes to the flow of the conversation, the power of silence, the art of interrupting, and the impact of asking shorter and more focused questions. The key takeaway is to create space for the thinker to think and to stay present in the moment. By noticing and offering, rather than diagnosing, coaches can keep the conversation in the realm of generative exploration.
- Takeaways
- Noticing is a crucial skill in coaching and requires observing what is happening in the thinker.
- The role of movement and physicality in coaching can create a dynamic and power-free environment.
- Silence and reflection are important tools in noticing and allowing the thinker's thoughts to flow.
- Focusing on the thinker's perspective and drenching oneself in the other person's experience enhances the coaching process. Create space for the thinker to think
- Stay present in the moment
- Notice and offer, rather than diagnose
- Interrupt with a slight steer back to the topic
- Ask shorter and more focused questions
- Focus on the impact and landing of the question
- Avoid interrupting the thinker's flow
- Pay attention to the quality of the thinker's processing
