S4 Episode 17: Time to Think meets Simplifying Coaching with Anne Hathaway and Claire Pedrick

The most frequent question Claire is asked is When are you going to talk about Time to Think at The Coaching Inn ?

 

So today’s guest is Anne Hathaway.  Anne met Nancy Kline by coincidence in the early 1990s and has been deeply involved in Thinking Environment work since then. The actions we take are only as good as the thinking behind them. And we have an interesting exploration about respect and positive regard.

S4 Episode 13: The Art and Psychology of Board Relationships with Joy Harcup and Helen Hopper

Joy Harcup and Helen Hopper both have extensive experience of being on and working with boards.  Noticing that good dynamics were what made the difference, Joy realised that there was a book to be written.  She was looking for a co-author with a psychology background, and met Helen on a leadership retreat in Rajasthan.

"Boards often don't quite know if they're a team or a group or what they are."

Find out about what they have learned on the way, especially the importance of how people defend themselves against pressure.

• Self-awareness and understanding one's role in board dynamics is crucial for improving board relationships.
• Defensive reactions often underlie poor board dynamics, and recognizing and addressing these reactions can lead to better collaboration.
• Boards can become more than the sum of their parts by embracing diversity, engaging in constructive conflict, and fostering effective communication.
• The book provides practical guidance and real-life case stories to help board members and coaches navigate board relationships and improve board effectiveness.

S4 Episode 12: SPECIAL Open Table - Changing Hats with Consent in Coaching

While some professional bodies like ICF have a very pure definition of coaching, it's common for people coming to coaching to be unclear what we offer.  Sometimes the organisation has commissioned you to do a combination of coaching and mentoring. What's ethical? What's partnership? What's useful? 

 

Today Claire is joined by

• Michael Kell who emailed info@3dcoaching.com with an idea to have this conversation
• Gary Crotaz
• Mark Mercer
• Matthew Rayward
• Nathan Whitbread
• Ivan Yong

 

Takeaways

• The tension between coaching and mentoring arises when and how to give advice.
• Having a clear niche can be helpful, but it's important to remain open-minded and authentic.
• Credibility and authority from previous professional experiences can influence coaching.
• Coaches should strive to be in the same conversation as their clients and maintain flow and flexibility in sessions.
• Letting go of imposter syndrome and perfectionism allows for more effective coaching.
• Transitioning between coaching and mentoring should be fluid and natural, using normal language to indicate the shift.
• Good enough for now is a valuable mindset in coaching, allowing for progress and improvement over time. Staying in flow and allowing the client to stay in flow is crucial in coaching conversations
• Mentoring requires the mentor to hold back from giving answers and instead guide the mentee towards finding their own solutions
• Experience can be valuable in mentoring, but it's important to recognize that what worked for the mentor may not work for the mentee
• Team mentoring can provide a unique opportunity for collective learning and the development of diverse skills
• The concept of changing hats in coaching and mentoring may require coaches to expand their range and be comfortable with change
