PROGRAMME OF THE TRAINING
The program of the training is built in such a way that there is progressive step-by-step learning by doing and it is adapted to the learning needs of the group. This means that each piece of content is delivered, will be integrated into the new contents that follow it. Like Lego bricks, they will be put on top of each other in a consistent way. For every step, the learning will be done by putting the content into practice, so that it is practically exercised and not only theoretically discussed.
FIRST STEPS – In the beginning you will have the opportunity to define your own concept of coaching and mentoring through direct experience and action. Also, you will get the chance to identify your skills, how you want to improve them and what are the results you want to get.
PERSONAL AWARENESS – Personal awareness is about becoming more conscious on how we communicate on a daily basis through observation. For a coach it can have a great impact to have a clear perception of his/her communication when working with a volunteer. To achieve this, you will work throughout on 3 main levels: body language, voice/tonality and language.
ME, THE OTHER AND COACHING – During this step you will be able to take a step further towards what coaching can be, by working with tools to understand how perception is built and with questions that can bring another understanding and perspective for your volunteers’ questions.
WORKING WITH VOLUNTEERS – During working with volunteers we will examine the following questions: How to create connection and maintain it throughout the work with a volunteer? How to ask questions? How to lead the volunteer into getting another perspective on their questions?
COACHING APPLIED – You will get the opportunity to practice and develop a wider range of approaches that are available, which can give you the confidence of handling a volunteer in different ways. The focus will be on coaching through the body, identifying what the core qualities in your voice are and how to perform attention giving behaviour. Further, you will learn about techniques on the level of questions and conversation.
CREATIVE COACHING – You will be able to explore how to expand your creativity and imagination while coaching, so that you can bring another perspective in a refreshing and attracting way for your coachee. During this day you will have many opportunities to practice how to use your coaching sessions in another context, how to use visualization for releasing the emotional tension from specific memories, and how to give creative assignments.
