Group Supervision By Terri Donohue

Systems We Swim In Neurodiversity and Coaching (Group Coaching Supervision)

Group coaching supervision is a space for coaches to reflect on who we are as coaches, how we coach and who we coach. It is also a place for us to “be” in relationship, in restoration, in connection. We are all together - yet in a profession that can at times feel isolating.

This special edition of our group coaching supervision will focus on neurodiversity and coaching - because neurodiversity is already part of your coaching world - it may just be hiding in plain sight. Join us at Neurodivergently Coaching for our next Coaching Supervision Group. And… you can earn ICF CORE CCEUs!

This virtual program consists of five two-hour sessions, from April 30th, 2024, and runs every two weeks until June 25th, 2024. It will run on Tuesdays from 2 pm to 4 pm ET, April 30, May 14, May 28, June 11, and June 25, 2024.

Free Training: Revolutionize Your Coaching with the Power of the Predictive Brain

Believe it or not, the human brain wasn’t designed for thought or logic. In recent years, neuroscientists have cracked the code on how our brains really function – and their insights have MAJOR implications for coaches and other helping professionals! We know now why bad habits and unhelpful behaviours are so difficult to change – and we have new strategies and tools to stimulate self-reflection, promote personal growth, and help clients take action on their goals.

On Thursday, April 18th, neuroscientist Dr. Irena O’Brien will explain what recent neuroscience breakthroughs mean for your coaching practice – and she’ll share practical tools and techniques you can apply today to get better results for your clients.

You’ll discover:

  • How to spark positive changes for your clients by harnessing the power of the predictive brain
  • Why your clients are NOT at the mercy of their emotions (plus 2 practical techniques to help them self-regulate without years of therapy)
  • The super-simple, neuroscience-backed exercise that completely changes your clients’ self-image (and it has nothing to do with affirmations!)
  • Why the brain’s “prediction engine” keeps us stuck in bad habits and unhelpful patterns – and how to help your clients break free and change their behaviour
  • and more

What you learn in this workshop will empower you to coach with more purpose, more confidence, and more success.

Mentor Coaching with Jo Bennett, ACPC, PCC, ACE

Engage with confidence in a personalized 1:1 space where you can flourish as a coach!

For five years I have mentored clients in the early stages of their coaching journey: individuals in ICF accredited education programs, those applying for an ACC or PCC credential, as well as ICF members renewing their ACC credential. I am specifically trained in mentor coaching, and I am registered as a mentor coach with the ICF.

I take a coach approach with mentor clients to deepen their self reflection skills, collaborating to explore growth edges while celebrating current gifts. There is ample time to steep in the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies for rich alignment. We co-generate thoughtful feedback on two or more recorded calls. My coach clients build on insights discovered during and between our sessions, as they witness their growth in their own client’s results.

More information is available on my website: https://solomojo.ca/icf-mentor-coach/

It is a joy and privilege to work with newer coaches. Their dedication to learning inspires me to grow and thrive as a professional.

I look forward to working with you!
