Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
Coaching is at heart a learning process, because adults learn by making sense of experience rather than by being told. This module connects coaching to David Kolb's learning cycle, Honey and Mumford's learning styles, Malcolm Knowles's andragogy, the Conscious Competence model, Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, the Johari Window, Argyris and Schön's learning loops, Carol Dweck's mindsets and Jack Mezirow's transformative learning. Person-centred, solution-focused and positive approaches share the view that people have the resources to grow. This module covers Carl Rogers's core conditions and humanistic roots, Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg's solution-focused toolkit and the Brief Family Therapy Center case, strengths and positive psychology coaching, David Cooperrider's appreciative inquiry, and Stephen Fineman's critique of relentless positivity.
What you'll develop

- Explain how a coaching conversation takes a coachee once around Kolb's experiential learning cycle.
