Transactional Analysis for Coaches

Live Training Accelerator Session

CPD for Coaches Programme Workshop

This session is part of our Continual Professional Development (CPD) for Coaches Programme. The session is only suitable for qualified or nearly qualified coaches.

This highly practical programme will demonstrate how to maximize your effectiveness in working with clients by rapidly identifying which Ego State they are currently occupying (Parent, Adult or Child) and by consciously choosing which to occupy yourself and which to creatively invite your clients into, depending on the desired outcomes of the coaching session.

• You will learn how to recognize and overcome communication blocks ('crossed transactions') and occasions in which the overt meaning of language does not fit with the covert or hidden meanings ('ulterior transactions').
• You will learn the importance of building a 'positive stroke economy' to your coaching practice; and become skilled at identifying, challenging and utilizing 'psychological drivers'.
• Most importantly, you will have an opportunity to work on your own 'Life Script' and to revise the parts of your Script which may be holding you back in your coaching practise – and in life in general.
• You will gain an understanding of the role of 'Discounting' in keeping clients stuck; and practice the skills of challenging discounting to enable forwards movement.
• The influence of Transference and Counter-Transference on coaching practice will be outlined; as well as how 'primal wounds' such as Abandonment and Engulfment are played out in the coaching relationship.

Over all, you will leave this session with greatly enhanced Self-Awareness and a whole new toolkit for working creatively and respectfully with your clients.
