Business Coaching

Business coaching helps individuals, teams, or organizations reach their highest potential by providing tools, strategies, and guidance to enhance performance and achieve goals.

Instrumental Approach

The instrumental approach to business coaching involves using practical tools and structured steps to address specific needs. This method is effective for straightforward goals but may fall short if underlying psychological complexities are involved. For more complex issues, integrating psychological expertise can be crucial.

How Business Coaching Works

Objectives: The primary goal of business coaching is to improve performance and utilization of an individual’s or organization’s full potential. This involves aligning skills, capabilities, and motivations with specific professional objectives.

Characteristics of Effective Business Coaching:

1. Active Listening and Honest Communication: Essential for understanding needs and guiding effectively.

2. Introspection and Goal Setting: Important for setting realistic, meaningful goals based on a clear analysis of the current situation.

3. Skills Training: Focuses on identifying gaps, setting baselines, and practicing skills until targets are achieved.

4. Decision-Making Support: Helps resolve entrenched corporate dilemmas and improve decision-making processes.

5. Powerful Questions: Aids in uncovering the real issues rather than surface-level problems.

6. Understanding Blocks: A psychologist can help interpret blocks as adaptive responses rather than just obstacles, providing a more nuanced approach to overcoming them.

   
   Psychological Expertise

Role of Psychologists in Business Coaching

Psychologists bring a deeper understanding of personal and emotional dynamics to business coaching. They can address complex issues that go beyond simple skill gaps, offering a more holistic approach to overcoming barriers.

Training and Resources

• Personalized, Data-Driven Advice: For HR managers to better coach their teams.

• Multi-Tiered Support: From mental health tools to ongoing psychological therapy, catering to various levels of need.

Key Takeaways

1. Structured Guidance: Business coaching provides a structured approach to achieving specific goals but should be complemented with psychological insights when dealing with complex issues.

2. Holistic Improvement: Effective business coaching improves performance by aligning skills with goals and addressing underlying psychological barriers.

3. Psychological Integration: Incorporating psychological expertise can enhance the effectiveness of business coaching by addressing deeper issues that may impact performance.

Business coaching sessions can be booked ad hoc when needed for particular issues, or as a part of your regular plan for ongoing self-improvement.

Pervasive Demand Avoidance or PDA is a profile of Autism characterised by an extreme need for control and autonomy driven by high levels of anxiety, resulting in demand avoidance, emotional regulation difficulties and a heightened stress response.

Many PDAers are unable to attend school, and those that do often struggle to engage in a traditional classroom environment. This can present a challenge for teachers and support staff, as they are often trained to support Autistic children with adherence to routines and behavioural strategies, approaches that are generally met with opposition and distress by PDAers.

This seminar will provide attendees with a better understanding of PDA and the reasons why approaches traditionally used to support Autistic students are often ineffective with PDAers. Then practical tips and strategies for engaging and supporting children with a PDA profile in the classroom will be described, using real case studies and examples from the presenter’s work as a psychologist and play therapist.

Suitable for Educators, Support staff, Allied Health Professionals and Parents.

Presented by Educational & Developmental Psychologist, Raelene Dundon.

A recording will be available for ticket holders after the event.
