Nourishing Coaches: Wellbeing for Sustainable Practice
Virtual Reflective Groups for Coaches
The reflective groups facilitated by Wendy-Ann Smith & Marian Rosefield & Stephanie McCarthy will provide the space for you to engage, reflect and create to nourish yourself and your coaching with the science of wellbeing and ethical reflection.
Workshop series overview
At the heart of professional and personal lives are ethics. Reflective practice groups are essential for enhancing self-awareness, identity formation, learning and how wellbeing is the cornerstone of ethical practice in coaching practice. Furthermore, reflection can contribute to emotional intelligence, strengths identification and resilience, which are crucial for integrating wellbeing knowledge to enhance and maintain wellbeing and to support the prevention of burnout in coaching professionals. Experienced coaches have found their development process to be a cyclical process of reflection, identify and understand learnings, test learnings in action and reflect on the experience and understood outcomes for the self and others. This ‘Nourishing Coaches’ reflective workgroup series emphasises continuous personal, professional, and ethical growth, focusing on the interplay between the science of wellbeing and ethical practice to support sustainable practice.
The goals of this workshop are:
- Support coaches to critically reflect on their learning practices
- Increase awareness of ethics and its relationships including wellbeing and decision-making processes
- Understand and work with emotions and strengths of the self and within the coaching
- Facilitate coaches to engage in reflective ethical thinking, set learning goals and actions
