Pamela Kundu 🇮🇳’s Post

Have you been hearing a lot about professional development "coaching" from colleagues, friends, or even social media posts and wondered, "What exactly is coaching, and how can it help me overcome the challenges I'm facing today?" Well, let's have some fun with that! First, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as, "Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential." Unlike therapy, which involves a deep dive into the past, coaching is a forward-facing and creative process, and with your coach you'll take a look at challenges you're facing today. Together you will co-create a plan for you to move forward and achieve your desired outcomes with intention. In coaching sessions you will focus on goal setting, creating outcomes, and managing personal change to ensure you show up as the best version of you both personally and professionally. And your coach will be your accountability partner in the process. Look at it this way, if athletes can have mental game coaches/performance coaches to ensure they perform at their highest level in their workplace, why shouldn't you? Aquiline Coaching put together this fun checklist below for a powerful leadership conference we attended earlier this month (thank you The WICT Network), and the checklist includes some of the many powerful topics we discuss in coaching sessions. We hope the checklist below will be insightful, give you an idea of how valuable coaching is, and help you identify some of the many ways it can support you in achieving your desired outcomes. Have fun "checking off" the boxes below! If you have any questions about coaching and how it can work for you, please feel free to DM me here and I'll be happy to help. #InspireTransformThrive  #ICFProud #ICFCoach #CoachingExcellence

Greetings dear coaches! I am overjoyed to host the very insightful, calm, and authentic Rishi A. Rongala for a masterclass on embodying a coaching mindset. The very first conversation I had with Rishi was effortless and flowing, which made me feel we knew each other forever. In my interactions with him what stood out was his presence, his mindset, and being, apart from many other qualities. Rishi A. Rongala is the youngest professional coach to receive the PCC credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and is currently on his MCC journey. He is a lifelong student of human behavior and potential and enables inspired leadership. Rishi serves CXOs, senior leaders and high performers in organizations by helping them unlock extraordinary results from effortless high performance, flow and wellbeing. He does this by enabling mastery over their State of Mind / State of Being. The methodology is deep transformative coaching based on first principles. Rishi will be sharing insights on the Topic - Effortlessly Embodying a Coaching Mindset for Coaches, related to the ICF Core Competency 2. When we use the words focus, concentration and attention, they imply effort. Awareness doesn't require effort. Even when we say presence, we overlook the fact that we are always present. We just need to see what to be present to. Intuition and self-awareness are invaluable in the coaching process. They enable us to sense beyond the spoken word, offering insights that can profoundly resonate with our clients. When we are fully present, attuned to our intuition, and detached from personal agendas or narratives, we foster a deeply intuitive and loving connection with our clients. What does it really mean to embody a coaching mindset? How do we cultivate awareness and effortlessly embody a coaching mindset? How is inner work essential for embodying a coaching mindset? What does all this have to do with love? If you are a coach or are in the coach training journey and are keen to learn how to effortlessly embody a coaching mindset, we invite you to join us for a reflective conversation. Date – 17th July 2024 Time – 6:00 PM IST Duration – 1 hour Register in advance for this meeting: https://lnkd.in/g-v8uyN6 After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with the login information. Looking forward to seeing you all in the masterclass 😊 Thank you! #coachingmindset #icfcc2 #coaching #coachdevelopment

"How does coaching work?" This is a question I've been asked a few times recently. The answer is, 'it depends...' There are lots of different ways to approach coaching. Most of the people I coach have a specific reason for wanting to work with a coach/with me: - they have a particular problem or 'challenge' they want to work through and resolve - they are entering a demanding period of work, such as a major project, a significant change process or a new role and they want support to stay focused, stay strategic and not get stressed - they have an important choice to make, such as changing roles, taking time out from work or considering retirement Whatever the reason for working with a coach, I am confident that my clients experience multiple benefits... Here are a few of them: 🙂 You are not the only person committed to your success 🙂 You have clear goals because you work on them with your coach 🙂 In fact, a lot of important strategic activities happen because you spend time with your coach working on them 🙂 You have help to get back in the right mindset when something knocks you off balance 🙂 You don’t have to make every decision alone – your coach provides you with useful processes to shape your thinking 🙂 Your commitment to your coaching sessions means that nothing is allowed to distract you from working on the ‘too hard’ issues with your coach 🙂 You can ‘download’ when events start to cause you stress 🙂 You learn new habits and techniques that you can use outside of the coaching 🙂 You achieve more with less effort I always start with an exploratory session (which is free) where the client can talk to me about their reason for wanting the coaching and I can see the scale of the gap between where they're starting from and where they want to get to. That means I can give an estimate of how many sessions we're likely to need before I start the meter running. If you're thinking a coach could help you achieve your targets and goals and you'd like to know more, I'm only a DM away... #coaching #goals #leadership

🔍 I often get asked about what my coaching process is like.  Today I’m here to tell you all about it 👇 A coaching program starts with a chemistry session to ensure that we are a good fit and to confirm that coaching is the right type of intervention to help you at this point in time, in relation to your goals. Perhaps you have some questions about coaching and the process. If we’re a good fit, we agree on an outline of a coaching program ahead of starting. 🤔 In the first session, we spend some time confirming that there aren’t any unanswered questions from the chemistry session. At this point, we take a little bit of a step back and talk in detail about what would you like to achieve with this coaching program. Let's say we have agreed on a six month coaching program. Where would you like to get to by the end of these six months of this coaching program with me? 🔍 Typically people have two or three themes that they want to work on - and so I try to get an outline of them and make sure they are as specific as possible.  🔄 And then depending on where we are with time in the first session, we may actually get started on coaching of the topic that feels the most pressing. 💬 We start our second session by clarifying if there's anything that we want to add, edit or remove from the high level themes that we had defined in session one. Then we dive in! ‘We agreed to start on this because this feels to be priority number one. Let's get specific here. What do we want to want to achieve? What's the pain point? What's the obstacle? What have you or haven’t tried?’ Later the sessions would follow on as some of the structure as the second coaching session. 🔄 In between coaching sessions, there will often be things to reflect on or to experiment with or perhaps things to do as a challenge if you are keen to. Additionally, I may recommend supplemental materials such as readings or podcasts to deepen understanding of topics discussed during sessions. And that’s how it works! An obligatory message from me to you - if you would like to improve your leadership, are thinking about a career change, want to explore mindfulness or are working with an international team, just send me a DM👀 #coaching #coachingprocess #InternationalCoachingWeek
