August 2020 Newsletter
The Group was honoured to host executive coach and lecturer Aboodi Shabi’s webinar on 28th July, exploring the art of mastery in coaching. Aboodi opened the session with a thought provoking analogy around the value of so-called ‘powerful’ coaching questions being as useful as off the shelf chat-up lines - unless they are delivered in a way that is in tune with the other person. The group explored the importance of reflecting on our own state and presence, before turning our attention to our coaches. After this, we broke out into small groups to discuss and reflect on the barriers that may be getting in the way of our own coaching, whether it be our own need to know or our discomfort with emotion. An overarching takeaway from the session to be aware of what is coming up within ourselves, and to make a personal commitment to developing and working on ourselves first.

Feedback from June event – "Intention - why it matters, especially now" with Juliet Adams
"The useful slides and models. The breakout discussions. Juliet is clearly very knowledgeable about her subject”
“Learning about the different type of intentions. Putting theory into practice during break out groups”
“Understanding what makes an intention an intention, really helpful. Really professionally run, an enlightening and enjoyable experience. Something to offer even when face to face returns to catch a wider audience"
