Mindful Coaching - 4 Day Course - Dubai

Mindfulness has important contributions to make to coaching which will enable you to become more efficient and productive'

'Most managers and leaders are currently TIME POOR, this experiential programme will help you create more space to be able to work ON the development of...your Colleagues; the Team; the Department and the Organisation rather than just IN IT'

Coaching is fundamentally concerned with the enhancement of human self-regulation. As research is increasingly showing, mindfulness is a multifaceted psychological phenomena that reduces emotional and behavioural reactivity and supports adaptive, goal-directed self-regulation, which in today's world can benefit you.

The more detailed our understanding of mindfulness, the more effective we can be in using it to enhance the coachees/teams/customers/suppliers capacity to self-regulate.

'Mindful Coaching practice results in purposeful and positive change'

'Better understanding and engagement with our people allows to us to use human connectivity to face adversity together, develop high performing teams which embrace the core skills of emotional intelligence and human motivation which are results orientated and not emotion led'

The ability to achieve FOCUS together makes the workplace journey less complicated and more achievable by developing a culture of joint accountability which is underpinned by developmental leadership (development leadership is when coaching and engagement are at the fore, with excellence being achieved through the joint endeavour of the individual/team through inspiration and motivation) 'Goodwin 12/17'

How can mindfulness help in coaching?

Let's say for example, you're seeing a coach to help you deal with change effectively and together you've set action steps to achieve this to help you reach your goal of driving change through over a period of time.

In this context, mindfulness as part of a coaching programme can be extremely supportive in a number of ways as it offers the following outcomes:

• Develop greater self-compassion.

• More accepting and forgiving of themselves when they experience difficulty and are less likely to engage with self-critical mind chatter that leads to goal inhibiting behaviours.

• Understand that experience is constantly in flux and this helps them to keep going.

• People who regularly practice mindfulness are better equipped to deal with emotional and physical discomfort, they experience an increase in resilience that expands out into other areas of life.

• People who practice mindfulness have greater concentration and can stay focussed for longer.

In any area of life where emotional or physical discomfort is experienced or where extra focus or resilience is needed, mindful coaching is really supportive.
