Workshop Descriptions
Workshop 1
An introduction to Team Coaching
Jeremy Gomm
The 2013 Ridler Report, into trends in coaching in
major organisations, highlights the growth of and
demands for team coaching in organisations. It’s the
buzz phrase, it’s happening . . . and everywhere you
look, it’s different. And that raises some questions:
•
•
•
The shorthand is team coaching – what is the
longhand?
What are the contrary dynamics of a group, a team,
coaching and facilitation?
What is the role of a team coach?
There is a fair bit of research about teams and
teamwork but very little about team coaching – what it
is, what it isn’t, how it works. With this in mind the
purpose of the workshop is to explore what is meant by
team coaching in organisations and to share in a
process designed to develop a better understanding of
what is involved.
About the workshop presenter
Jeremy is an accredited EMCC
and NHS coach, and operates two
businesses: one focusing on
helping organisations and their
people to grow and prosper
through personal and team
coaching and workshop facilitation;
the other adopts a coaching
approach to leadership and
organisational development in
local authorities.
As a coach and consultant, Jeremy has worked with
some of the world’s leading companies, in the public
sector and for SMEs. He is a voluntary Board member
of EMCC in the UK with responsibility for business
development, focused on growing the corporate
membership of the organisation.
Workshop 2
Making the Most of Internal Coaching
Katharine St John-Brooks
Why would managers wish to train as coaches on top of
their day jobs? What are the rewards? And, perhaps
more importantly, what are the challenges? And how
can the many organisations that deploy them – often
with a cost reduction driver – do better at providing their
internal coaches with the support they need and
deserve?
Come along to this participative workshop for an insight
into how some organisations have really thought
through how they can use their internal coaching
resource to best effect and explore what your own
organisation, and your internal coaches, could learn.
About the workshop presenter
Katharine is an executive coach and
consultant specialising in the
strategic use of internal coaches
within organisations. She has spent
12 years as an external coach and
has written a book, ‘Internal
Coaching: The Inside Story’.
Katharine holds an MSc in
Organisational Behaviour, an MA in
Professional Development (Coaching) and is a Fellow
of the Institute of Consulting. She has worked across
the public, private and not-for-profit sectors and
currently focuses exclusively on Board level and CEO
clients in her coaching work.
Workshop 3
Coaching and Mentoring for Organisational
Objectives
Jan Bowen-Nielsen
In this workshop, Jan Bowen-Nielsen will explore how
to take coaching and mentoring from ‘just’ a set of
discrete 1:1 conversations, supporting individual
development, to a managed set of goal orientated
interventions across a number of people in an
organisation.
Jan will explore both the practical aspects of
coordinating and managing many coaching
conversations, so they together support wider
organisational aims, as well as the challenges of
confidentially, extracting learning and influencing
coaching conversations from a programme
management perspective.
About the workshop presenter
Jan has 15 years’ successful senior
management experience from bluechip corporations in the UK,
Denmark and USA, including a CEO
role in an international US-based
organisation, and 15 years as an
executive coach and management
consultant. Jan has particular
expertise in change leadership and
building high performing leadership
teams, both from executive and consultancy roles.
Jan is the founder of Quiver Management, a coaching
centred consultancy at the cutting edge of using
coaching within organisations to support change and
increase performance in large corporate and public
sector organisations.
Jan is an experienced executive coach, and has
coached in excess of 50 senior executives in FTSE 100
companies and large public sector organisations. He is
on the Advisory Board of EMCC UK and regularly
speaks at industry events.
Workshop 4
Developing Reflective and Reflexive Practice in
Coaching
Jeff Matthews
One to one coaching is largely an intuitive process,
informed by techniques and skills learned over a career
and enhanced by specific training.
Our ability to reflect on that practice, frequently after the
event, is a key skill of the coaching professional. This
requires us not only to be reflective, to be able recall,
but also to be reflexive, to be introspective of the
exchanges we have had with our client enabling us to
study our thoughts, motives, feelings, assumptions and
actions and see how they affected the interaction.
In this workshop, we will use Peter Hawkins 7i model to
understand the client / coach / supervisor system.
Then, in a very practical session, use it to deepen and
further develop our reflections and reflexivity with our
clients.
To that end, it would be helpful if you were able to
“bring” one of your clients with you, by which I mean
select an appraisee and your interactions with them that
you believe would be helpful to reflect upon.
About the workshop presenter
Jeff has over 25 years’ experience as a coach,
facilitator, trainer and coaching supervisor. He has a
very wide range of clients both in the UK and Europe,
including extensive experience in the NHS.
He has supported the development of coaching and GP
appraisal practise in Peterborough and Cambridge
working closely with Dr’s Ruth Bastable and Sarah
Rann, through their organisation AKESO for over 5
years. He is a member of APECS, EMCC, AoC and is a
fully qualified coach supervisor, developing and training
coaches to Masters level.
Workshop 5
Coaching or Mentoring - which is the best
option for you?
Chris Birbeck
When you feel that you need some support or
development with an issue which is affecting you, it can
be confusing to decide whether coaching or mentoring
is what you want. This interactive session will give you
clarity on the differences and the similarities between
the two approaches and also an opportunity to work
with colleagues to experience coaching and mentoring,
in the moment.
In this relaxed and informative session participants will
receive some useful information to take away and share
with colleagues.
About the workshop presenter
As an experienced executive
coach, Chris has supported the
development of a range of
leaders including Board members
and senior clinical leaders. These
coaching relationships have
resulted in positive outcomes for
his clients which have included
promotions, increased personal
resilience and better team and
organisational effectiveness.
Chris has also developed his coaching skills as a Team
Coach and as a Supervisor of Coaches. He was
awarded the NHS Leadership Academy Coach/Mentor
of the Year in 2014 (EoE).
