Feedback from November event – Debunking the myths on Perfectionism and Self Compassion with Sanela Lukanovic and Nicola Arnold:
Sanela and Nicola sharing their stories at the start, and meeting other coaches and getting into interesting conversation beforehand.
Both speakers were great.  I think a little less could have been covered giving more impact.  I enjoyed the takeaways we managed to get in the time, impressive. Thank you both.
Very useful and relevant topic.  Warm presentation style.

LCG AUGUST 2018 Newsletter

Dear All,

On Tuesday 24th July, Dara Caryotis delivered an original and interesting workshop on Compassionate, Creative and Courageous Coaching. There was a deep dive into how we can tap into our innate intelligence of their head, heart, and gut, and Dara facilitated discussion around what type of leaders predominantly think with each of them. We heard how the latest research from the fields of neuroscience, positive psychology and behavioural modelling have shaped theory in mBraining, and we witnessed first-hand (using biofeedback technology) how someone’s heartrate can be impacted through questions and changes to our external environment. Thanks to Dara for talking on such an interesting and emerging subject.         

Some Tweets from the night:

LCG JULY 2018 Newsletter

Dear All,

On Tuesday 26th June Hilary Oliver and Tracy Sinclair delivered an excellent workshop entitled Building a Coaching Culture for Greater Engagement and Lasting Outcomes. The session was informative and interactive and left the participants with much food for thought. It was great to learn from such experts in the field of coaching. All the case studies can be found on the ICF website and do remember check out the ICF Prism Awards where organisations are celebrated for the positive impact(s) of truly embedding and developing a coaching culture. 
            
Some Feedback from the night:
Interaction with others and between the speakers

Clarity of presentation. Warm, engaging and inspiring presenters. Ideas to take forward. Opportunities to share ideas

Really interesting to reflect on the difference between simply having coaches in an organisation versus creating a coaching culture

Making us work in groups was a great way for us to share ideas, I got so much from the other delegates to compliment what I got from the speaker

LCG JUNE 2018 Newsletter

Dear All,

On Tuesday 22nd May, Michelle Lucas ran a fascinating session exploring what individual characteristics come together to make us the type of coach we are. This interactive session made use of the childhood game ‘Misfits’, with all participants creating a visual representation of each of us a coach through piecing together different characters’ body parts. We discussed the similarities and differences across how we saw ourselves, and discussed how this exercise could be done with our clients to work out what kind of leader or what type of employee they saw themselves as.  Thanks again to Michelle for delivering a fun session.       

Some Tweets from the night:
Loving our coaching styles narratives @LondonCoachGrp using these parts and being inspired to use the game for #team #coaching
Playful evening with @LondonCoachGrp, lightness of humour and depth of thinking, thank you Michelle Lucas and fellow coaches

Feedback from April event – Resourcing the Supervisee - Supervision in a Thinking Environment with Linda Aspey 
It was good to be able to try out what we had learnt from the demo.  Afterwards I was very aware of less is more
She was fantastic
Always worth time with Linda, know her subject very well, and imparts it even better

Forthcoming event: 
Tuesday 26 June 2018  (18H15 Networking – 18H30-20H00 Session)
Building a Coaching Culture for Greater Engagement with Hilary Oliver and Tracy Sinclair

In this interactive session, Hilary and Tracy will discuss what it takes to build a strong culture in organisations that can improve both employee engagement and financial performance.  They will utilise current research gathered by ICF and Price Waterhouse Cooper and will use case studies from the 2017 International Prism Awards as examples of both how cultures are created and the impact they can have on organisations.  Working in pairs/small groups, participants will be invited to think about the organisations they coach in or wish to coach in and how this research and information would support those organisations in developing coaching cultures and some of the benefits of doing so, with a view to starting to work on a model of excellence for their clients.
Book Here for Hilary Oliver and Tracy Sinclair
 
Change to Evening Event Timings: Please note that from June 2018 the main workshop sessions will commence at the slightly earlier time of 18.30 finishing at 20:00.  There will continue to be networking beforehand from 18.15 with further time still available for the networking after the session.

Dear All,

On Tuesday 24^th April Linda Aspey delivered an inspiring session on Supervising in a Thinking Environment, using concepts from Nancy Kline’s work to offer a new perspective on supervision. Linda emphasised the importance of the intention behind our attention, and put forward the point that we as coaches as supervisors add more value through our attention than we do out input. Thanks for Linda for delivering an interactive and thought-provoking event.
