TRAINING DETAILS: 

 

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought- provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” Moreover, coaching is an ongoing client-driven process, centered on solution- oriented interactions designed to increase awareness, build capacity, and achieve desired growth. To achieve these goals, coaches must approach their work with clients with the recognition that most of their clients have been impacted by trauma at some point in their life. In this session, we will discuss how trauma impacts the brain and the implications this has for us as coaches.

 

Partcipants will be able to:

  • Describe how trauma affects the brain and its functioning
  • Identify how trauma shows up in a coaching session
  • Apply research-based techniques to redirect clients when trauma arises in a coaching session
  • Describe how the benefits of a trauma informed coaching culture impacts the organization

 

Who Should Attend: Leaders of family resource centers (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.

La Federación Internacional de Coaching define el coaching como “la colaboración con los clientes en un proceso creativo y estimulante que les inspira para alcanzar su máximo potencial personal y profesional”. Además, el coaching es un proceso continuo impulsado por el cliente, centrado en interacciones orientadas a la búsqueda de soluciones y diseñadas para aumentar la conciencia, desarrollar capacidades y lograr el crecimiento deseado. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, los entrenadores (coaches) deben realizar su trabajo con los clientes reconociendo que la mayoría de ellos han sufrido algún tipo de trauma en algún momento de su vida. En esta sesión, analizaremos cómo afecta el trauma al cerebro y qué implicaciones tiene para nosotros como entrenadores.

 

Los participantes podrán:

  • Describir cómo el trauma afecta al cerebro y a su funcionamiento
  • Identificarán cómo se manifiesta el trauma en una sesión de coaching
  • Aplicar técnicas basadas en la investigación para redirigir a los clientes cuando el trauma surja en una sesión de coaching
  • Explicar cómo repercuten en la organización los beneficios de una cultura de coaching informada sobre el trauma
