One initial scoping session of approximately two hours during which the focus for the coaching is discussed and agreed. The use of appropriate diagnostic tools may also be discussed during this session. 2. Four coaching sessions of one and a half hours, working on the issues as discussed during the scoping session. These are very flexible sessions and the focus for the coaching may be constantly reviewed and adapted to best meet the client s needs. 3. One review session of approximately two hours during which progress is evaluated and ongoing action is agreed. Summary The coaching programme will take place over an agreed timeframe e.g. 6 months. The programme remains flexible at all times and the sessions are shaped according to time constraints. It can therefore be a good approach for those with diary pressures. The coaching sessions are confidential between the coach and the coachee, with only pre-agreed information being reviewed with the client where the client is an organisation. Depending upon the situation, we may also include one of a wide range of diagnostic tools in order to develop the most effective strategy.

5 Shadow coaching Individuals will work with a dedicated coach using the shadow coaching process as outlined below: 1. A scoping session of approximately two hours to explore the potential issues and areas for the focus of the shadowing. During this session the nature of the shadowing will be discussed and agreed. 2. Shadowing of the individual by the coach as agreed, for example observing them during two separate meetings with different clients or following the individual for a whole day. The coach may play the role of observer and may also ask questions at appropriate times. This is an intensive experience which reveals unconscious patterns of behaviour. 3. A feedback session of approximately three hours during which the coach will feedback on observed behaviours. A range of questioning and coaching techniques will be used to explore existing behaviours, underlying beliefs, values and strategies, enabling the individual to overcome any limitations. Summary Shadow coaching is a challenging experience. It is a very powerful tool for surfacing personal barriers which are blocking development for the individual. The coaching will take place over an agreed timeframe which is normally short and intensive e.g. one week from scoping session to feedback session. The coaching is flexible and is designed with the individual to meet their needs and requirements. The coaching sessions are confidential between the coach and the coachee, with only pre-agreed information being reviewed with the client where the client is an organisation.
