Stepping into Coaching

Based on the work by Harvard educationalist and tennis expert Timothy Gallwey, who introduced a whole new paradigm with his book titled “The Inner Game of Tennis”, true coaching is based on the belief that, “the opponent within one’s head is more formidable than the one on the other side of the net”. Gallwey went onto claim that if a coach can help a player to remove or reduce the internal obstacles to his performance, an unexpected natural ability to learn and to perform will occur without the need for much technical input from the coach.

How does a coach go about doing this? How does he or she create an environment of trust that allows such conversations to happen? How does she ensure that the coachee takes the responsibility for the outcome? And how does she ensure that the coachee succeeds? (Afterall, the coaching is considered successful only if a coachee succeeds). And what are the internal and external barriers to coaching?

Through an immersive workshop experience that involves a mixture of introspection, discussion, debate, sharing of experiences, stories from around the world, experiential activities, role plays and Coaching circles, FocusU brings to life this powerful paradigm – to make a difference to all participants who embark on mastering this important aspect of Leadership.
