As a consequence of rapid societal changes third generation coaching goes beyond earlier coaching practices by emphasizing a focus on identity, values and ethical reflections and by integrating the experiential and subjective-existential dimension with the relational, narrative and discursive.
Third generation coaching is - beside others - inspired by narrative-collaborative practice, positive psychology, philosophy and ethics. Intertwined with the social and cultural conditions of late modern society, problematic experiences or events are reframed by unfolding alterative narratives, on ethical reflections and on the process of co-creation between coach and coachee(s).
This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to explore this new approach to coaching psychology in theory and practice. Participants will also experience Third Generation Coaching in small exercises, group work and through a demonstration session. Finally, participants are invited to reflect on practical applications for their own coaching practice.
Main objectives of the workshop:
Integrate coaching practice as part of changes in society.
Become aware of the three generations or fundamental perspectives of coaching.
Become familiar with the basic principles of Third Generation Coaching.
Apply these principles to one’s own coaching practice.
