ICF Core Competency 2: The Coaching Mindset

Welcome to inviteCHANGE! In this episode, Janet M. Harvey shares invaluable insights on Core Competency 2 – Coaching Mindset. Drawing from her decade-long experience writing the Coaching Mastery column for Choice Magazine, Janet delves into what truly matters in coaching. Join us as we explore the intrinsic nature of the coaching mindset. Janet emphasizes the importance of understanding who we are as coaches, how we show up, and the way we interact with our clients. This episode challenges you to reflect on your own definition of mindset and then expand it within the context of coaching. Janet discusses the role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in our neurophysiology and how it influences our behavior, making change a challenging yet essential process. She introduces the concept of being client-centered and how asking artful questions can uncover unconscious habits and preferences in clients. The goal is to replace stress and uncertainty with a sense of resource by activating the RAS to signal the body's readiness for change. Janet also touches on the significance of reflective practices for coaches. By journaling with intention and exploring what drives our behaviors and choices, coaches can enhance their growth and provide higher quality professional coaching. She shares a mentor coaching experience to illustrate how mental and emotional preparation can impact a session and the importance of maintaining focus to seize every coaching opportunity.
