A coaching conversation is a special conversation. It is more than merely asking questions in order to help people find a solution. The late John Whitmore, who has been esteemed as the Father of Professional Coaching, has rightly pointed out that coaching is helping people to learn rather than teaching them. It is a co-creative process where people find the thinking space for reflection. In doing so, they gain a new understanding of their own experiences. This enables them to find new and innovative ways to take action and move forward. In this webinar, Dr Ben Koh and his global Faculty Team will answer the following questions: (1) How does one explain the proliferation of coaching in just the past ten years? (2) What are the key challenges with regard to the function and role of professional coaching today? (3) How can professional coaching add value to leadership development in corporate context?

Historically, coaching has been focused toward achieving improvement with respect to a specific behavioral performance. This involves promoting the development of that person's behavioral competence through careful observation and feedback and asking powerful question to stimulate critical thinking.

In recent years, the science of coaching has evolved and has expanded meaning. It goes beyond result optimization to achieve peak performance to guiding people towards deep learning. Impactful coaching that enable sustainable change is inherently a reflective process that involves people gaining awareness on how they regulate their thoughts, feelings and actions. 

In this webinar you will gain an insight on how coaching has evolved in the last 2 decades and how transformative coaching redefines what is Professional Coaching.
