Coaching

A more effective way of working with young people

A more effective way of working with young people

At The Foyer Federation, we see coaching as conversations with purpose that raise awareness and responsibility around a person’s core values and aspirations in their own context. Done well, coaching can provide people with the tools and confidence they need to forge their own path and realise their potential.

Do you have new team members who would benefit from growing their toolkit of techniques? Are you looking to shake up the way 1-2-1s are managed to put more agency into young people’s hands? If so, then our Coaching training is for you.

Overview:

Our coaching training gives teams an insight into the benefits of coaching as an Advantaged Thinking way to work with people. We unpack relevant theory, share examples of good coaching in practice, and provide space for staff to develop coaching techniques with guidance from our training team.

Objectives:

  • Understanding the fundamental theories of a coaching approach
  • Confidence in knowing when to coach and when to support
  • Practice using key skills including active listening, asking open questions and showing positive regard
  • Awareness of the need to gain permission (and how!) and the power of coaching to values.

“It really works. The day after the training I made sure that I had more of a coaching conversation with a young person at our service and she really opened up when I used the coaching method.”
