Have you noticed that sometimes conversations seem to flow easily whereas other times it feels like a struggle? 🤯

Maybe speaking to certain people, in certain situations, or about certain topics...

➡️ causes you to feel less relaxed and calm...

➡️ and you find yourself blurting out something you don't mean, or your mind goes blank and you can't think of the words at all.

Being able to recognise your natural stress responses - fight/flight/freeze/fawn - is key here.

Because understanding the patterns you may be slipping into when conversations feel more difficult is the first step towards change.

Communication Coaching helps you...

✨ deepen your awareness of the communication patterns keeping you stuck, so that you're ready to break out of these habits and take action

✨ learn personalised tips, techniques and strategies to expand your window of tolerance

✨ this means you can approach all conversations feeling calm, confident and able to present the best version of yourself

This one's for the speechies! 💬

I delivered a presentation this week - 'Using a Coaching Approach in Speech and Language Therapy' to a group of independent SLTs.

The recorded session and slides are available for download at a bargain price of £15!

This is for you if:

✨ You’re noticing everyone seems to be calling themselves a ‘coach’ these days - you’re keen to uncover what this means, and how you can use a coaching approach with your clients.

✨ You want to develop your skills in bringing a person-centred, holistic and collaborative approach into all stages of your clients’ journeys, from goal setting and assessment to discharge.

✨ You want to gain confidence in moving away from overly structured session plans and worksheets, ensuring that you’re targeting what really matters to your client.

(NB. this is more specifically targeted at SLTs working with adults/young people rather than children!)

👀 What’s inside?

✨ We explore: What is coaching? How does it compare and contrast to other interventions and approaches?

✨ Practical examples of how you can use a coaching approach with your clients, including for those with aphasia, cognitive-communication disorder, functional neurological disorder, stammering, voice disorders, social anxiety and more

🎉 Here is some feedback from those that attended the session:

“This was brilliant - I really liked the practical examples and templates that will help me apply these techniques straight away”

“This was great for helping work out what matters most to our clients, and putting their communication goals into that context”

“This has really opened up my eyes, it helped to break things down clearly in an accessible way”

“We all know we want to help a client find their own answers but it can be hard to pull that from them, this has given me some new tools to use”

“This has given me ideas to help define SMART goals, particularly for those clients who 'just want to speak better'”
