Nov 08, 2023 6:18 pm
Hey ,
Are you working with a family or a child who is struggling to make progress with their therapy or motivation around therapy goals?
Maybe it's a family dealing with so much stuff, you're all getting lost in the complexity,
Or maybe it's a family or child where you have a sense that you're not truly connecting like you usually do and you'd love an outside eye/ear to help you find the way into a better conversation that moves their therapy forward?
Or maybe you're just the type of person who loves to grab opportunities to improve your skills and wants to have a go at seeing what you can do differently in a coaching conversation?
Well now's your opportunity to take advantage of a laser coaching session with Dr Fi Graham. There's 3 different ways to do this and all you have to do is pick the one that you feel would be most effective for your specific situation.
Option 1 - Role play
Honestly, until you've done this once or twice yourself, you'll just have to take my word for how effective it can be in not only helping you figure out HOW to have a powerful conversation with a family that moves them forward, but also in giving you a different way of understanding the families perspective.
Here's how the role play laser coaching would work
- Provide a brief history of the family, child, issue that you are dealing with.
- You take on the role of the parent/child and Fi takes on your role
- You explore the situation and see where the conversation takes you
The role play scenario is the easiest option and a lot of fun
Option 2 - Recording
Record a coaching conversation with the parent or child in your usual setting and bring the recording to a laser coaching session for discussion. Dig into where the conversation with Fi to look at what went well, what didn't and how you could have shifted or changed things.
This feedback and reflection session is an incredibly powerful way to understand your own strengths and areas for change.
Option 3 - Coaching Session
There's always magic in watching the application of theoretical ideas into real clinical scenarios. If you have a family that's open to an online coaching session then this would be an amazing learning opportunity for all of us to see real coaching in action.
The coaching session could be the thing that makes everything click into place for one of your kids or families. Who could benefit from this opportunity?
