Janine Waldman & Abi Boughton Thomas: To advise or not to advise SF2426

Описание: Janine Waldman, Abi Boughton-Thomas, To advise or not to advise? That is the question

Facilitated conversation and interactive workshop

Ever found yourself wanting to share your knowledge, experience and insights with your coaching and supervision clients? Solution Focused practice leans towards being the guide on the side rather than the sage on the stage, holding the space for others to do their best thinking. Yet in some contexts sharing our wisdom is tempting, perhaps even necessary.

In this interactive session participants will:

*Reflect on habits and assumptions around knowledge sharing

*Explore when it may, or may not, be useful to share advice

*Practise approaches for offering input in ways that keep agency with the other person
