Episode #147 - Coaching Approaches: Strengths Coaching

When coachees are facing difficulties in their work or home lives it's easy for them to spend their time in the coaching room in problem-talk. They often speak from a place of helplessness and a lack of resources. Using a strengths based approach can allow a coachee to connect with their own inner resources, and some external resources too, to allow them to think through their situation, find their own solution and move forward.

In this episode we explore what a strengths approach looks like, what tools are useful in drawing out someone's strengths and when it might be useful to engage with this approach.
