Ian will discuss the principles that underpin Challenging Coaching detailing the FACTS Coaching model. This provides a practical and pragmatic approach focusing on Feedback, Accountability, Courageous goals, Tension, and Systems thinking.

This workshop will focus on two specific areas and be an interactive experience:

• Balancing support and challenge in a coaching relationship to create sustained change.
• Courageous Goals (the ‘C’ of FACTS) to move beyond traditional incremental SMART goals and set courageous goals that are transformational.
