Action Learning for Climate Coaching

As established or aspiring climate coaches, we all experience deep emotions and face challenges. This 2-hour thinking space allows for deep care, attention, learning and connection to address the challenges we face in moving forward with our most effective coaching for the climate.

In this 2-hour session, we’ll follow a 6-step process called Action Learning – topic description, clarification, open questions, action plan, reflections, closing.

With 5 years practice of Action Learning sets within the United Nations, and as a trained supervisor, I am using a methodology that is inspired by various schools. I introduced it to my CCA book circle group, and they love it! I am looking forward to running it again.

As a group, we will choose one participant’s topic to practice. The participant whose topic is chosen takes the role of a client and the other participants play the role of coaches or peers. Cases discussed are real, important to the “client”, centred on them. The session is run in a spirit of confidentiality, curiosity, openness, generosity and is limited to 4 to 8 participants plus me, Claire d’Aboville, as the facilitator.

We will run this process twice, therefore discussing two topics.

Please come prepared with a topic you would like to discuss and be ready to accept that maybe your topic will not be discussed. You need to be present for the full 2 hours.

In this 2-hour session you will experience:

Strong connection with other participants
Support to solve challenges (yours and others) specific to climate coaching
A supportive learning environment where we can practice openness and curiosity
A tool for coaches
This is for you if:

You are already engaged in Climate Coaching in some form
You are considering becoming a Climate Coach
You feel connected to the cause but not sure how to engage
Event limited to 8 places. If you book a place and later can’t come, please contact me so someone else can benefit.
