The Buddy Coaching community is a group of established and new coaches all interested in developing their client handling skills, refining their professional presentation and continuing their professional development. Entrance is by application only to ensure we maintain professional standards within the community.
The Buddy Coaching programme is a six week exchange of session with a clear schedule, an agenda, guidelines, reflective practice processes, and structured feedback. The process will guide you in a structured but relaxed way, ensuring smooth and efficient delivery, and that a complete piece of work is performed.
Following a selection process, you and your Buddy Coach will make arrangements, following the process guidelines and run a series of sessions with three devoted to you as client, bringing a real and meaningful coaching matter to the table, and three sessions devoted to you coaching your Buddy Coach.
Every session has prerequisite preparation work for the coach, as well as the client, and includes structured feedback to help you develop and improve your coaching skills.
The process is designed so that you may go through as many separate rounds of Buddy Coaching as you wish. The only other constraint is that once you have worked with a coach in Buddy Coaching; you must choose other coaches for successive rounds.
Some use the Buddy Coaching community as a way to raise the number of client contact hours they have booked; others choose to use it as an enjoyable yet focused way to explore and improve mastery of new techniques and methods; others use it as cost effective alternative to a private coaching arrangement; still others use it as a venue for experimenting with a fresh approach.
The call for professionalism, and the standard demanded from you, is the same as in private practice. The distinct elements of the CoachingCloud Buddy Coaching process all contribute to the results you're able achieve. It is designed as a complete process to ensure that all the boxes are ticked to provide adequate context and data for effective self-reflective learning to occur, while at the same time, ensuring a structured, safe process that demands strong goal focus with a result-driven orientation.
In other approaches to co-coaching you only have you and the other coach, but the Buddy Coaching Community puts the power of CoachingCloud behind you. Not only do you have the world's best app where you can book, manage, and run your client practice, but guiding you through the process you have input from some of the world's most experienced international coaches, whose depth of knowledge and experience can't be matched.
As you experience working with different coaching partners, over a range of Buddy Coaching sets, you will be able to leverage the abilities of a wide variety of coaches, with different experience, competencies and ranges. Your "clinical nous" will improve, and your knowledge and facility in drawing out and applying feedback to create client-driven changes in your practice (leading to greater marketability and profit) will jump.
