New ReciproCoach 30min Session Round
Can you deliver a complete session in 30mins?
If you don't already regularly do 30min coaching sessions, or if you do and prefer to do 30min sessions rather than 1hr sessions, you'll love the new addition to the ReciproCoach coaching line-up... a round wherein all registered coaches coach for 30mins instead of an hour!
There are
three major advantages of practising coaching for 30mins instead of an hour:
1. Sessions take less time and cost clients less money, making coaching more affordable
2. Half hour sessions are easier to fit into busy schedules than one hour sessions
3. When you go to get certified you'll be used to the 30min cap (more detail below)
If you're going for
IAC certification, the session recordings you provide must be 30mins (and not a minute longer) and in 30mins, you are expected to demonstrate all of the
IAC Masteries. In addition, although the
ICF accepts a session recording of up to 1 hour, in the live oral exam you still need to demonstrate your coaching skills in half an hour.
Therefore, if, like me, you were trained to give one hour sessions and perhaps even then run over time (?!), you can
expand your coaching repertoire and prepare for certification by joining the new 30min Session Round.
Similarly, if you
already do and prefer 30min sessions over one hour sessions, then this is the round for you. You'll be more comfortable in this round and you'll be a great model for those of us who are used to doing 1hr sessions... reciprocal peer learning again!
Lastly, if you're a bit
strapped for time and haven't had 16 hours to commit to our usual hour-based rounds, our new 30min Session Round will be much easier to work into your schedule and will give you the chance to participate.
The first 30min Session Round starts on August 18 and registrations are open until August 15. To register, login to the members area and go to COACHING >>> REGISTER. You'll see it in the list and just need to click on "Register now".
Our first 30mins Session Round will be a trial. If it's popular enough we'll create a system especially to run it (right now our system is based on 1 hour sessions). So if you'd like ReciproCoach to have regular opportunities for 30min Session Rounds, join this one and show us that this is something you want.
