Parenting with a Coaching Mindset Webinars

by | Apr 20, 2020

Taking up the role of a parent is probably one of the most crucial roles that an individual can play. It is Coacharya’s belief that coaching can be an effective tool that parents can use to raise their children. Using coaching concepts like ‘partnering’, ‘self-coaching’, ‘powerful questioning’, ‘unconditional positive regard’, and ‘generative listening’ can do wonders in building strong and healthy relationships with children.

So, in order to help parents and carers explore how to apply coaching concepts to their day to day interactions with children, Coacharya is starting this webinar series on ‘Parenting with a Coaching Mindset’. We’re inviting experts in parenting, coaches with an interest in parenting, parent professionals and any awesome parents out there to share their experiences, insights and successful techniques. These webinars will be held weekly during April and May, every Thursday.

 

About the Facilitator:

This series will be led by Youth Mentor and Coach, Leah Black. She is a Level 7 JNC qualified youth and community practitioner, dedicated to inspiring and empowering the next generations. Leah’s been working with young people, 11-25+ years old, for 15 years in the UK, as well as in Ecuador, Zambia, Kenya and Uganda. Her passion lies in youth mentoring, coaching and training to help young people find their potential and gain the confidence to achieve. Leah has worked in the charitable, local authority and education sectors and has gained a lot of experience working with young people in a variety of roles and locations. She is also the founder of The Youth Mentor Coach. Her approach to youth work combines coaching, mentoring, peer support and non-formal education. She has also supervised many students on placements and delivered group peer supervision for staff that worked with under 18s. Leah now travels across the world with her work, both physically and online, to help develop young people and youth leaders. Having faced many challenges in her teen and younger years, Leah strongly believes that core life and social skills should be integrated into global mainstream education and youth work to help young people in their personal and professional development. She strives to prepare future generations to be the best they can be for themselves, for others and for the world; enabling young people to feel that they belong, can lead and be heard, succeed and thrive.
