This sessions brings together the worlds of Clinical Psychology and Organisational Behaviour. Research shows we can ‘cognitively and intellectually’ understand the benefits of behavioural change goal and desire it but nevertheless struggle to make that change – a state entitled ‘reflexive hindering’ in a recent Phd thesis. Hilary describes how some of her clients experienced such ‘blockers’ when coaching for Emotional Intelligence and how Ashleigh brought her Clinical Psychology knowledge and experience to create a joint coaching offering. Compassion Focussed Coaching. Using Compassionate Mind Training models has enhanced the deconstruction of ‘blockers’ and assisted the re-balancing of self-beliefs and perceptions of others. Hilary and Ashleigh also designed an audio/video intervention that clients used between sessions. Their hypothesis being, such ‘Calm the Mind’ training will enhance performance and mood balance.
