171 Coaching and Neurodiversity

In this episode we explore the growing importance of coaching neurodivergent clients.

The reason we're bringing this topic to you is because you will, if you're coaching clients, be coaching neurodivergent clients, those that know they're neurodivergent and those that don't. You yourself may be neurodivergent or you may not know that you're neurodivergent. And it's a topic which has been growing in awareness and importance through the coaching industry and we wanted to hold some space for that.

In this episode w share personal insights, practical strategies, and the importance of understanding neurodivergence both in coaching relationships and personal contexts.

With increasing awareness, we emphasise the need to create inclusive, accessible coaching spaces that celebrate the strengths of neurodivergent individuals while addressing their challenges.

Listeners will learn:

• The role of executive functioning in neurodivergent experiences.
• Why flexibility and curiosity are key when coaching neurodivergent clients.
• How coaching neurodivergent populations enhances coaching skills for all clients.

The episode also highlights the importance of education, breaking down biases, and co-creating a supportive space for neurodivergent individuals to thrive.

Keywords:
Coaching and neurodiversity, neurodivergent clients, executive functioning coaching, inclusive coaching practices, ADHD coaching, autism and coaching, coaching program for neurodivergence, creating inclusive spaces, coaching for executive dysfunction, supporting neurodivergent individuals.

170 Great Mentors are Great Coaches

We often discuss how mentoring and coaching are two very different and distinct disciplines/conversations and how the two play very diverse roles in leadership.

However, in this episode we explore the similarities of coaching and mentoring and how your mentoring conversations can be improved by incorporating some of the key coaching skills.

Mentoring is often an overlooked and undervalued skill in leadership and coaching. In this episode we look to change this mindset and highlight the benefits of mentoring and how to ensure that our mentoring has the greatest possible impact.

One of the many challenges with coaching and mentoring is knowing when to coach and when to mentor. Very few understand that many of the coaching skills, which we share in our coaching courses, are useful in your mentoring conversations.

If you are a leader looking to demystify the difference between mentoring and coaching and how to improve your mentoring to better support your team or mentees, this is the episode for you!
