The Exchange was founded in 2004 and is currently run by Monica Potts, Mark Bishop, Kathleen Sullivan and Susan Savery.

"What a pleasure it was to meet you last night and to talk to the London Coaching Exchange. During our email conversations prior to the meeting I got an impression of your being a very professional group of coaches and this impression was very much confirmed and magnified when I met you. As I said then, your approach to planning and structuring your meetings and the emphasis upon skills development and confidence building through exchanging your experiences and expertise with each other shows an immense commitment to personal and professional growth. I was very much impressed by this - and in addition to this high level of professionalism I was also struck by the warm welcome and enthusiasm you all offered me. What a lovely group of folk you have here!"

Gestalt Tools for Coaches

with

Edna Murdoch

Coaching Psychology brings to coaching, some of the most effective tools from established psychologies, in ways which support and deepen coaching competencies and models.

In this presentation, we will look at how coaches can use tools gathered from Gestalt Psychology. Gestalt means ‘whole’ and one of the aims of Gestalt work is to be able to look at all perspectives in a situation – or as many as we can - simultaneously.

The short paper which is available for this presentation outlines the way in which two practices central to gestalt work – 2-chair dialogue and working with objects – can be used by coach supervisors. Coaches use these tools in similar ways and through discussion and demonstration, Edna will support you to understand how to add these to your tool kit.

Be prepared for engaged and fun learning!

As normal, we kick off at 6:30pm and finish at 9pm. Entrance for this great evening will be £10 (£15 on the door) which will include a glass of wine..
