What is Shadow Coaching?™
Shadow Coaching™ is a particular advanced application of reflective and observational coaching that provides one way for clients to
go below the surface into the core dynamics of a situation, illuminating the truth of the moment and making decisions that move people
forward.
Shadow Coaching™ is a real time learning approach in developing a refined self-awareness and capabilities in the workplace
as a result of reflection on practice. It enables people, not only to benefit from the continuous presence of an observing coach over
an extended period of time in a typical set of workdays, but also develops their own role as self-observer for the long term. It teaches
clients to become reflective practitioners.
This type of coaching is ideally suited to organizational leaders who must make decisions
and act adaptively in intense work environments. Shadow coaching involves partnering with clients in their work environments and brings
another experienced and fresh perspective that helps to identify problematic dynamics, work habits and assumptions that impede effectiveness.
Within Shadow Coaching™ is the competency of Laser Coaching™ which involves being able to provoke the leader’s awareness of these
problematic features in ways that they can be addressed immediately. It goes beyond support to problem solving.
Shadow
Coaching™ attends to the individual, social, relational and environmental aspects of the client's ‘world’. The Shadow Coach coaches
