The Trauma Coaches Barter Coaching Circle

The coaching circle is for serious Trauma Informed Coaches looking to connect, support, and experience growth in a judgment-free zone. It is a collective whose purpose is to serve and support a growing Trauma Informed Coaching community for the betterment of not only serving clients but also building your coaching practice and/or business.

All coaching done in the circle should follow the → Code of Ethics ← as set by the ICF.

As a member of the circle you will be paired with both a coach and a client. You will meet with each separately once a week to coach and be coached over a 12 week schedule, thus simulating a 3 month coaching package.

This weekly schedule is decided by you and your coach/client. At the end of the 12 weeks you will be assigned a new coach and a new client to start all over again. This will include four (2) coaching circle cycles.

Masterminds will also be held to further share knowledge, practice our skills and learn from one other. They will follow the → Code of Ethics ← as set by the ICF as well.

Rules:

# 1. When being coached, come prepared with a topic: a real-life struggle or business challenge.

# 2.  As a client you are coached for 45- 50 minutes. This is followed by a 10-15 minute review of the session focusing on insights. You will verbalize:

○ How the coach helped you in the session (what shifted for you).
○ How the coach can further develop their skills, honing in on their strengths to gain confidence, and overcome their weaknesses.

→ GIVE AND RECEIVE QUALITY FEEDBACK ←

USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO:

• Build and/or streamline your work process and improve your workflow. This is a great way to see what works for your business and what does not.

• Sharpen your skills as a coach. This provides a unique opportunity to confidentially share your challenges, gain insight on issues, enabling you to explore potential solutions, and achieve better outcomes.

• Learn from your coaching colleagues. We are all students and teachers. The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose is to give it away.

• Build a team of colleagues you can confidently work with moving forward and refer clients to if outside of your scope of practice.

• Build your coaching hours. We barter coaching in this circle. Remember to track your coaching hours for ICF.
