This is a Foundation Level e-learning programme which can be accessed as a stand alone (accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council as CPD only) or as part of an accredited coach training package. When you access this e-learning as a stand alone product the price includes access to the beginner e-learning. Once you have paid you will be contacted with a code for the beginner e-learning. You will also receive a hard copy of the programme manual and of ‘all emotions are OK’ by post if you reside in the UK. For those of you who wish to train as a Foundation Level Mindful Emotion Coach and access one to one online coaching mentoring click this link. For those of you registered to train with EHCAP you will be contacted by Sarah. If you are registered with HOPE you will be contacted by Rachel.
The approach in terms of connections with other people can be summarised with the acronym MEC:
- M: Mindful preparation of self as the coach, tuning in, self care.
- E: Engage emotionally, connect, pause to ‘be with’ a person in their thoughts and feelings as together you:
- formulate a coaching agreement that is motivating and helpful
- compassionately use psycho-education tools such as the biology of stress and EHCAP’s adaptation of The Hand Model to build skills in emotion literacy, executive function and self management
- normalise the science of why some people may be particularly sensitive to their environment and to stress in their environment.
- C: Crunch time – asking questions that stimulate thinking, goal setting, problem solving together and, where necessary, limit setting. At this point you may want to look at other coaching models and begin to create your own way of asking questions – see lesson 7 in this module for some ideas.
