On Monday the 8th February I am delivering a Coaching Workshop for Instructors. If it runs like it did last year I will spend around two hours showing instructors which parts of there current practice is ‘coaching’ and help them to develop some more robust practices in skill aquisition.
As well as talking about the effects of anxiety on learning, and ways to combat this through a progressive approach to building confidence. If you are interested in attending this workshop then contact the Beacon Climbing Centre, I think these sessions are free to local instructors, but ask at the Beacon.
The beacon runs a series of evening courses for instructors, and make excellent forms of continuing professional development. If you are reading this and helped me out on my research project don’t worry I haven’t forgot about you I am in the process of setting a date for a coaching session for you guys, it will probably be Saturday 20th Feb.
