BREAKING NEWS: While #NSFAS students are locked out of accomodation due to subsidy cut, management has grand offices and contracts are awarded for bank cards that will benefit service providers, NOT students.
NSFAS, what are you doing with student funds?https://t.co/oUWWOUXZ9l

SOUND ON: Motorists supporting our #bridgebrigade this morning. RT if you agree.

[Bruce Whitfield @brucebusiness]

Agree wholeheartedly. This isn’t the f*****g Oscars.

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

@NIVASHAGOVENDE3 @TAKEALOT @Vitality_SA Yes me too. Same issue

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

@sacapedu Thanks for making this happen @sacapedu. All the best to the coaches-in-waiting who have been following this Twitter Talk #CoachingCareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A9 - (1) striving gets in the way of contentment, and (2) get out of the way...be the guide on the side, not the sage on the stage #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A8 - individual coaching / group coaching / team coaching can be useful interventions where traditional training has been exhausted. By definition it is bespoke and therefore deeply impactful. Companies that see this value will allocate training budget #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A7 - (1) be visible to build your profile..attend COMENSA and/or ICF events (2) obtain a coaching qualification that is recognised and respected, (3) start coaching as a side-hustle and then transition when you gain adequate momentum #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A6 - patience, political savvy, deep curiosity, rapport-building, relentless self-development, worldliness, cutural sensitivity, versatility, flexibility, running your coaching practice as a professional #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A5 - corporates who pay for coaching typically want business coaching, not life coaching that they are sponsoring #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A5 - it can certainly be helpful, I don't feel it is essential. Curiosity about other humans and their worldview and also a broad understanding of market conditions and sector-specific challenges can add more value #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

@PaulaQuinsee Agree 100% #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A4 - building your brand to the point where the work starts to find you; working well with other coaches on bigger engagements; being good at the admin of running a coaching practice; being visible and networking #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

A4 - consistent work pipeline (this work can be feast or famine); transitioning from being paid to provide solutions and answers to facilitating the coachee's thinking with impartiality #coachingcareer

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

#coachingcareer A3 - I agree with Natalie...take the time to understand the context and the broader system...you are not just coaching the individual in isolation

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

#coachingcareer A3 - listening to understand, not to reply; letting go of the need to know first or know best; unwavering belief in unseen potential; the ability to challenge and have tough conversations; diplomacy; humility; kindness; business acumen

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

#coachingcareer A2 - specialisations such as career coaching (helping people to find their right career), retirement readiness coaching, wellness coaching, relationship coaching (couples), team coaching (coaching the intact team simulaneously)

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

#coachingcareer A1 - HR and L&D people are much more familiar with coaching and I am seeing people who are more junior receiving coahcing, not just the execs

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

#coachingcareer A1 - I am seeing a broader adoption of coaching across almost all industries. Budget is the biggest determinant of coaching rollout

[Robert Farndell @robfarndell]

#coachingcareer Looking forward to this session
