In this ¾ hour seminar, we learned key strategies to help your coachee or mentee overcome barriers to confidence. We explored factors that lead to a loss of confidence and discussed techniques for promoting self-compassion and strength-based growth.

In this 45-minute seminar, we explored how to address Imposter Syndrome (IS) through coaching and Positive Psychology. Focusing on key concepts like the Dunning-Kruger Effect and the neuroscience behind IS, we discussed how IS manifests through behaviours such as People Pleasing, Perfectionism, Paralysis, and Procrastination (the 4 P’s). Participants also explored how to leverage personal strengths to counteract IS and foster success in coaching and mentoring roles. By the end of this talk, participants have: • Gained an understanding of the Dunning-Kruger Effect and its impact on IS. • Discussed the neuroscience of IS and the influence of the 4 P’s. • Explored how the 4 P’s of IS affect personal and professional life. • Discussed role diversity, inclusion, and their effect on success and leadership. • Developed strategies to apply personal strengths to mitigate feelings of IS.

In this ¾hr seminar, we will examine a specific strengths identification tool and present a case study where this was used in a marketing team, together with pitfalls and positives. The learning from this example, could help those working in teams utilise this strengths identification tool, or similar, to maximise individual energy and workload. In this session, the following will be discussed: - The strengths tool used to identify individual strengths - How these individual strengths were then collated and cross-matched for the team - The subsequent workshops held - The positive outcomes - The challenges - What could have been done differently?

In this ¾hr seminar, we will revisit the Positive Psychology (PP) movement that was touched on previously with those who participated in the Coaching in Higher Education Foundation Level programme. We will discuss some exciting new ways of bringing PP principles into group settings and the implications for Higher Education Coaching and Mentoring. In this session, the following will be discussed: - Tips to successfully teach PP in group settings - Potential barriers to successfully teaching PP in groups settings - PP in hope therapy - PP Intervention using photographs - Using strengths in different ways - meeting others with similar strengths - Decoding emotions by analysing speech, body, and face - Silent gratitude mapping.
