INNOVATION COACHING
INNOVATION COACHING INVOLVES INSPIRING, SUPPORTING & COACHING INDIVIDUALS & TEAMS
By adapting, learning and growing through chaos and disruption. It involves nurturing people’s mental toughness and emotional agility, to be agile and speed up decision-making to embed innovation-led and transformational changes, in leaders, teams, and organisations.
Innovation coaching involves facilitating candid, disruptive, and provocative, creative coaching conversations; a generative process within a safe container, and holding space in which individuals, teams, organisations, learn and grow to become agile, adaptive, creative, inventive, innovative.
JANET'S APPROACH
Innovation coaching evokes new ways of knowing and being through integrating deep learning, leadership and coaching.
Innovation coaching builds people’s confidence, competence, and enhances their capacity to safely shake up and challenge the status quo, to reset, rescale, and reactivate their personal and business growth in the post-COVID-19 world, in ways where people matter and innovation is the norm.
Innovation coaches are trained to develop subtle skillsets and develop stances as teachers, coaches, mentors, and transformers who are trained to work with innovation, creativity, and consciousness as co-creative frequencies.
Innovation coaching compels, enables, and empowers people to think, talk, act and team differently.
To lean into the transformational powers of innovation, lean start-up methodologies, and human-centered design thinking within an emergent context.
It involves generative listening and inquiring, by asking powerful and disruptive questions to disrupt, provocate, differ and generate creative conversations that:
Ignite, unleash and pull people towards anti-conventional, creative, and inventive ways of being, thinking, and behaving.
- Evoke and learn new ways of being and knowing, to connect, explore, discover, design, and deliver your desired commercial outcomes.
“Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don’t have to do anything else. We don’t have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.” – Margaret J. Wheatley
