Workshop topics
REACH©
The REACH© coaching model is a proprietary coaching conversation model developed by the RTO FIRE UP Coaching to meet the needs of a large client in the Health sector who needed a coaching model that was sophisticated enough to enable the depth of conversations that arise in the Health context but practical enough to roll out on a large scale.
The REACH© acronym stands for Rapport, Explore, Action, Clarify and Honour. It has been designed with these principles:
- To emphasise the building of rapport and trust to help people open up and engage fully in the process.
- To be able to clarify and articulate the reason or the benefits of getting their desired outcome it was more likely that the coachees would take the actions they had identified to achieve it.
- To conclude a coaching conversation by authentically honouring the coachees meant they left the session energised, believing that they can achieve what is important to them.
Positive Psychology
Research over the past 30 years has clearly validated the importance of optimism and a positive workplace culture and shown the difference it makes to productivity at work. Martin Seligman’s work on learned optimism vs. learned helplessness is a useful underpinning of any program to increase individual and team effectiveness.
Whole Brain Thinking and Brain Dominance
Over many years of using different psychometric tools, we have found that to impact on behaviour, it required people to first recognise the fundamental differences in our biological make up. Brain dominance tools are one of the most effective tools to measure individual and team thinking preferences to raise self-awareness as a precursor to individual and team effectiveness. Coach and trainer Jeanette White is accredited in the Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument.
Principles to Practice

They are participative workshops, providing frameworks, tools and ideas that are immediately applicable.

Many organisations large and small now understand the effect that a coaching culture has on their “bottom line” and are looking to introduce a Coaching Culture within their leaders. All too often though, there is little or no return on investment because the basic coaching skills they learn do not translate to results back in the workplace. They remain uninspired and unmotivated to change.
