Titre de l’activité/Title of the activity: Obstacles to action: What coachees experience and what coaches can do

Animateur/Speaker:  Marie-Ève Deschênes, D.Psy. industrial and organizational psychology


DESCRIPTION

It happens that a coachee is fully committed to the process… and still, the road from intention to action is rarely straightforward. The intention is there, so is the motivation, but something gets in the way.

This is more common than we might think, and often overlooked in the coaching literature. Yet obstacles to action are a reality most coaches encounter, regardless of their specialty.

As part of her doctoral research, Dr. Deschênes conducted in-depth interviews with managers engaged in a behavioral change coaching process. She asked them a simple question: what got in your way and what did your coach do that actually helped you move forward?

The findings are nuanced and initiate reflection on your practice.

Join your fellow coaches in exploring what's happening on the other side of the relationship. What have you observed in your own coachees? Which coaching behaviors have you found effective in these moments of stagnation? And honestly, have you ever felt uncertain about what to do when a coachee feels stuck?

Come ready to share, reflect, and connect. You'll leave with practical insights to better support your coachees and perhaps a new perspective on those moments that can feel so challenging.
