About

CALL TO ACTION: Follow, rate, and share the show!When you plan, deliver, and reflect on your coaching practice, you may not recognise that your beliefs and behaviours can be traced back to higher order paradigms of thought, playing out at the various metaphysical levels. In this episode I seek to increase your awareness by offering examples of some (not all) coaching paradigms, breaking each one down according to their ontological, epistemological, methodological, and axiological positionings for cohesive understanding. The paradigms discussed - and in some cases combined - include behaviourism, constructivism, embodiment, pragmatism, and ecological dynamics, to spark your curiosity. Listen in to unlock deeper and more focused thinking and subsequent practice as a coach.If you like this episode, I recommend these other episodes too:Rethinking coaching philosophyCoaching as a science, with John LyleLearn more about your host and access services and added resources:https://markjcarrollcoaching.wordpress.com/consultancy/
