At Ashridge, she found a sense of alignment that surprised her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"852\">In this conversation, Tinka reflects on why the online coaching program felt like &#8220;coming home&#8221;, how online learning reshaped her presence as a coach, and why thoughtful endings matter just as much as powerful beginnings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<hr data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"702\">\n<h3 data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"772\"><strong data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"772\">Q: Tinka, what initially drew you to the Ashridge programme?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"1153\">I was looking for a more profound training experience to deepen my coaching skills. I had previously completed a first module of ICF in Belgium, but it didn\u2019t quite meet my expectations. At the time, I couldn\u2019t pinpoint why\u2014but as soon as I started at Ashridge, I immediately recognised what I had been missing: the theoretical depth and the strong focus on relational aspects.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1250\">It felt like coming home to myself, using a method that already naturally aligns with who I am.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1255\">\n<h3 data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1320\"><strong data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1320\">Q: What convinced you Ashridge was the right next step?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1638\">Someone I trust\u2014who has extensive knowledge and research experience in coaching programs\u2014highly recommended it. I started reading about Ashridge online and became intrigued by this relational approach to coaching. It was an intuitive pull, a desire for theory and a method that resonates with my identity as a coach.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1643\">\n<h3 data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1737\"><strong data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1737\">Q: You say the theory stood out to you. Can you share more about that?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"2038\">Yes\u2014the reading list was fascinating. It allowed me to go deeper into the concepts we touched on during our online sessions. For me, it was primarily about building a solid theoretical foundation, but I also learned to reflect more critically on the profession and the practice of coaching itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2281\">One of the most significant learnings was the reflective aspect of coaching. The practice of reflecting on coaching itself, facing questions and mirrors that challenge your perspective, was something I had never experienced so deeply before.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2283\" data-end=\"2286\">\n<h3 data-start=\"2288\" data-end=\"2357\"><strong data-start=\"2292\" data-end=\"2357\">Q: Has this impacted your life beyond your professional role?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2359\" data-end=\"2602\">Absolutely. I\u2019ve fully embraced the process of reflection\u2014it feels like oxygen for my thinking and being. This reflective practice has uncovered patterns I wasn\u2019t even aware of, leading to a profound personal and professional transformation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2604\" data-end=\"2812\">I\u2019ve learned to be more present, to give space and truly listen. These are not only skills I apply in my professional coaching practice but also in my daily life, where they have made a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2814\" data-end=\"2817\">\n<h3 data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2892\"><strong data-start=\"2823\" data-end=\"2892\">Q: You recently completed your final workshop. How did that shape your perspective on coaching?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2894\" data-end=\"3104\">It was\u2014as always\u2014reflective and thought-provoking, particularly around the theme of endings. I&#8217;d recently completed a few coaching trajectories, and the way I now approach endings has fundamentally changed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3106\" data-end=\"3392\">I\u2019ve become much more mindful of how I handle the conclusion of a coaching relationship\u2014paying attention to the way it is ended, the care I put into it, and the evaluation process. This awareness has been significantly shaped by the theoretical approaches discussed during the workshop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3394\" data-end=\"3397\">\n<h3 data-start=\"3399\" data-end=\"3445\"><strong data-start=\"3403\" data-end=\"3445\">Q: Looking ahead, what\u2019s next for you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3447\" data-end=\"3700\">Next year, I\u2019ll be focusing on completing my assignment and accreditation. My intention is to start the second year within the next five years because I genuinely enjoy the reading, the deeper thinking, the structured framework, and the study process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3702\" data-end=\"3939\">I think that once I\u2019ve had the chance to put more of what I\u2019ve learned into practice, I\u2019ll be ready to continue with the next phase. But I want to allow myself the space to fully integrate the first year\u2019s learning before moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3941\" data-end=\"3944\">\n<h3 data-start=\"3946\" data-end=\"4025\"><strong data-start=\"3950\" data-end=\"4025\">Q: How did the online format work for you, practically and emotionally?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4027\" data-end=\"4218\">One of the great advantages is that it can be done from a distance. The program is already quite intense\u2014and travelling from Belgium to the UK for each session would have been even more so.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4220\" data-end=\"4559\">A significant part of executive coaching today also happens online. Being able to coach effectively in an online environment is a valuable skill. I\u2019ve learned to tune in and really feel into the relationship, even through a screen. That used to intimidate me, and I\u2019ve now overcome the assumption that online work is somehow less powerful.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4561\" data-end=\"4564\">\n<h3 data-start=\"4566\" data-end=\"4638\"><strong data-start=\"4570\" data-end=\"4638\">Q: Can you give an example of how coaching online surprised you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4640\" data-end=\"4917\">I\u2019ve had moments in sessions where I could feel so much in the present moment, despite only seeing part of the person. There are so many subtle cues: the rhythm of their speech, hesitations, silence, glances away from the camera, small movements, how they hold their posture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4919\" data-end=\"5200\">It also made me reflect on my own online presence\u2014from the background behind me, to the colour of my clothes, to the type of headphones I use. A peer pointed this out to me in a session, and it really made me more conscious and intentional about how I show up in the virtual space.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"5202\" data-end=\"5205\">\n<h3 data-start=\"5207\" data-end=\"5278\"><strong data-start=\"5211\" data-end=\"5278\">Q: Were there any challenges with building connection remotely?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5280\" data-end=\"5529\">Yes. I do feel that it\u2019s harder to build informal group dynamics online. You definitely get to know each other, but the interactions stay mostly within the structured coaching context. I miss the casual moments\u2014like chatting at the coffee machine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5531\" data-end=\"5927\">We did have one informal moment\u2014a goodbye drink at the end of the sessions\u2014which was lovely. It made me realise how meaningful those less-structured moments can be.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5531\" data-end=\"5927\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 data-start=\"5207\" data-end=\"5278\"><strong data-start=\"5211\" data-end=\"5278\">Thanks for sharing your story, Tinka, and all the best for your dissertation and accreditation!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"dac32d6f-25a1-4438-8206-3b355fcf7277\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<hr data-start=\"5929\" data-end=\"5932\">\n<h3 data-start=\"5934\" data-end=\"5956\">&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5958\" data-end=\"6271\">Tinka\u2019s story is a powerful reminder that deepening your coaching practice can be transformational.
