Welcome to our monthly Coaching Community news roundup, where you can read updates, find out about upcoming events and stay in the loop with all things KYM. We hope you find it helpful!

🚀 Build Up Update

Our brilliant Build Up coaching skills programme for 18-25 year olds is up and running again with our second cohort. This time we have 15 on board! They have completed the self-study part of the programme (called BUSS) and are already halfway through the scheduled programme.  The KYM Faculty involved in the delivery of Build Up have already observed how the participants are developing as coaches on the back of the various experiential learning sessions they have participated in.

It is great that the participants from our pioneer Build Up cohort are already involved in coaching on the Level Up programme. They are also partnering with Know You More in exploring different ways to navigate the journey from Build Up completion towards becoming a practising coach. You will hear more about these projects in the future!

‍📜 Team coaching accreditation

This year we have delivered a number of Team Coaching initiatives which has sparked an interest in a number of coaches to explore gaining a Team Coaching accreditation.

The training provider suggested is Gillian at Full Circle in Glasgow and there are 6 KYM coaches who expressed interest so far.

The suggested programme is ICF Accredited (higher end) 14 hours of CPD, based on Peter Hawkins models and will be delivered virtually - £500+VAT.

There is enough confirmed interest for the programme to go ahead but we wanted to make you aware that it is happening should you wish to get involved.

It is important to say that KYM are not involved in the delivery or have any commercial interest in this offer. We’re purely putting it out there to be of support and create awareness. There is a line of thinking that with higher volume a better rate could be negotiated.

If you’d like more information then message us on Slack or at team@knowyoumore.com.

🚀 Welcome Adam to Know You More!

Last month Know You More welcomed Adam Nosal as our new Business Development Lead! Adam has worked with us in the past and now will help us to develop new partnerships and drive the business forward.

Adam says:

“I feel like I've been able to watch the Know You More people & organisation grow and develop over time. Like watching a family grow up from a distance. It's special for me to be back at this exciting stage to bring focus, energy and intention to the development of the business.”

☕ Reminder - Lunchtime Drop-ins

We have blocked a time in our calendar for a KYM monthly lunchtime drop-in session. This is a session for you to join as and when if you:

- Would like to connect with KYM via a video call

- Have a question about using the platform

- Have a query about a project you are coaching on

This is an optional drop-in session that we are testing off the back of your feedback, there will be no structure to the session. Drop-ins are a space created for us all to connect monthly and work on any questions you have regarding your coaching with us.

There will be two sessions - one for Level Up coaches and one for Know You More coaches - both on Google Meets. KYM drop-ins will be the first Monday of every month and Level Up drop-ins the second Tuesday of every month.
