CTRL Awareness Model, Self-Awareness for Better Coaching

​Coaches spend a great deal of time helping clients notice their patterns — but what about the patterns the coach brings into the conversation?

​In this interactive masterclass, Toby Newman will introduce the CTRL Awareness Model™ and explore how a coach’s own responses, preferences and assumptions can shape a coaching conversation, often without them consciously noticing.

​In this session, we'll look at how greater self-awareness can help coaches recognise what they are bringing into the room, create more space for the client, and make more deliberate choices in the moment.

​We’ll also explore how CTRL can be used with clients to create a shared view of their own patterns, surfacing assumptions, differences in perception, and areas worth exploring more deeply.

​The session will include a short introduction to the CTRL model, followed by an open Q&A and discussion.

​We encourage you to complete the CTRL assessment free of charge before the masterclass — link coming soon — so that, if you wish, you can bring questions about your own results into the session and explore what those results might mean in a coaching context.

​About CTRL
CTRL is a perception-based self-awareness mapping tool. It helps people explore how they tend to respond in different relational situations, creating a visual map of patterns rather than a personality label or score. For coaches, it provides a shared starting point for deeper conversations about what someone notices, what they may not notice, and where there may be room for greater choice.
