There is a way
Between voice and presence
Where information flows.
In disciplined silence it opens.
With wandering talk it closes.

WHO YOU ARE IS HOW YOU COACH.
Brighton Saturday March 26th 2011
A One-Day Workshop for coaches, mentors and coach supervisors.
‘Coach and client are engaged in a process of reciprocal influence….thus the person of the coach must be fully involved.’ Prof B Critchley
Concepts from quantum physics, mindfulness, neurocardiology and the work of Sharmer/Senge (TheoryU), will be used to illuminate our understanding of self-as-instrument in coaching. This multi-dimensional look at coaching presence brings a much deeper sense of how the person of the coach affects coaching outcomes. The workshop focuses on what goes on within the coach as they coach and what goes on between the coach and coachee. It also touches on the development of valuable awareness about the coach’s Internal Supervisor where cognitive, somatic and intuitive data can inform and guide interventions.
Learning how to be present to this degree quickly brings elegance, and efficiency to our work. It also begins to offer clarity of thought when transference issues or parallel processes are operating. The ideas in this workshop are in alignment with current explorations in coaching research and practice. Coaching is now recognizing how central our presence and the coaching relationship are to successful outcomes and to the development of first class practice.
