Have you ever had difficulty in being fully present and engaged with your clients in a coaching session? It takes being open to “notice” all that’s happening, not only with our clients but with ourselves. This “noticing” takes practice in recognizing the many layers of information available to us.

In this experiential session, participants will be invited to engage in “noticing” by using various mediums like images and music presented in a manner that can help shift our mindsets by being aware of the filters that can stand in the way of being fully present. Participants will be invited to share their learning.

This session will focus on ICF Competency #2—Embodies a Coaching Mindset and #5—Maintains Presence. and through the experiential exercises, sharing their reflections and learning, participants will take away a greater awareness of what it takes for coaches to be present and able to shift their mindset.

Learning Goal:
To create awareness for coaches to notice what happens within themselves and what they might observe with their coachee. To use what they notice to dive deeper into the coaching conversation with curiosity and without attachment.

• Coaches have techniques to become more present in their coaching or to support clients becoming more present in their coaching sessions.
• Coaches gain awareness of engaging different perspectives to yeidl new results in their coaching.
• Coaches increase confidence to share what they notice with their clients with curiosity and without attachment.
