9.15am – Q&A

In your coaching practice do you:

  • Have intuitions about the coachee that you don’t know what to do with? 
  • Worry about the reactions you have to your coachee are ‘your stuff’ so should not be brought to the coaching session? 
  • Try to find ‘powerful questions’ to progress the work but they don’t come to mind? 
  • Feel frustrated when there is a lot of talking and not much progress or depth to the work? 
  • Get stuck in some sessions and concerned it’s your fault, that you’re not a good enough coach?

These are typical issues that appear when restricted to performance based, solution-focused coaching. You’re in a ‘customer – supplier’ relationship where you, as the professional, have to produce the results and give ‘value for money’. This creates a lot of pressure for you to perform and deliver a useful outcome.

In this workshop we’ll focus on the distinctive Gestalt perspective – that the coaching relationship is a ‘partnership’. You are working in collaboration for the benefit of the client. You are there as a partner rather than a supplier and the solution will be achieved by exploring together.

This means that what you experience as the coach – your reactions, ideas, emotions are not only valid but essential to the partnership. In addition, there is a magic in coaching called ‘intuition’, that is hugely underused because it’s not explained or understood in general coaching theory.

Gestalt has a clear explanation and skillset that allows you to maximise how you use this intuition and other reactions to the coachee in order to effect change at a more profound level. This is what I call Resonance.

In this Advance webinar I’ll explain the Gestalt theory behind Perceptual, Cognitive and Somatic Resonance and demonstrate it in practice. Then in the workshop I’ll set up exercises and give you the opportunity to practice these skills with guidance from me, as well as experience the power of being coached with these interventions.

When you sign up for the webinar I’ll send you more information on the theoretical framework so you’re prepared for the experiential practice focus in the workshop.
