Growing Your Coaching Presence Through Intuition

• Coaches are naturally curious and often highly intuitive.  While intuition is listed as a sub-bullet under the ICF Core Competency of Embodies a Coaching Mindset, it isn’t often addressed in coach training beyond a mere mention. Coaches might be reluctant to ‘trust’ their intuition, let alone grow their use of this powerful coaching tool. Some coaches might trust their intuition but then may not be sure how or when to use it with a client.  This workshop is designed to explore intuition, identify ways intuition strengthens one’s coaching, and share intuition practices of other coaches.

  Bring your curiosity, open mind and sense of play for this fun learning experience. You’ll find the time will fly by as we grow our intuitive senses together.
