Course Details:
Our clients come to us eager for change or progress toward their goals — and yet, they may quickly and repeatedly get tangled up in conflicting needs, fears, and other internal obstacles. Often, these self-blocking mechanisms are unconscious, making them all the more insidious. Our clients can get caught in a cycle in which they take a step towards change and then retreat. What if you could employ a simple, innovative technique to empower your clients to stop struggling and start addressing what really matters? What if your clients could dissolve internal battles and manage quandaries with greater agency, efficiency, self-compassion, sustainability, peace, and pragmatism?
In this experiential, unique, fun, and instantly applicable on-demand webinar, you’ll learn principles and skills of improvisation that can help your clients recognize and break unconscious patterns that are keeping them stuck and sabotaging their momentum. You’ll discover how thinking like an improviser can help both you and your clients to generate options, create peace and acceptance, get into action, and reach goals more effectively, much more efficiently, and with greater ease.
Elevate your expertise as you learn how to transform your clients’ energy in an instant and discover a tool to help clients rewrite their narratives and increase their awareness and self-efficacy between sessions. No matter who you coach or what you help people with, you’ll leave the session ready to use the concepts and skills you’ve learned to coach more powerfully.
