Join us for this ICF Community of Practice Life Vision and Enhancement session on Thursday, August 21, 2025, from 12 Noon to 1 p.m. (New York), where you’ll gain competency in maintaining presence, staying grounded, and demonstrating confidence while in the presence of the strong emotions of your client’s grief and loss story.
Who Is This For?
- Coaches who want to develop and deepen coaching skills specifically effective in the Grief and Loss space
- Aspiring coaches who want to effectively coach individuals seeking support and wanting a sense of forward movement around their grief of any loss
- Managers/Leaders using coaching skills to create a safe, supportive space for employees returning to work after a loss
- Professional coaches who are looking to gain confidence in how to be with employees returning to work after a loss
What You Will Learn:
- Gain critical awareness and insight into the relationship you have with your grief
- Develop an enhanced coaching presence for clients/colleagues wanting support around grief and loss.
- Harness the power of somatic feedback for accessing a neutral, embodied presence for grief clients
- Learn how to build/create a Safe Space
- Increase capacity to Witness vs Fixing or Rescuing the person experiencing grief and loss
Course Details:
This course is for experienced and newer coaches, managers, and leaders who sense that more can be done for their clients and employees experiencing grief and loss. Rather than offering platitudes and “quick fixes,” these coaches and leaders yearn to offer what is genuinely needed more effectively. Grief is everywhere, both evident and beneath the surface. This course will introduce coaches and leaders to the skills and embodied presence and expand their awareness around what is needed to create the safe, empathetic space necessary for clients to experience the full expression of their grief story as a precursor to transforming the pain of grief and loss into a felt sense of meaning and purpose.
