Course Details

Join the ICF Executive and Leadership Coaching Community of Practice and Lyssa deHart, MCC, LICSW, for an engaging webinar exploring how lasting transformation happens when coaches move beyond solving problems and instead become trusted partners in their clients’ thinking. 

In many coaching engagements, leaders arrive with a checklist of skills they want to improve, such as delegation or time management. Yet these conversations often reveal deeper questions about identity, purpose, values, and who they are becoming. Rather than focusing solely on behaviors, this session explores how coaches can recognize and work with the developmental shifts occurring beneath the surface. 

Drawing on neuroscience, somatics, and vertical development, Lyssa will demonstrate how memory, motivation, and psychological safety influence lasting change. You’ll learn how to create the conditions for deeper client thinking by listening beyond the presenting issue, recognizing developmental patterns, and fostering an environment where clients generate their own meaningful insights. 

Participants will discover how intentional agreement setting, active listening, and coaching presence can help leaders shift from external overwhelm to a stronger internal sense of agency. Through practical examples and research-informed frameworks, this webinar will provide approaches that help executive and leadership coaches create more sustainable outcomes while strengthening authentic client partnership.
