What if your inner critical voice is not mean but worried about you? What if this voice is actually powerless – and not really in the driver’s seat? What if by being with this voice in a new way, change could happen? Understand your inner critic so you can better support your coaching clients in understanding their inner critic.
This webinar will offer:
- Awareness of how internal criticizing happens for you and your coaching clients
- Understanding of what drives the Inner Critic
- Mindfulness tools and language for you and your client to be present and not identified or in discussion with the Inner Critic
- Steps for being empathic and compassionate with the Inner Critic from a deeper understanding of the process
Facilitator: Elke Ruggaber, ACC, is a native of Germany. Elke and her
husband moved to NC in 1992, originally for a one year stay. After raising two sons and establishing her real estate rental business, it was time to look for what might come next in life. In 2013, Elke was introduced to Focusing - a mindfulness process and a learnable skill that allows us to be with our emotions instead of being the emotions. Just like teaching someone to fish instead of giving them a fish, focusing is a skill that will nourish you and others for a lifetime - a gift that keeps on giving. Out of a deep desire to share this gift with others for emotional freedom, Elke is now a Certified Focusing Professional through the International Focusing Institute and also an ICF Certified Coach.
