CEC: Exploring our Relationship to Intuition in Coaching and Beyond
June 24, 2022 | 11:00 - 12:30pm ET
CCEUs- 1.5 Core Competencies
As coaches, trusting our intuition is essential to establishing a successful coaching relationship with our clients. First we must acknowledge this unbidden piece of information that presents itself in our minds and bodies. Sometimes intuition shows up as a fleeting thought that barely crosses our minds and other times it is so overwhelming, it nearly knocks us out of our seats. Once we acknowledge it, we have a choice to do something about it.
Before we take action, we must believe that our intuition has significance. By trusting intuition, in a coaching context, we are required to act on it. The leap to action can be daunting. In the moment with a client, we don’t often have the time to assess the information we’ve received intuitively, and we don’t know how the client will receive it. Taking the risk, though, by acting on our intuition can be rewarding for both client and coach.
We will explore what we feel, think and do in the moments between our acknowledgment, trust and acting on our intuition in this month’s CEC. In a time of increased disconnection in the world, I am inviting our community to a conversation that may stimulate and reconnect us to our own humanity and that of others.
Participants will walk away with the following:
- enhanced understanding of coaching presence
- enhanced insight in to one’s own tolerance for risk and sitting with not knowing
- awareness of our strengths and hindrances to trusting and acting on our intuition
- enhanced understanding of our willingness to act in the moment
- feeling more connected to fellow coaches
Note: This event will NOT be recorded.
