Creativity and Play for Coaches Series
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw
We are excited to announce a Creativity and Play for Coaches series: Brick by Brick (LEGOs), Expect the Unexpected (Improv), and Paint a Picture – leveraging metaphor, imagery, and creative tools in coaching. The series will build our creative and playful coaching skills, so we have fun and joy in our coaching! All workshops will be hosted by ICF-RAC Past President, Pamela Maxson, PhD, MCC
You can register for one, two, or all three of the workshops, all of which will be held in person.
All three workshops will encompass the ICF coaching competencies while integrating playful, creative approaches to help clients (and coaches) tap into their deeper knowledge and experience.
Unexpected Lunch & Learn
Join us for Expect the Unexpected Lunch & Learn on Thursday, September 3rd, from 10:00 to 11:30 am, hosted by ICF-RAC President, Pamela Maxson, PhD, MCC.
We will explore improv as a tool for both coaches and clients to become comfortable with not knowing, uncertainty, and building trust in ourselves and each other. Improv can help build listening skills, emotional agility, and quiet our inner coaching critic.
Join us for an interactive, fun workshop where we can’t wait to see what happens!
CCEUs approved: 1 Core Competency & .5 Resource Development
Location: In person, TBD
