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.
Paint a Picture Lunch & Learn
Join us for Paint a Picture Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, October 28th, from 10:00 to 11:30 am, hosted by ICF-RAC President, Pamela Maxson, PhD, MCC. Coaches (and clients) use metaphors and creative language as expressions of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In this workshop, we will use creative tools (blank canvas, markers, paints…) to bypass our cognitive hurdles and allow our hands and hearts to express themselves. No artistic ability is needed – led by a self-described non-artist creative person.
Paint a Picture: Supply cost: $10
CCEUs approved: TBD
Location: In person, TBD
