Deepening Presence and a Steady Heart: Free Introductory Workshop

Deepening Presence and a Steady Heart: Free Introductory Workshop

Most coaches have learned to be present with their thinker, but far fewer have learned to be present with themselves while it happens.

This free, 90-minute workshop with Farah Govani, held live on Zoom, is a space to explore what this could mean for your own coaching. It will be practical and reflective, with room to work with the ideas rather than just listen to them.

What if the presence you already bring to your coaching is not the ceiling, but the starting point?

In this session, you will:

• Rate your coaching presence using ICF Core Competencies (#2 - Embodies a Coaching Mindset and #5 - Maintains Presence)
• Discover what mindfulness means beyond meditation and how it maps to the ICF Core Competencies
• Experience a short mindfulness practice you can start using straight away to cultivate deeper presence
• Meet Farah, hear more about her course, and ask any questions you have
• Get a feel for whether the course is a good fit for you

About the course

This session introduces Deepening Presence and a Steady Heart: A Mindfulness Course for Coaches, an experiential programme that develops the inner capacities that support high-quality coaching practice: sustained presence, emotional steadiness and refined attunement with clients. The course is ICF approved for 30 CCE hours (19 Core Competencies + 11 Resource Development). It's open to all coaches, whether you're entirely new to meditation, a seasoned practitioner, or somewhere in between.

Please note: this free webinar does not itself carry CCE hours.
