Mindfulness Awareness Practice for Coaches

As a coach, you know the importance of awareness when it comes to your client's ability to recognize their current patterns of thinking and acting and to make significant, lasting change. And, as a coach, you very likely have a sense of how important mindful awareness is to your effectiveness in supporting your clients in this exploration. If you are like many coaches, however, this intention doesn't blossom into concrete action.

In speaking with coaches, I've learned that many would like to develop their mindfulness skills but aren't comfortable for one reason or another to pursue this individually; "there's so much information about mindfulness out there these days, where do you start?" Many would like to establish a meditation practice, and, even though they have good insight into new habit formation for others, they find they don't ever get around to establishing this new habit for themselves. Still others don't have a clear sense of how mindfulness practice can impact their effectiveness as a coach, or how it relates to the core competencies.

In order to address these needs, I am offering a program to help a small group of coaches develop their own mindfulness awareness practice and apply these skills in their coaching. The program consists of 8 weekly 90 minute sessions that I lead, conducted over video. 

Here's what you will learn in MAP* for Coaches:

  • How to bring mindful awareness into all your client conversations.

  • How to bring mindful awareness to mastering the coaching competencies of Coaching Presence, Active Listening, Powerful Questioning, and Creating Awareness.

  • How to enlist your unconscious as an ally for you and your clients in making lasting change

  • The power of equanimity and how it supports Trust and Intimacy

  • How attention operates and how you can influence attention to make progress on goals rather than get caught in distraction

  • How to recognize the process by which habits, beliefs, and identities are created so you and your clients can respond freely rather than automatically to challenging situations
