As coaches we are improvisers; we have structures and skills (competencies), but to apply those most effectively, we must be in the moment, listening, connecting and co-creating.
In this 90-minute session, we’ll use improv rules and structures from theatre and comedy, as well as those tailored just for coaches, to experiment, play and learn. You’ll get comfortable with not pre- planning or getting ahead in your coaching conversations, and trust in the bottomless well of ideas and possibilities that we all (coaches and clients) have access to at any time.
Learning objectives:
By the end of the session, participants will have greater capacity to:
*Come into a calm, creative, resourceful state.
*Actively listen with somatic awareness.
*Bring more playfulness and empathy into your coaching.
*Find more freedom in coaching through non-judgment of self and others. Deepen coaching competency and skill
