Practice in Presence
Training for Other Coaches

Next Training February '25

"Any coach worth their salt will want to learn about presence .... and make it a foundation of their work with clients"

Helen Isacke, Founder Trusted Coach Directory, training participant

This approach can help you:

‘Being more present in myself and listening to my gut rather than living in my head so much. This will make me more attentive and a better coach.’

This work is aimed at coaches and other helping professionals who wish to deepen their own self- awareness, presence and listening skills in service of their clients. It is trauma informed.

During these trainings you will learn to connect with your own felt sense. This term was coined by the philosopher Eugene Gendlin back in the 1960’s. It refers to that often-fuzzy feeling which is hard to describe because everyone has their own unique way of experiencing it! It is usually some combination of emotions, physical sensations, new awareness, and intuition. Often it holds information or wants to communicate something of importance. As such, having access to it as a leader, coaching or helping professional can be invaluable.

80% of the signals between the brain and the body go from the body to the brain. These signals are all processed in the right side of the brain. Real change happens when both sides of the brain – the logical left and the intuitive right – work together. Real change doesn’t happen by talking and analysing alone. Real change happens when you combine that with listening to the body in real time. You are not a Head on Legs; You are a Human Iceberg. Discover the secrets held in your body and learn to use this in service of your client

Accessing the felt sense can help you gain more insight into various issues. Some examples include:

Make better use of their time and set better priorities.

Bringing needed distance in challenging relationships.

Supports decision-making by deep listening.

And many other situations that (you and) your clients may need support with.

During this programme you will learn an introduction to several different modalities:

Focusing

Focusing helps you to gain skills at accessing and following the felt sense. It helps to  guide clients to a deep level of self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Circling

This is a relational tool which provides a safe container to communicate observations  and share impact in a structured way. This can support  clients to increase their self-awareness and self-development.

Polyvagal Training

Provides concrete exercises to support nervous system regulation through a series of easy to learn structured movements that enhance self regulation.

The NARM™ framework

Provides a broad context to help understand ourselves and our clients better.  It provides an embodied approach to help clients work through self-imposed limitations so that they are no longer restricted by those old beliefs

These approaches (especially combined) bring a deep level of awareness. Much deeper than is usually possible in coaching or ‘talk therapy’.

‘This program provides essential tools for anyone looking to enhance their presence and relational abilities in a structured and supportive environment’.

Being fully present and grounded opens up new possibilities and widens our perspective. It creates a certain level of lightness and mental space. I LOVE IT!
