Session Description

Curiosity is the secret sauce in great coaching and great living…this getting naked approach is to get beneath the obvious and that which is easily shared or brought to consciousness…this is about courageous vulnerability modelled by the coach and evoked from the client. The focus in emotional learning and sharing what holds or has held one back. With the coach as a committed listener and the client achieving trust and intimacy, things can be shared and transformed that may not be comfortably shared elsewhere. If we are going to teach EQ, the we need to do something with the emotional intelligence that is discovered. Getting Naked (with your clothes on) will demonstrate and offer clear ways to incorporate appropriate self-disclosure in coaching. Leading to truly authentic conversations, you will learn how to ‘go deeper’ or under the surface assisting the client in sharing ‘naked truths’ about wants, blocks, challenges, and help them say what they have not said and think what they have not thought and increase awareness by sharing with you the coach what they may not be comfortable sharing with others. All of this is to lead to emotional learning and increased awareness, leading to optimal living for the client. Coaches will also discern how much they should self-disclose and when is it helpful. A look at current research and essays by leading corporations will be shared about this process of courageous vulnerability and the power of transparency and honesty at the right time, place and with the right person.

Coaches will learn how to get \’under the surface\’ of their clients desires or intentions. Coaches will also learn how to focus on their own self care with their own life challenges in order to be fully present with clients.
