Breaking Through the Blocks
How to work more effectively with stuck clients
A one day Master Class for Coaches, Career Coaches and others working with individuals presenting as ‘stuck’?
I came away with something instantly applicable to any facet of life
Colleagues would benefit from this different and helpful perspective on change.
The techniques can be used in so many aspects of one’s personal and business life.
Those of us in the business of helping others achieve their potential are aware of the difficulties people often face in making the changes in their behaviour or lives that are necessary to more forward in a positive way. Indeed, we can all relate to the experience and frustrations of being “stuck”.
Achieving change doesn’t have to be complicated, but the practice of in-depth diagnoses of the history of a problem, and why it exists, may have conditioned us into believing it always to be so.
This workshop takes a different approach to change, explores its paradoxical nature and the traps we can fall into (such as double binds, and terrible simplifications) which ultimately serve to sustain the status quo.
The workshop will explore the whole concept of “stuckness” and introduce several techniques for challenging the paradigm and achieving second order change. If you want to take your coaching and counselling skills to another level, and learn how to facilitate those “breakthrough” moments then this workshop is for you.
This practical day will leave you refreshed, and with ideas for tackling a range of areas that need shifting. You will also have the opportunity to practice the tools and gain professional feedback from experienced, qualified coaches. It is also an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals in the field, share tools and best practice.
