Training in Embodied Systemic Coaching
Which surround, shape us and often pressurise usWhat is Embodied systemic Coaching?
Embodied Systemic Coaching aims to help us:
- Reconnect to a fuller sense of ourselves and of our meaning and purpose
- Reconnect more fully with other people and
- Reconnect to a more complete sense of the natural world and our innate interdependence with the environment
- Reconnect with our focus and professional aspirations
It offers an opportunity for individuals to partner with a coach and identify their strengths and explore their dreams for their professional and personal life. It supports us to build upon our strengths in order to reach for the stars and achieve our aspirations.
With the help of a coach, we can become more creative and proactive in designing our own lives and in taking care of the systems and environment around us.
We draw on the wisdom of all our intelligences – our intuitive, emotional and embodied intelligences, as well as our brain power.
We pay particular attention to the context in which we live and work as well as organisational and family systems which surround and shape us.
We offer a full training in embodied systemic coaching – which leads to optional accreditation as a professional coach with the ICF (International Coaching Federation).
