Cross-disciplinary Approaches in Narrative Coaching

Our collective narrative is crumbling and forcing a re-evaluation of both our personal and our collective story. How can we help our clients create new narratives in these times of great uncertainty? In this conversation with coach and trainer Robert Stephenson we explore how to create new narratives when the old ones break down, cross-disciplinary coaching and working at our leading edge, and the hidden power dynamic in the coaching relationship.
The Body Knows the Way Masterclass

Just enter your details — and we’ll send you the latest insights right away.

Staying inspired is an important part of keeping a freshness to our coaching. Whether it be reading or experiencing something that may or may not be related to coaching, keeping new ideas and energy flowing through our lives helps us to stay at our emerging edge in our coaching work.

When we tune in to a client we’re not only listening to what they’re saying but also to what is not being said, to the way things are said, to their body language, tone, repetition and the energy they’re embodying. So much important information is held not in the overt sharing by the client but in the subtle aspects around what they’re sharing.
