COACHES RISING & THE STROZZI INSTITUTE PRESENT
June 5 - October 2, 2019
LIVE ONLINE COACH TRAININGThe Power of
Embodied Transformation
Coaching that changes the whole of your client.
Learn to Wield the Power of Embodied Change
Most approaches to change don’t stick.
They seem powerful. They create insights that open things up. They give us exciting new ideas. They change our perspectives on things. They promise much.
And then sooner or later, the impact fades and we find ourselves once again coming up against the same old problems, with the same old outcomes.
Change is hard to sustain.
Unless you know how to change more than someone’s mind.
Transformation—the deep change every coach seeks for their clients—can only happen when we work somatically and holistically.
Not just the mind. Or just the body. Or just achieving goals. Or just processing emotions. But working with the WHOLE person.
Embodied coaching is a process that allows you to connect with the entirety of your client — their thoughts, feelings, actions, spirit, and body — and in so doing, to create lasting change.
This innovative somatic coaching approach was originally developed by pioneer Richard Strozzi-Heckler during decades of practice and exploration.
During this training, you’ll learn directly from Richard, alongside contemporary coaches who have integrated this powerful approach with new discoveries in neuroscience, psychotherapy, and leadership development.
When you learn to coach somatically you’ll be able to…
- Help your clients feel whole and centered, connecting them to their own intrinsic power and passion.
- Recognize conditioned patterns in your clients as they arise, so that you can help them break stubborn and unhelpful habits
- Embed your client’s changes holistically and sustainably, giving them a whole new way of being
This is what your client truly wants.
Not superficial conversations or more information, but a coach who can truly access the transformational potential that is contained within them.
This is the Power of Embodied Transformation.
