Hosted by Association for Coaching.
Coaching the Whole Human Experience
It’s tough out there in the world for many of us, clients and coaches alike.
In this webinar series, we will explore how coaches can become more robust, confident and skillful at managing and coaching difficulties currently confronting human thriving.
It can be bewildering and disconcerting to know how to include and integrate our client’s anxieties about what is going on in the world, from wars to eco-anxiety to social disruption and blazingly fast technological change or conspiracy theories that can sweep up even the most balanced of us.
On top of that, there are other issues like health challenges, too much stress and overwhelm, anxiety and mental health, addictions of different kinds and the ever-present disruption to our ability to focus.
Anthony Eldridge-Rogers, our speaker for this series, has spent over 20 years coaching people in high-stakes situations full of strong emotions and real consequences if they don’t find a way through them.
Coaching offers us many options to manage these choppy situations and help our clients, and in this series, we will be digging into practical solutions that work.
