The Essence of Coaching: Play at Full Potential with Vijayalakshmi S, MCC

At the heart of Coaching lies human Potential & a partnership that enables maximizing it! ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. As professional Coaches, we therefore partner with our clients to be “max” versions of themselves as they realize their goals. But how really does this work on human potential happen in Coaching? Does it also require the Coach to maximize their own potential?
Join us in this Masterclass, facilitated by an experienced Master Coach & Mentor who will hold a reflective space for ICF Coaches to explore the concept of Potential and its dimensions in their service of clients, while exploring it for their own selves. We will also connect the dots with the ICF Core Competencies and its nuances.
