Listening Between the Lines: The Transformative Art of Poetry in Coaching

Techniques for Inspiring Self-Discovery, Reflection, and Bold Action with Clients

Description:
In this 60 minute webinar, we will explore the power of poetry as a way to expand and deepen the coaching experience.  We will look at how to select poetry that aligns with the themes a client is exploring, and how poetry can create a ‘landscape of thought” where the client and coach can cultivate insights, reflect, and uncover new area of growth and opportunity.

We will also explore how to apply poetry with group coaching sessions as well as how to use a more linear technique to guide clients toward personal insights that inspire bold action.  

This will be an interactive session and include time for Q&A.  Please bring a poem that has in some way inspired, transformed, or helped you thrive.  We will share the titles in the chat, creating a ready collection of poems for everyone to take away and consider using with their clients.
