Brand new Integrative Life Coaching course!- March 7-10

I'm really excited about this new format I developed for The International Association of Councelors and Therapists. It's a four day intensive of my coaching program that will give you all you need to know to add life coaching to your clients. It is centered around coaching the unconscious mind and is unlike any other training out there. Here are the details....

An overview of the four days of training:

Day 1- Integrative Life Coaching: The structure of Change

Day one will give an overview of the life coaching structure and how to set up a recursive system of change. You will learn how to read and utilize the non verbal communication and body language that gives insight into unconscious processing.You will learn different ways of using linguistic time-line for re-imprinting the past and programming the future as well as multi-level communication for conscious and unconscious change. 

You will learn many rapid techniques to change negative emotional states and interrupt habituated patterns of all kinds. You will learn to take your clients into internally focused states in ways that flow with the coaching session as well as how to introduce neuroplasticity as the underlying structure of any long term change.

 This is coaching the unconscious mind in a very conscious way.

Day 2-Trance-Formational Conversations

Day two will cover some of the most powerful ways of producing change by using language that directionalizes the mind. You will learn the meta-pattern underneath all successful transformation and a model for setting up on going generative change. You will learn the many ways of linguistically shifting awareness using spatial and temporal predicates, presuppositions, metaphor and clean language. You will learn how to use the client’s inherent anchors and representations to produce unconscious and in-depth changes for lasting results.

Day 3- Neuro-Linguistic Coaching 

Day three will cover the basic ideas and techniques behind Neuro-Linguistic Coaching. You will experience why this more unconsciously dynamic model of NLP allows for more flexibility and integration in your changework.You will learn how to navigate through your clients internal strategies and programs to make the coaching more generative and recursive.

You will learn the basics of calibration, pacing and leading, anchoring, sub-modality manipulation and some of the core foundational patterns. 

Day 4-Coaching the Unconscious Mind: Integration

Day four brings it all together.You will learn different ways to navigate inside your clients internal representations for personalized interventions. You will practice using Erickson's interspersal method of unconscious communication and the art of embedded metaphors.

You will practice break through sessions that allow you to tease out your client's internal landscape to create multi-level interventions. You will learn how to integrate your personal style, narrative and voice to develop the power coaching states needed to create ideal coaching relationships.
