Imagine being with someone who is fully present… Giving you their full attention… With you and for you as you share. That’s the heart of ICF Competency #4, Coaching Presence, and in today’s episode, Vicki Corrington, PCC will help us grow deeper into this important skill.

 

Tune in as we:

  • Unpack the International Coach Federation’s (ICF) definition of coaching presence and teach practical applications for your practice
  • Show you how to make the shift from providing insight and direction to encouraging risk-taking and perspective-shifting transformation
  • Stress the importance of being fully present and engaged, yet invisible, so you don’t get in the way of your clients’ progress
